What Does CLA Stand For?
CLA stands for Conjugated Linoleic Acid. CLA naturally occurs in high fat foods such as cheese or beef. CLA gelcaps derive their CLA from sunflower or safflower oil, which undergo super concentration to yield the active CLA oil, so you get the CLA you want, without all the fat and calories from cheese or beef.

How Does CLA Reduce Body Fat?
CLA works to reduce body fat by preventing fat accumulation in fat cells. Fat normally enters the fat cell through a ìdoorî that is controlled by an enzyme, the ìkeyî. By acting on this enzyme, or ìkeyî, CLA keeps the ìdoorî locked. When the ìdoorî is locked, fat cannot enter the cells thereby not allowing the amount of fat to increase in the cells. The less fat that is present in the cells, the smaller and less mature they become, this helps to reduce the level of fat in the body. CLA also works to increase lean muscle tissue activity (calorie burning) by enhancing the enzyme activity in muscle cells.

How Much CLA Should I Take?
3 grams of CLA has been scientifically proven to improve body leanness AND muscle tone while dieting. This amount of active CLA could only be obtained before by eating over 5,000 calories per day of high fat foods, such as cheese and beef. PVL now delivers this pure Isolated CLA, free from harmful fats such as trans fats and cholesterol, so you can now get just the pure CLA - without all the calories! Up to 9 grams of CLA per day may be taken. CLA also works best when ìcycledî, by using it for 3-4 weeks and then not using it for the next 3-4 weeks, then start the cycle over again.

What Makes CLA-3 Better Than Other CLA Brands?
1. PVLís CLA-3 gelcaps contain up to 60% MORE active CLA than other capsules. This means that you would normally have to take 5 capsules of some other brands to get the same benefit as you would from just 3 CLA-3 gelcaps!
2. Our capsules also contain the exact 2 CLA isomers (there are a few different fat isomers that can be called CLA) that do all the work; (c9, t11 and t10, c12). This information is proudly present right on our label. This is important because not all products that are called CLA, are CLA ñ many other CLA labeled products on the market do not have these 2 isomers listed on their label, and thus are simply compressed unconcentrated sunflower or safflower oil ñ not CLA.
3. Again, for over 9 years at PVL weíve been informing consumers, when you want results only choose brands that deliver real results ñ and PVL is among the very top. We did not rush a ìme tooî CLA supplement to the market when CLA first became big news 9 years ago, and then again 4 years ago. At PVL, we take our time and we search the world over for the best raw materials. CLA-3 took 3 years to develop using some of the best CLA materials ever sourced. Certain aspects canít always be measured in the lab ñ sometimes you have to feel the difference for yourself, by simply using the product. Use CLA-3 and you will feel the difference in our CLA.

Has CLA Ever Been Studied?
Oh yes indeed. In fact for over 15 years now, CLA is among the top 10 of all supplements ever researched. CLA has so much research behind that there are over 50 patents and patents-pending for its various uses. Studies have ranged from as short as 10 days up to as long as 1 year, and in each study, fat loss was the result. CLA-3 is not a magic bullet, but it comes close. Eat a sensible diet, restrict your intake of sugar, exercise and try CLA at 3-4 capsules per day for 3-4 weeks.
