Come on guys, you know this

[Curt James]

I answered on Facebook.

Conjugated linoleic acid.

According to Wikipedia, "CLA is marketed as a dietary supplement on the basis of its supposed health benefits. There is however no convincing evidence that taking CLA supplements has any benefits for human health."

Dr. Joseph Mercola disagrees, though.

Body Composition: Exciting research on humans has shown that CLA has been beneficial in lowering body fat, with even greater improvement in those who combine exercise with regular dietary intake of CLA. Animal research has been even more promising,iii with significant improvements seen in both reducing body fat and increasing lean body mass.

Previous studies have shown that CLA reduces body fat while preserving muscle tissue, and may also increase your metabolic rate. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutritioniv found that individuals who took 3.2 grams of CLA per day had a drop in fat mass of about 0.2 pounds each week (that’s about one pound a month) compared to those given a placebo.

Since CLA cannot be manufactured in the human body, you must get it from your diet by consuming high-quality dietary sources such as grass-fed beef.

Question #22: Do you know the difference between whey and casein protein?


When it comes to these two common protein supplements, casein is referred to the slower of two. By slower it means that the uptake takes longer time opposed to the faster working whey protein which is excellent to use after a workout. Casein suits well as a supplement before you go to bed or when you know that you won’t be able to eat any meals for a longer period of time.

Calcium, the most common type, most often used as a supplement prior night's sleep to get a continuous supply of amino acids over several hours. Casein texture is relatively viscous, which is valuable in the diet as it more filling.

Micellar casein is the most natural and least processed form of casein, with the same proportions as milk. Then the body must break it down into more steps, taken micellar casein up even slower.

Triple phased casein contains three different kinds of proteins with different rapid uptake. The casein is then responsible for the slow protein, while whey is the rapid protein and egg protein funds quickly. This combination gives you the best of both worlds and you get both quick supply of protein but also for many hours.
