I recently picked up a few bottles of SNS CLA Xtreme for super cheap during the Black Friday sale. I've come across conflicting studies pertaining to the effectiveness of this particular substance, with some purporting fat loss benefits, some purporting lean body mass gains, some showing no benefits at all for supplementation of CLA, and even some showing some serious negative effects as well.
My wife is currently on a fat loss cycle at the moment. She has suffered from high blood pressure for a few years now, and the supplementation plan I've put together for her has a strong focus on improving insulin sensitivity, increasing brown fat activity, and burning excess body fat while avoiding anything with potential to increase her already too high blood pressure. I was considering giving the CLA to her to utilize, however I've come across a few studies which showed a decrease in insulin sensitivity or ability to induce insulin resistance in overweight or obese individuals. I'm hoping that Steve from SNS can chime in here to discuss the potential benefits and drawbacks of CLA supplementation to allow me to formulate a plan for how to effectively utilize the bottles that I have.
