CLA - LifePro

With its CLA , LifePro Nutrition offers a health food supplement that contains conjugated linoleic acid , a specific type of fatty acid found in safflower oil . Safflower oil is generally clear and pale yellow in color. It mainly contains unsaturated fatty acids (rich in omega-6), such as linoleic acid and oleic acid. Consuming enough good quality fatty acids is, for the athlete, important for the proper functioning of his body. CLA is found in animal products (meat, dairy products), but in small quantities. The body is not able to synthesize it.

Safflower oil is extracted from the seeds of the safflower plant. This herbaceous plant belongs to the Asteraceae family and is native to western Asia and northern Africa. Today, it is cultivated in various parts of the world, including North America, India, and Australia. The process of producing safflower oil begins with harvesting the seeds, usually in the summer when the flowers have faded and the seeds are ripe. These seeds are then cleaned to remove impurities. Finally, they are pressed to extract the oil. The resulting crude oil can then be refined to remove impurities and obtain a higher quality oil .
