Research: Sixty overweight (BMI ≤30) but otherwise healthy men and women, aged 35 to 65 years, were randomized to a daily intake of 500 ml skimmed milk fortified with 3 grams of Tonalin CLA or a placebo milk over a 12-week period.
Results: The results showed a significant 3% reduction of BFM (body fat mass) in the overweight group taking the milk fortified with Tonalin CLA. No significant fat loss was found in the obese volunteers or in either group taking the placebo. The research also found that CLA supplementation was not associated with any adverse effects or clinical changes.
