Scientifically developed in partnership, Infinite Labs® and Heuer M.D. Research, proudly introduce the Elevate Series—the newest edition of premium supplements that utilize clinically accredited ingredients backed by years of scientific research and systematic findings.
95% Pure CLA to Support the Breakdown of Stored Body Fat*
The Elevate Series was developed by one of the premier research medical doctors in the country. Dr. Marvin A. Heuer, M.D. F.A.A.F.P., has practiced medicine for over 30 years with experience in international and domestic clinical research, as well as pharmaceutical and nutraceutical development. With over 300 domestic and international nutraceutical patents and patents-pending, Dr. Heuer has served as Worldwide R&D Director and Vice President for a number of companies in the health industry before partnering with Infinite Labs on the design, formulation and development of the Elevate Series.
Elevate Series™ CLA
Our 95% PURE CLA formula utilizes the purest form of conjugated linoleic acid with 95% active isomers to ensure you are getting the most out of your CLA supplement.*
Not all CLA supplements are equal. Many CLA supplements contain only 80% purity, but the ELEVATE SERIES: CLA 95% PURE is the gold standard for purity. There has been conflicting research regarding the clinical trials involving CLA, mainly due to the purity of CLA. Many CLA supplements contain impurities, and these ‘impurities’ are the factors that contribute to the inconclusive results, as different isomers are shown to have different physiological actions in the human body. CLA has been shown to support muscle building, body fat reduction and an optimum cellular environment for overall health. CLA has been investigated to be a fat burner and health-supporting agent due to its effect on the molecular signaling receptor family named PPAR, which is related to fat burning, inflammation, and glucose/lipid metabolism.*
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a naturally occurring fatty acid that can be found in beef and dairy products (milk and cheese). The CLA isomer that is involved in the body fat-lowering effect and plays an active role in lipid metabolism is the trans-10, cis-12 isomer, whereas > 90% of the total CLA intake from food in humans is accounted for by the cis-9, trans-11 isomer. CLA is a commercially available weight loss supplement that has been associated with a reduction in muscle glycogen breakdown, supported endurance capacity, reduced body mass and decreased muscle damage and inflammatory responses. It has been reported that CLA has anti-obesity potentials, such as reducing lipogenesis and food intake and increasing energy expenditure, lipolysis and fat oxidation.*
Studies in both men and women that have supplemented with CLA in combination with a standardized physical exercise protocol have shown effective in supporting endurance performance and body composition. There have been eight clinical trials that have shown positive reductions in body fat with CLA supplementation. Although there are many suspected mechanisms for fat loss with CLA, it seems the main reason is CLA inhibits the activity of the enzyme lipoprotein lipase (LPL). This enzyme transfers fats from the bloodstream to the fat cells. As a result of the decreased enzyme activity, the transport of fat into fat cells is blocked. *
At the same time, CLA also assists the breakdown of stored body fat (lipolysis); additional studies have shown that CLA increases the disintegration of cells (apoptosis), resulting in a decreased number of existing fat cells. A 2007 study from the University of Wisconsin-Madison confirmed that CLA supplementation increased calorie and fat burning during the night by almost 15% as compared to the control group. Over time, the small increase in fat burning that occurs during sleep can lead to a significant loss of body fat.*
