CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid)
Looking for support to aid in lean muscle development? Then look no further. CLA uses stored body fat as fuel and promotes recovery from intense exercise. With added Immune system health, Anti-catabolic (anti-muscle-breakdown) and Anti-oxidant benefits, there really is no reason not to add a little CLA to your stack.

I believe the public’s priorities are bit deranged, but that’s what you get when they are the ones abusing the wrong legal over the counter drug...
