St. Paul, Minn. Just in time to help get fit for spring break and the upcoming
spring season, Minnesota-based Old Home Foods is introducing Safflower Power,
the first yogurt in the United States to have Clarinol CLA (Conjugated Linoleic
Acid) derived from natural safflower oil and clinically proven to help increase
muscle tone and reduce body fat. By integrating just two 6-ounce servings of
Safflower Power yogurt into your daily diet, it helps maintain muscle tone and
keep the weight off in as little as 8 to 12 weeks when combined with a healthy
diet and exercise program. Safflower Power yogurt will be available in the
refrigerated section of Minnesota grocery stores beginning in early March in
eight delicious varieties: Strawberry, Black Cherry, Blueberry, Banana-Mango,
Marionberry, Peach, Pomegranate-Blueberry, and Red Raspberry. Safflower Power
yogurt will have a suggested retail price of 83 cents per cup and is gluten-free
and high-fructose corn syrup-free, with as little as 160 calories.
“Safflower Power yogurt is ideal for active women and men who want some extra
help to look and feel good, especially as we get ready for spring break and the
upcoming spring season,” said Chris Freytag, national health and fitness expert.
“We can all use a little help and Safflower Power yogurt with CLA helps
increase muscle tone and accelerates the reduction of body fat. I’m a huge
yogurt fan and always have yogurt in my refrigerator so now that Safflower
Power yogurt is available, I will be integrating it into my daily diet.”
The name, Safflower Power yogurt, comes from the fact that it includes CLA, a
safe and effective ingredient derived from natural safflower oil which helps
increase lean muscle and reduce body fat in as little as 8 to 12 weeks when
combined with a healthy diet and exercise program. Studies show CLA to be a safe
ingredient with no adverse effects from taking the recommended doses. (Source:
Lipid Nutrition) The FDA reviewed CLA and had no objections that it is safe for
use as an ingredient in certain food categories (milk, yogurt, fruit juice, meal
replacement bars, etc.) CLA is found in small amounts in our diet in products
from ruminant animals (cows) such as meat, cheese and dairy products at low
levels. CLA has been commercially available as a supplement for more than 10
years such as in capsules and shake mixes.
“We are excited to be the first company to offer yogurt with CLA in the United
States,” said Geoff Murphy, CEO of Old Home Foods. “And we are especially proud
to be able to bring it first to consumers in our home state of Minnesota.”
