CLA

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that could be essential to our diets. Some studies suggest that CLA also plays a role in reducing body fat, and may have the potential to increase lean body mass, also known as muscle. In the past, beef and dairy provided a natural dietary source of CLA, however, changing agriculture and processing standards have made it difficult to obtain CLA from food alone. Consequently, CLA supplementation provides a simple and sensible alternative to consumption of foods high in saturated fat.*
