What Is CLA Used For?
CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) is a naturally occurring fatty acid found in dairy and meat products of cows, sheep, and various other animals (although CLA supplements often contain CLA made synthetically from plant oils). Although CLA is a trans fat (a type of fat that is usually considered a “bad” fat), CLA may have beneficial effects. CLA shows promise in helping people lose body fat and may be useful for cancer prevention.
