CLA

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a type of fat found in small amounts in a variety of foods, including beef, lamb, and dairy products. Some people take CLA supplements as a way to try to promote weight loss, improve body composition, or reduce the risk of certain types of cancer.

There is some evidence to suggest that CLA supplements may be helpful in certain situations, such as for weight loss and body composition. However, the evidence is mixed and more research is needed to fully understand the effects of CLA supplements.

CLA supplements are generally considered safe when taken in recommended doses, but they can cause side effects such as gastrointestinal upset, diarrhea, and nausea. It is important to speak with a healthcare provider before taking any supplement to determine if it is appropriate for you and to discuss the appropriate dosage.
