What is CLA?
CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) is a fatty acid that can be found in meat and dairy, with multiple health benefits. This is the most common fatty acid of the Omega-6 type. There are 28 types of CLA.
CLA can not be produced by the human body, but only obtained through nutrition and nutritional supplements. The main sources of CLA include milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, sunflower oil and lamb, veal, turkey and chicken. In dairy and meat, the concentration of CLA varies greatly, depending on the diet of animals. For example, foods that come from grass-fed cows have several times more CLA than grain-fed foods.
Who is CLA recommended for?
Supplements with CLA are recommended for people who want to lose the extra kilos. People who want to increase their muscle mass and do strength training can notice both a better definition of muscles following weight loss and an improvement in performance.
CLA supplements should be avoided by people with diabetes, metabolic syndrome and blood clotting disorders. Also, you shouldn’t consume extra CLA before an operation, so it’s a good idea to stop two weeks before that.
