Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a type of polyunsaturated fatty acid that is primarily found in the meat and dairy products of ruminants, like cows and sheep. It is often taken as a dietary supplement due to its potential health benefits. Several studies suggest that CLA may aid in weight loss by reducing body fat and increasing lean body mass, although the evidence is mixed. Other research has looked into its potential anti-cancer properties and effects on heart health.
