CLA TG 40 Powder B

Definition: CLA is composed of extracted Conjugated Linoleic Acid derived from safflower seed oil, and they are a family of at least 28 isomers of linoleic acid found mostly in the meat and dairy products derived from ruminants. Their two double bonds are conjugated (i.e., separated by a single bond). CLAs can be either cis-fats or trans-fats.

Application: CLA is marketed in dietary supplement form for its supposed anti-cancer benefit and as a bodybuilding aid. Likewise, there is evidence that CLA has a useful benefit for overweight or obese people as it has no long-term effect on body composition. Also, CLA supplementation has been associated with increased plasma C-reactive protein concentrations and a reduction in serum adiponectin concentrations, which indicates that CLA supplements have a pro-inflammatory effect. Some study suggests CLA consumption reduces the risk of breast or colon cancer. This is similar to the results of reduced milk intake and reduced breast or colon cancer.
