Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)

General Facts

  • Reduces stored body fat, increases lean muscle

  • Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) supplementation reduced
    body fat mass (BFM) in healthy, overweight adults,
    according to the results of a randomized, double-blind
    trial published in the June issue of the American Journal
    of Clinical Nutrition

  • CLA was first identified when extracts from fried beef
    were found to be anticarcinogenic

  • Short-term trials showed that CLA may reduce body fat
    mass (BFM) and increase lean body mass (LBM), but
    the long-term effect of CLA was not examined

  • CLA is a mixture of linoleic acid isomers with conjugated
    double bonds and can be ingested orally in the CLA-
    triacylglycerol or CLA-FFA forms. Animal studies have
    shown benefits for arteriosclerosis, immune stimulation,
    and impaired glucose tolerance

  • CLA has been used by bodybuilders and is promoted to
    the general public as a weight-loss agent

  • CLA is also believed to increase lean body mass and
    decrease lipid levels

  • Beneficial body composition changes have been
    associated primarily with trans-10,cis-12 CLA in in vitro
    and animal studies

  • Increased oxidation of fatty acids in adipose tissue and
    skeletal muscle was also observed in animal models

  • CLA is generally well tolerated. However, because of the
    potential effects of CLA on glucose regulation, patients
    with diabetes or cardiovascular disease should avoid
    CLA use
  • CLA may interact with antidiabetic medications because
    of its effect on glucose metabolism and with
    hyperlipidemia medications because of its potential
    effects on lipid levels

  • Although CLA's benefits on body composition are
    promising, its negative effects on glucose metabolism
    and insulin resistance are troubling. Supplemental use of
    CLA produces minimal reductions, at best, in body
    weight, despite its favorable effects on BFM and possibly
    LBM. Use of CLA for weight reduction should be
    reserved as an adjunct therapy to standard weight
    reduction interventions and limited to patients requiring
    mild weight loss and at low risk for diabetes and
    cardiovascular disease.

  • NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Nov 23 - High intakes of
    high-fat dairy foods and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)
    may reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, according to a
    report in the October American Journal of Clinical
    Nutrition.

  • "Some early research suggests that there are
    components in dairy foods -- such as calcium, vitamin D,
    and conjugated linoleic acid -- that may be helpful
    against cancer.

  • A new study shows that obese or overweight people who
    took CLA supplements every day for six months lost
    about 3 extra pounds than those who took a daily pill
    containing only olive oil, which doesnt include CLA
    (placebo).

  • CLA may be regarded as a component of the diet that
    exerts antineoplastic activity and its effect may be
    antiproliferative or pro-apoptotic.

  • Various antioxidant and anti-tumor properties have been
    attributed to CLA, and studies on mice and rats show
    promising results in reducing mammary, skin, and colon
    tumor growth

  • Studies on CLA in humans shows a tendency for
    reduced body fat particularly abdominal fat, changes in
    serum total lipids and decreased whole body glucose
    uptake. The maximum reduction in body fat mass was
    achieved with a 3.4 g daily dose. CLA supplementation
    has, however, been shown to increase C-reactive
    protein levels and to induce oxidative stress[9] and to
    reduce insulin sensitivity and increase lipid peroxidation
CLA is a naturally occurring trans isomer of linoleic acid. It is unique in structure because of the location
of thedouble bonds in the linoleic acid molecule. Pure Encapsulations concentrated CLA provides an
average of 77% total CLA, and contains the main isomers c9,t11 and t10,c12.
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)
CLA Promotes Lean Body Composition:

CLA may benefit body composition and support weight
control. Recent research shows that the specific isomers
c9,t11 and t10,c12 play key roles in many of CLA’s
physiological properties. In a preliminary human study
involving 60 overweight subjects, conjugated linoleic acid
reduced body fat mass.

Several animal studies explore possible mechanisms of
CLA, including the ability to moderate fat deposition,
increase lipolysis in adipocytes, reduce energy intake,
increase energy expenditure and support metabolic rate
This product is derived from safflower oil using a
patented process and is Tonalin® brand CLA.
Pure Encapsulations recommends 3-5 grams per day, in
divided doses, before meals
If pregnant or lactating, consult your physician before

CLA stands for conjugated linoleic acid. It’s a naturally
occurring omega-6 fatty acid in a number of foods. Fatty acids
are the building blocks that make up fat, in sort of the same
way amino acids are the molecules that make up a protein.

Examples of other fatty acids include linoleic acid and alpha-
linolenic acid.

Due to the unique chemical structure of CLA (two double
bonds separated by one single bond) compared to regular
linoleic acid, CLA functions quite differently from regular
linoleic acid (the kind found in sunflower oil or safflower oil).
Specifically, CLA may help with reducing bodyfat, increasing
lean body mass, promoting immune function, preventing
muscle wasting, and may have antioxidant qualities. CLA is
found in relatively large quantities in some foods like dairy
products, beef and veal, and even turkey.

The average person probably gets up to one gram a day just
by eating regular foods.

The trouble is, you’d probably have to eat more meat or more
cheese than you ever dreamed of to get enough CLA to see
any beneficial effects.

For instance, cheeses have an average of between 2.9 mg
and 7.1 mg of CLA per gram of fat. You’d have to eat cheese
on the order of several pounds a day to get anywhere near the
three-gram dosage that appears to be beneficial to humans. It
makes more sense to consume CLA supplements that contain
a high concentration of this unique fatty acid.
CLA treatment (3.4-6.8 g/day) for 6 months reduced body
fat mass of obese and overweight adult men and women.

Similarly, CLA supplementation (4.2 g/day, mixed
isomers) of middle aged adults for 3 months decreased
the proportion of body fat compared to controls.

Exercising adults consuming 1.8 g/day mixed CLA
isomers for 12 weeks had reduced body fat compared to
placebo controls
