The Benefits of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)

CLA is a class of fatty acids that offers a number of health benefits. Although it can be found naturally in beef and dairy products, the modern diet often lacks adequate levels of CLA. As a result, many people opt to take a CLA supplement in order to obtain the desired amount for optimal health effects. NOW® CLA is derived from non-GMO safflower oil and delivers 800 mg CLA per softgel.

What is Conjugated Linoleic Acid?

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a type of naturally occurring fatty acid found in animal sources such as beef and dairy products. However, due to changes in agricultural practices, the level of CLA in our food has decreased over time, making it harder for us to obtain adequate amounts through diet alone. Therefore, using a CLA supplement is recommended to reach the desirable level for optimal effects.1
