CLA stands for conjugated linoleic acid. CLA is most commonly found in full fat dairy, butter and grass fed beef fat, which may make you think that it’s really bad for you. But I’m here to tell you in moderation it’s not. CLA is a type of polyunsaturated fat, its a form of linoleic acid which is the common omega-6 fatty acid found in foods. If we are getting it from a good quality source it can have some impressive health benefits (see below)
 
  • Can help with body fat loss
  • Improve digestion
  • Help keep blood sugar levels normal
  • Help reverse hardening of the arteries
  • Help with bone building
  • Improve muscle strength
Remember to always speak to your Doctor or Dietician before including a new supplement. There can be side effects from supplementing with CLA and you should not take it in supplement form close to having surgery as it can slow down blood clotting.
