Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) are a family of over 28 isomers of linoleic acid found abundantly in the meat and dairy products.
After 12 mo in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) supplementation (2 groups received CLA as part of a triglyceride or as the free fatty acid, and 1 group received olive oil as placebo), 134 of the 157 participants who concluded the study were included in an open study for another 12 mo, with all subjects were supplemented with 3.4g CLA/d in the triglyceride form conducted by Scandinavian Clinical Research AS (1), found that LBM and BMM were not affected in any of the groups. Changes in body composition were not related to diet and/or training. In conclusion, this study shows that CLA supplementation for 24 mo in healthy, overweight adults was well tolerated. It confirms also that CLA decreases BFM in overweight humans, and may help maintain initial reductions in BFM and weight in the long term.
