Conjugated linoleic acid

A kind of trans fat called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) occurs naturally in several fatty animal products. Interestingly, it offers a number of confirmed health advantages. CLA has been demonstrated to support weight reduction by enhancing fat burning, preventing the synthesis of fat, and promoting fat breakdown. According to research, CLA also makes people feel more satisfied and curbs their hunger.

In a research, 54 participants who received 3.6 grams of CLA daily for 13 weeks had less hunger and felt more satisfied than those who received a placebo. But it had no impact on how much food the participants ate. Additionally, CLA appears to aid in lowering body fat. According to a study of 18 research, eating 3.2 grams of CLA daily appears to lower body fat. Studies have found CLA to be safe, and dosages up to 6 grams daily have not been associated with any negative side effects.
