CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid)
A long-popular fat-loss supplement whose human results are, honestly, negligible.
A group of fatty acids found naturally in meat and dairy, sold in concentrated form for body-fat reduction.
Animal studies looked promising; human results are underwhelming — the average effect on body fat is tiny and often not meaningful in real life. Not something to rely on for fat loss.
- !Don't expect real fat loss — diet and a calorie deficit do the work.
- !Can cause digestive upset; some concern over insulin sensitivity at high doses.
