"Plant-derived CLA from safflower oil — 1250mg conjugated linoleic acid for body composition and lean mass support"
Overview
Sports Research CLA 1250 provides 1250mg of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) from non-GMO safflower oil per softgel with 180 softgels per bottle. CLA is a naturally occurring fatty acid found in grass-fed beef and dairy that has been shown in clinical studies to reduce body fat mass while preserving lean muscle mass. Meta-analyses show CLA supplementation at 3.2g/day reduces body fat by approximately 0.05 kg/week. The effects are modest but consistent, and CLA works best when combined with exercise.
