Conjugated Linoleic Acid (better known as CLA) is an essential fatty acid widely used by bodybuilders and people dieting for low body fat levels. It has been shown to significantly decrease body fat whilst helping retain muscle mass even when in a calorie deficit.
Studies suggest that CLA is highly anti-catabolic, preventing the loss of lean mass when the body is under stress from dieting, cardio and intense training. It is said to be more effective than manmade pharmaceutical compounds at helping retain muscle mass. As well as helping to increase and retain muscle mass whilst shedding body fat, CLA is thought to be a powerful antioxidant and immune system booster. It is certainly very popular with bodybuilders and physique athletes who leave no stone unturned in their bid to achieve very low body fat levels.
CLA is a completely natural product, found in meat and dairy (particularly in beef and other red meats). Bodybuilders choose to take CLA supplements, because it is very difficult to get the optimum amounts of this fatty acid from food alone. Eating enough CLA from wholefoods carries a significant calorie count, which would be counterproductive to a working to a macronutrient-led or calorie-controlled diet. CLA supplementation is a practical, measurable way of getting exact amounts of this important free fatty acid into your diet regardless of your caloric needs.
