Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) are a family of at least 28
isomers of linoleic acid found especially in meat and dairy products.They have
been shown to possess anti-tumor capabilities as well as improving lean tissue
percentage (%). Some studies of CLA in human diets show that
it may reduce body fat, especially abdominal fat. A maximum reduction in body
fat was achieved with a daily dose of 3.4g.
A very recently concluded study (Feb 2009) was conducted to determine if CLA
when taken with both whey protein and creatine, resulted inimproved strength
gains in heavy resistance training athletes. Over a 5 week period 69 strength-training
athletes were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups ( a cross-over random double-blind
study). The results showed that the subjects that consumed whey protein, creatine
monohydrate, and CLA had statistically significant improvements
in both strength and lean-tissue gains over the control groups.
