Tag: Fatty acid isomers

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is not a single substance but a complex family of up to 28 different positional and geometric isomers of the omega-6 fatty acid, linoleic acid. The precise combination and ratio of these components, particularly the key isomers, is what dictates the physiological effects seen in both food and supplement forms.

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a naturally occurring fatty acid found primarily in meat and dairy products from ruminant animals. Numerous studies suggest that CLA may help the body in a variety of ways, from improving body composition to modulating immune response.

Natural conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a complex mixture of fatty acid isomers predominantly found in meat and dairy products from grass-fed ruminant animals. Unlike man-made supplements, this natural form is created through a complex biohydrogenation process involving bacteria in the animal's digestive system.
