                                Naturally occurring conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA, was first identified by scientists in grilled beef in the late 1980s. Since then, this unique omega-6 fatty acid has gained significant attention for its potential health benefits, distinguishing it from industrially produced trans fats. Natural CLA is primarily found in meat and dairy products from grass-fed ruminant animals.
