CLA per Obesity

B

Cochrane meta-analysis of 18 RCTs (n=807) found CLA at 3.2 g/day reduced body fat mass by 1.33 kg over 6-12 months without significant change in body weight, suggesting lean mass preservation. A 2-year RCT (n=134) found sustained fat reduction. Effects are modest and require long-term use.
