0 information about their dietary protocol for any of the individuals in this study.
For all, we know the group taking CLA could be eating more than the Placebo group = Greater Gains
The workout program was so vague.. They worked out 3 days a week. What does that entail?

You can also find countless CLA Studies that show how ineffective it is on obese people even upward to a 6g dose (Study used 5g)

For example

Therefore, the clinical evidence appears to be insufficient and not unanimous regarding the effects on body fat reduction and major side effects have already been described.

Thus CLA does not reduce body weight in healthy exercising humans of normal body weight.

Pretty much my point. Just curious if anyone thinks that one study changes perception. CLA is not well liked. Just find odd a company would post something like that. Especially when the study is off in information.

Agreed. CLA is rampant on social media. Dr Oz pimps that stuff all the time. Found interesting they are trying to push it as a muscle builder now.

Thought interesting and good for debate. Only reason I put out there. Not sure of the brand posting it.

People argue so much back and forth about CLA and get so caught up in being right that I think most lose sight of a simple fact with CLA and that's that it appears to be an ingredient that works really well for some people and not at all for others (as with many natural ingredients).

Do you know who performed the study?

Tbf I think that given the size of the study it’s unlikely that the difference in the body composition changes, which was big, between the groups was down to one just happening to have a better diet on average.

I think the main thing to keep in mind is that CLA has been shown to be quite unreliable as the results people get differ a lot. Of course that’s not a good thing but epi and laxo, two things which are generally considered to just work, are like that too.

If you can spare the p, it’s worth a shot. CLA’s pretty inexpensive. Like try it for two/three months and see if it works for you.
