CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid), a distinctive omega-6 fatty acid, has rapidly become one of the most talked about weight loss products since its introduction to the public in the late 90's.

Recent research has shown that use of CLA has proven to be highly effective in reducing body fat and increasing muscle mass. And with most Americans consuming less than one gram from their diet per day, NOW CLA Conjugated Linoleic Acid is a smart choice for anyone trying to maintain a healthy body weight.
