The evidence in words
How much to take
Not recommended for fat loss.
Timing & separation
There are no strict timing conflicts on record for CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid); consistency matters more than the exact hour for most goals.
Why the dose is what it is
Certain isomers alter fat metabolism in animals dramatically; humans respond far less, and the synthetic isomer mix differs from the natural one.
Bottom line
Skip it. The fat-loss effect is negligible in humans and the synthetic isomers may do metabolic harm.
How it is used
As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.
