Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated whether long-term conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) supplements help with weight and fat loss in overweight or obese people, based on data from randomized clinical trials (RCTs).
  • Out of 15 identified RCTs, only 7 met the quality criteria, and the meta-analysis found that CLA had a small but statistically significant effect on weight loss (about 0.07 kg) and fat loss (about 0.13 kg), though the actual benefit is minor and its clinical importance is uncertain.
  • The studies also reported minor side effects like constipation and diarrhea, and overall, the evidence does not strongly support that long-term CLA supplementation leads to meaningful improvements in body composition.]
