Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA; cis-9, trans-11-18:2), present in dairy products and beef, has been shown in animals to have anticarcinogenic, growth-promoting, antiatherogenic, anti-diabetic and lean body mass-enhancing and/or weight-loss properties. Data from animal models has been used to suggest the cis-9, trans-isomer was responsible

for CLA’s anti-carcinogenic properties, while the trans-10, cis-12-isomer was responsible for the observed weight loss/ muscle-mass enhancement effects. While the 9,11-isomer is the primary isomer found in nature, the CLA available in diet supplements has been shown to be composed of one, often two (including the 10,12-isomer) and sometimes as many as six or more CLA isomers.
