Sources of CLA

I've mentioned that beef is one of the main sources of CLA (conjugated linoleic acid). The problem being that in order for cows to produce CLA they need to be grass fed. Hay and silage fed cows do not produce as much CLA. Other grass fed ruminants such as sheep, goats, deer, antelope and buffalo also produce higher levels of CLA.

Another source of CLA is eggs, but they should be coming from free range chickens.

Because most of food supply is not free range animals these days, supplementation is often necessary for us to get good amounts of CLA. I've found a great source for the supplement CLA, just click here.
