Recent study: People who took 3 grams of conjugated linoleic acid daily for 12 weeks had 20% to 30% higher levels of two important blood markers of immunity—IgA and IgM, both anti-infection boosters—than people who did not supplement with CLA.

Caution: Pregnant women and young children should not take CLA.
