CLA - Safflower-Derived Raw Material(Oil & Powder)
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a group of fatty acid isomers derived from linoleic acid. Commercial CLA is typically produced from safflower oil and standardized to two main active isomers: c9,t11 and t10,c12. CLA has been studied for its role in body composition and lipid metabolism. This raw material is supplied in two formats — oil for softgel encapsulation and spray-dried powder for dry-fill applications — intended for manufacturers producing weight management and sports nutrition supplements.
