Abstract

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is widely used as a dietary supplement due to its reported benefits in enhancing immunity, regulating inflammation, treating obesity, and preventing cancer. However, there is a lack of comprehensive studies on its mechanisms and dose-effect relationships. Moreover, there are insufficient in-depth studies on CLA's new functions, safety, side effects, and clinical utility. This review systematically examines the structure and sources of CLA, summarizes its role in improving human health, and critically reviews the potential mechanisms behind these benefits. It also analyzes the side effects of CLA and addresses issues related to dosing and oxidative decomposition in CLA research. Additionally, the potential of using CLA-producing probiotics to manage diseases is explored. This review can guide and promote further research on CLA's functions and support the development of CLA dietary supplements. It will accelerate the development of CLA nutritional and medical foods, contribute to the improvement of human health, and have important social meaning and economic value.
