Conjugated Linoleic Acid (cla) Overview

Conjugated Linoleic Acid (cla) Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a type of polyunsaturated fatty acid found in small amounts in the meat and dairy products of certain animals. It is also found in small amounts in some plant-based oils, such as safflower and sunflower oil. The majority of dietary supplements utilize CLA obtained from safflower oil. CLA has been the subject of numerous scientific studies and has been suggested to have a number of potential health benefits, including weight loss, improving body composition, reducing inflammation, and decreasing the risk of certain types of cancer. However, the evidence for these potential benefits is mixed and more research is needed to fully understand the effects of CLA on health.

Ulipristal Acetate Overview

  • Ulipristal is used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse (sex without any method of birth control or with a birth control method that failed or was not used properly [e.g., a condom that slipped or broke or birth control pills that were not taken as scheduled]). Ulipristal should not be used to prevent pregnancy on a regular basis. This medication is to be used as an emergency contraceptive or backup in case regular birth control fails or is used incorrectly. Ulipristal is in a class of medications called progestins. It works by preventing or delaying the release of an egg from the ovary. It also may work by changing the lining of the uterus (womb) to prevent development of a pregnancy. Ulipristal may prevent pregnancy, but it will not prevent the spread of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV, the virus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [AIDS]) and other sexually transmitted diseases.
