Lumina METABOLIC is formulated with \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-purity berberine hydrochloride extracts\u003c\/strong\u003e, a botanical compound that has been traditionally used and extensively studied for its role in supporting \u003cstrong\u003ehealthy glucose metabolism and metabolic balance\u003c\/strong\u003e as part of a balanced diet and lifestyle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike stimulant-based metabolic products, berberine does \u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e act on the central nervous system and does \u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e increase heart rate or rely on caffeine.
