Take 2 capsules daily with 8 or more ounces of water following a meal, or as recommended by your health care practitioner. There is some caffeine in metabolism+ so we recommend taking it after your morning or midday meal. Don’t take it on an empty stomach. 

This product is not recommended if pregnant or lactating. Consult your healthcare practitioner before using metabolism+ or any dietary supplement product. Store the supplement tightly sealed in a cool, dry place without direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.

Each serving (2 capsules) of metabolism+ provides 150 mg of caffeine, sourced from green tea leaves. To put this moderate (yet effective) dose in perspective, 150 mg of caffeine is approximately the amount in 1.5 cups (around 12 ounces) of coffee, or approximately 2 to 3 cups of tea. That means you would want to drink ~ 1 less cup of coffee (~2 to 3 less cups of tea, etc.) each day to balance your caffeine intake.

We recommend most customers fit metabolism+ into the first half of their day (after breakfast or lunch) since there is caffeine. If you metabolize caffeine quickly and taking it later in the day won’t impact your sleep, then you absolutely can. But for most people, taking it earlier in the day is best.

Metabolism, in simple terms, is the vital process by which the body converts the nutrition we consume from our diet (foods and beverages) into energy to fuel our bodies every day. The goal is to have an efficient metabolism (not sluggish) to support optimal energy balance. Click here to read more about metabolism.

Metabolism refers to all the processes in the body that regulate how we breakdown, store, and use energy. And metabolic health is how we quantify how efficiently those processes function through measures like blood sugar, blood lipids, blood pressure, and waist circumference.  

Only a small percentage of Americans (12%) are considered to be metabolically healthy, therefore it is so important to support metabolism and metabolic health on a daily basis! Lifestyle, physical activity, restorative sleep, healthful nutrition habits, and a plant-centric approach are all vital to supporting active metabolism and metabolic health. To further synergize healthy lifestyle and nutrition choices, targeted botanicals support essential components of metabolism and metabolic health.* 

Together, the four plant bioactives in mbg’s metabolism+ deliver targeted support to essential components of metabolic health including helping to optimize: metabolic rate (calorie burn), fat metabolism (fat burn and reduced fat storage), appetite (curb cravings and promote satiety), neuroendocrine hormone balance (leptin and adiponectin), cardiometabolic health (blood sugar, blood pressure, and lipids), body composition (weight, waist and hip circumference, and body fat), and overall energy balance.* 

Our high-quality formulas are delivered in premium, sustainable, and recyclable packaging (recyclable amber glass bottles and jars, recyclable bags, and recyclable cardboard shipping boxes made from 100% recycled paper). Always looking towards the latest innovations, we carefully and intentionally source our eco-friendly packaging to prioritize the environment, but also to protect the premium ingredients in our capsules, gelcaps, and powders (i.e., vitamins, minerals, botanicals, peptides, probiotics, bioactives) from UV light degradation. This is pivotal to ensure quality standards throughout the lifecycle of the product.

Unfortunately many refillable bags or containers do not provide the same protection and stability for our ingredients as our amber glass (bottles, jars) and PET bags achieve. What's more, the product-specific manufacturing information (i.e., specific identifiers such as the lot and date) stamped on each product would be lost when the customer discards the refill packaging, as is customary. That lost information would not enable us to comply with a variety of very important FDA regulations specific to dietary supplements (e.g., cGMPs, adverse event reporting, etc.), and regulatory compliance is something that mindbodygreen respects and prioritizes. From an additional safety standpoint, there are also microbial contamination concerns with refillable vessels over time. Thank you for your consideration as to why we have thoughtfully curated our packaging in the way we do.

Absolutely! You can pair metabolism+ with any mindbodygreen supplements+ product. Which product you choose to take in combination is entirely up to your individual needs and preferences. Another wonderful mindbodygreen supplements+ product with caffeine (also 150 mg dose) is focus+. While it's totally safe to take metabolism+ and focus+ products together daily, at 300 mg of caffeine combined, that's the caffeine equivalent of about 3 cups of coffee (about 24 ounces). For that reason, you would want to reduce your other caffeine inputs (think: coffee, tea, etc.) to not overdo it! We do recommend consulting with your healthcare practitioner before using metabolism+ or any additional dietary supplement product.

While all of the active ingredient sources are 100% plant-origin (green tea, veld grape, and cayenne pepper), mbg’s metabolism+ is technically vegetarian and not vegan. 

Three of the active ingredients are vegan (the EGCG and caffeine from green tea leaf extract and veld grape stem and leaf extract). But the cayenne pepper fruit extract (Capsimax®) has a protective layer that’s insect-derived and provides targeted, controlled delivery technology. While this patented technology is critically important, it’s vegetarian. Thus, the overall product is not vegan.

Yes, each ingredient and product in our portfolio (including metabolism+), is third-party tested for purity and potency by ISO-certified labs.
