MA-05 - Cuure

Description of MA-05

Cuure is a French laboratory founded in 2019, known for formulas designed with a scientific committee and for dosages stated in plain sight. The MA-05 Metabolic Activator is its targeted answer on metabolism.

It is a capsule supplement acting on five mechanisms identified by the brand: satiety, stress, lipolysis, the microbiota and blood sugar balance. Rather than piling up ingredients, it relies on four actives, two of them patented, dosed at precise amounts.

You will find MetabolAid®, a hibiscus and lemon verbena extract, Safr'Inside™ saffron, standardised green tea and chromium. The microcompressed tablets are protected by a NUTRAFINISH® coating, which masks the taste and preserves the actives.

MA-05 is aimed at people who want to support their metabolism as part of a balanced lifestyle. Vegan, gluten free, lactose free, sugar free and soya free, it fits easily into most diets.

Composition of MA-05

MA-05 plays the restraint card: few actives, but transparent dosages. A daily dose of two capsules supplies the following amounts:

• MetabolAid®: 500 mg, patented hibiscus and lemon verbena extract
• Green tea extract: 75 mg, standardised to 45% EGCG
• Safr'Inside™: 30 mg, patented saffron extract
• Chromium picolinate: 1.6 mg, that is 0.185 mg of elemental chromium

Chromium contributes to a normal macronutrient metabolism and to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels. The two patented actives are dosed at the amounts used in the work published by their manufacturers, which sets this formula apart from many weakly concentrated blends.

Origin of the raw materials

MA-05 is formulated and packaged in France, like the whole Cuure range. The brand's production is mostly French, at 85%, the rest being spread between Belgium, the Czech Republic, Spain, the United Kingdom and Japan.

Ingredients are sourced from specialised manufacturers, with an emphasis on bioavailability. Every batch is tested by independent laboratories. The MetabolAid® and Safr'Inside™ actives are patented extracts, traced back to their supplier.

How to take MA-05

MA-05 is designed to be taken with meals, never on an empty stomach. The instructions come down to a few points:

• Two capsules a day
• At the start of a meal, preferably breakfast or lunch
• With a glass of water

The brand recommends a course of at least three months, the time needed for the metabolism to respond gradually. MA-05 fits within a balanced diet and regular physical activity, and does not replace medical follow up.

Price and where to buy MA-05

MA-05 sells for 49.90 € for one month, instead of 59.90 €, with three month (139.90 €) and six month (269.90 €) formats offering better value. The code LMC20 adds 20% off.

The purchase is made directly on the official Cuure website, as a one off order or a flexible subscription. The brand also distributes its products through its network of partner pharmacies.

Precautions for use of MA-05

MA-05 is for adults only and contains 5 mg of caffeine per dose, supplied by the green tea extract. Cuure advises against it in case of pregnancy, breastfeeding or liver disorders.

It is also not recommended in case of medical treatment, in particular treatments for sleep or anxiety (sleeping pills, anxiolytics, sedatives), cardiovascular treatments and antidepressants. It must not be taken on an empty stomach, nor on the same day as another green tea based product, since EGCG intake should stay below 800 mg per day.

Like any food supplement, it does not replace a varied and balanced diet and is no substitute for medical advice. If in doubt or if you are on treatment, speak to your doctor or your pharmacist.

Guarantee and returns

Cuure applies the 14 day right of withdrawal provided for by law, on condition that the product is returned sealed and unopened. An unsealed pot is not taken back, which is the usual rule for food supplements.

My verdict on MA-05

MA-05 has the merit of a short, well dosed formula, with two patents at documented amounts. I like Cuure's transparent logic and the consistency of the three month protocol. Green tea stays discreet, and the price sits at the top of the market. I recommend it to people who want to support their metabolism seriously, without expecting an immediate miracle.
