Luma Life Overview
Luma Life is a weight loss and detoxifying product that uses the popular ingredient acai berry in its formula.
The official Luma Life website is not very informative about the actual product, much of the one-page site being devoted to pictures of celebrities who they claim have dropped pounds through the use of anti-oxidants. Another section shows an impressive array of quotes from a variety of news media outlets such as CNN, NBC and 60 Minutes that mention the benefits of the anti-oxidant ‘superfoods’. In addition to this, Dr. Nicholas Perricone, proponent of anti-oxidants as a health and weight loss tool, is featured, although, like all the other quotes, no mention of Luma Life is actually made. It is simply an obvious attempt by the Luma Life manufacturers to give the impression of celebrity and media endorsement, a tactic used by many dubious weight loss companies.
No customer testimonials are featured for Luma Life and there is no FAQ section explaining how long the product should be used for, the dosage instructions or possible side effects. A ‘time limited’ free trial of the product is offered but the consumer must fill out the initial ordering form before receiving any information about the terms and conditions.
Details Of Luma Life
A list of ingredients is shown for Luma Life, but no product label is provided, making it impossible to know if any other substances are included in the capsules or the exact amounts of each ingredient.
Each ingredient is accompanied by a photo and an extremely brief description of how it functions. One of the key ingredients in Luma Life is Caralluma, an appetite suppressant which is combined with the anti-oxidants green tea and acai berry. Yerba Mate and Garcinia provide energy and increase the metabolism, burning body fat more efficiently, Hoodia, normally used as an appetite suppressant is included to fight ‘water weight’, Goji berries reduce stress levels and finally white kidney beans are added to help neutralize starch.
No clinical trials appear to have been performed on Luma Life or any of the individual ingredients. A very basic illustration shows how Luma Life works by preventing fat from being absorbed into the body but again, no tests are cited as proof.

Luma Life – The Bottom Line
Luma Life uses many of the same marketing tactics as many other questionable weight loss products and is unlikely to perform all the functions as claimed. The flashy, bright website full of pictures of Hollywood celebrities is employed to take away from the fact that very little real information is provided about the product. Consumers are lead to believe that these celebrities use Luma Life to lose weight when that is simply not the case.
At the time of writing, there are no independent consumer reports available for Luma Life, a relatively new product. Likewise, there are no reported complaints filed against the company yet although it must be noted that very often ‘auto-shipping’ programs can be very hard to cancel and are usually the cause of consumer grievances.
