Old School
Overview
Samir Bannout Lava 196 aims to enhance fat burning and energy levels through a combination of stimulant, amino acid, and herbal ingredients. The use of a proprietary blend for most ingredients makes it difficult to ascertain whether effective dosages are being used. Some ingredients have preliminary evidence, while others lack strong support, so overall effectiveness is questionable.
