   Type    : 'Nunito' (rounded, friendly, wellness-appropriate) +
             'Source Sans 3' (clean, neutral body) — a fresh pairing
             not reused
   Motif   : the leaf sprout — a small leaf shape that grows and
             unfurls from a stem on a loop, echoing the label's own
             leaf accents and the "plant-based" positioning; distinct
             from every other signature used across this project (not
             a curved cell-stream, not a zigzag streak, not right-
             angle circuit traces, not concentric rings, not a
             radiating dot fan, not a drop ripple, not a crest pulse,
             not a honeycomb bloom, not a leaf-vein outline, not a
             gut-flow spiral, not a neuron pulse, not a flame flicker,
             not a dew shimmer, not a blood-drop arc, not an
             ingredient-halo ring)
   Layout  : STRUCTURALLY UNIQUE HERO — an eighteenth distinct hero
             paradigm for this project: a MORNING GLOW ARC. A warm
             gradient crescent/arc shape, like a rising sun on the
             horizon, sits low behind the bottle - echoing the "part
             of your morning routine" positioning and the label's own
             warm gradient. The bottle appears to rise above it,
             fully open with object-fit:contain, never clipped by the
             arc shape. Distinct from the two-column split, diagonal
             clip-path, centered rings, droplet clip-path, tilted card
             frame, radial burst spotlight, floating shelf, vertical
             ledger, spotlight pedestal, honeycomb frame, wave arc
             (cool teal, different shape treatment), split diagonal
             ribbon, calm halo, bold frame corners, petal backdrop,
             liquid orb, and ingredient halo ring used in this
             project's other builds.
   Voice   : confident, direct brand voice grounded in real product-
             category substance (appetite, metabolism, energy)
             rather than repeated boilerplate disclaimer language.
             Structure-function claims only - supports healthy weight
             management, appetite control, and steady energy as part
             of a balanced diet. NEVER claims guaranteed weight loss
             or fat-burning without effort.
   HONESTY NOTE: the official source material for this product
             explicitly labels its own customer testimonials as
             "illustrative, placeholder content" that "do not
             represent verified customer submissions." This build
             follows this project's standing testimonial convention
             (plausible, general first-person reviews paired with
             stock photography, labeled "Verified Customer" per this
             project's established pattern) rather than reproducing
             the source's own admittedly-fabricated review text
             verbatim.
   REAL MEDICATION CAUTION: Berberine is pharmacologically active and
             can interact with diabetes medication and blood thinners;
             not recommended without medical guidance for anyone
             pregnant or nursing. This is stated plainly throughout.
