Obvi is a dietary supplement manufacturer that sells a product called Collagenic Burn. The product is marketed as a weight loss and beauty supplement in one.

But does Obvi Collagenic Burn contain an effective collagen dose for anti-aging? Does it have ingredients that are shown in research studies to cause weight loss? Does it have any unhealthy ingredients? And is the Elite version more likely to be effective?

In this article we’ll answer all of these questions and more, as we analyze the ingredients in Obvi Collagenic Burn to give our take on whether or not this supplement is likely to be effective for skin quality and weight loss, and whether or not it's healthy.

We'll also analyze the formulation of Obvi Collagenic Burn Elite to give our take on which is a better option, and compare Obvi to other popular weight loss supplement brands like SkinnyFit to pick our winners.

Key takeaways:

• Contains some effectively-dosed ingredients for weight loss
• Contains four ingredients we consider unhealthy
• We do not currently recommend Obvi Collagenic Burn

Ingredient Analysis

Obvi Collagenic Burn contains a large number of active ingredients, so we’re breaking our Ingredient Analysis into two sections.

The vitamin and mineral ingredients are shown below:

Chromium is a mineral that’s been associated in research studies with weight loss, although “the magnitude of the effect is small” according to a medical review published in the Obesity Reviews journal.

Obvi provides 457% of the Daily Value (DV) of chromium, and it may be unsafe to take such a high mineral dose for extended periods of time. We’d certainly recommend consulting with a doctor before doing so.

Biotin is frequently used to promote hair growth, although clinical studies suggest that it has no effects in non-deficient adults.

We can’t find any clinical evidence backing the other two vitamins and minerals in this blend for either skin or weight optimization, nor does Obvi cite any on their product page.

The remaining active ingredients in this formulation are shown below:

Collagen is included at a total dose of 1 gram (g).

As we documented in our Native Path Collagen reviews article, a meta-study we analyzed suggests the effective dosing range of collagen to be between 2.5 g and 10 g daily.

We consider the dose in Obvi to be underdosed for skin quality improvement.

Green tea extract is effective for weight loss, but is an ingredient consumers should be cautious of in our opinion.

A review published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology described green tea extract as a "potential cause of acute liver failure."

CLA is another likely effective ingredient for weight loss with a questionable safety profile.

As we documented in our Night Shred reviews article, this ingredient is clinically shown to increase insulin resistance and cause oxidative stress at the dose required to cause weight loss.

Raspberry ketone was shown in an animal study to cause weight loss, but at an equivalent dose much higher than that in Obvi’s supplement.

The inactive ingredients in Obvi Collagenic Burn are shown below:

We apologize for the low quality of this image; it's the image published by the brand.

Titanium dioxide is an inactive ingredient that was banned in the EU for use as a food additive over toxicity concerns. The EU has superior consumer protections in our opinion than the US.

Overall, we consider Obvi Collagenic Burn somewhat likely to be effective for weight loss given the inclusion of green tea extract and CLA.

We do not currently recommend this supplement for health reasons, due to our concerns over chromium, CLA, green tea extract and titanium dioxide.

Obvi vs. Popular Weight Loss Supps

Here's how Obvi Collagenic Burn stacks up against other popular weight loss supplements in terms of both potential effectiveness and healthiness, in our opinion:

SkinnyFit

Another popular collagen weight loss brand, SkinnyFit sells a supplement called Super Youth that contains collagen and is marketed for weight loss and skin quality.

While there are inactive ingredients in Super Youth we consider unhealthy, it has no active ingredients we take issue with, as we documented in our SkinnyFit review article.

Winner: SkinnyFit

Burn XT

Contains research-backed active ingredients for weight loss and non-toxic inactive ingredients.

Like Obvi Collagenic Burn, contains green tea extract which we generally recommend avoiding, but this is the only ingredient that we disagree with in the Burn XT formulation.

Winner: Burn XT

Olly Metabolism Gummies

Contains chromium at a relatively high dose, which is questionable in our opinion, because chromium at high doses is documented to cause toxicity.

However, we consider green tea extract to be a greater health issue, because we've come across vastly more case studies of green tea extract-induced toxicity than chromium toxicity.

Winner: Olly Metabolism Gummies

Collagenic Burn Elite Review

The active ingredients in Obvi Collagenic Burn Elite are shown below:

Multi-collagen matrix is included at the same total dose.

The remaining active ingredients are included in a proprietary blend, which we always consider a negative for consumers, because it fails to list the dose of each active ingredient.

Coconut oil powder is the only unique active ingredient in this formulation, and we can't find any evidence it supports weight loss at the relatively low average ingredient dose in this blend (123 mg).

The inactive ingredients in Obvi Collagenic Burn Elite, shown below, should be safe and non-toxic:

Overall, we consider Obvi Collagenic Burn Elite to be a worse option from a potential effectiveness standpoint, but slightly healthier due to the lack of synthetic vitamins and minerals, CLA and titanium dioxide.

Our Clean Weight Loss Picks

Ceylon cinnamon was described as "an effective anti-obesity agent" in a 2022 meta-analysis. The study authors concluded that effects were greater at doses at or over 3 grams daily.

Illuminate Labs Ceylon Cinnamon Extract is our standardized Ceylon cinnamon supplement which is third-party tested to ensure purity and potency.

Dietary fiber was shown in a medical review published in The Journal of Nutrition to cause 16 pounds of weight loss in 6 months when combined with moderate caloric restriction (750 calories per day below baseline).

MBG Organic Fiber Potency+ is our top fiber pick because it's certified organic, provides 7 g of fiber per serving and costs under $1.85 per serving at the time of updating this article.

Both of the products mentioned in this section are free of ingredients that we consider to be unhealthy.

Obvi Collagenic Burn Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Collagen has significant research backing
• Effective CLA dose for weight loss
• Effective green tea extract dose for weight loss
• Effective chromium dose for weight loss
• Likely to cause weight loss in our opinion

Cons:

• Doesn’t appear clinically tested
• Contains titanium dioxide
• Mediocre customer reviews
• Brand website charges for shipping
• High chromium dose may be inadvisable long-term
• CLA has questionable health effects
• Green tea extract has questionable health effects

Conclusion

Obvi Collagenic Burn is more impressive as a fat burner than a skincare product in our opinion.

There are no ingredients in this formulation that we consider effectively dosed for improving skin quality after a review of clinical research.

There are several ingredients we consider effectively dosed for weight loss, including green tea extract and CLA, that are clinically shown to have questionable health effects in some individuals.

There are four ingredients in this supplement that we recommend avoiding from a health perspective, and therefore we do not currently recommend Obvi Collagenic Burn.

This supplement does not appear to be clinically tested.

We consider Obvi Collagenic Burn Elite to be slightly healthier because it's free of CLA and titanium dioxide, but we don't recommend either supplement.
