Obvi Collagenic Burn Review: Overhyped?

Obvi Collagenic Burn Review: Overhyped?

Read our Editorial Guidelines to learn more about what makes our site the premier resource for online health information.

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 skin? Does it have ingredients that are shown in research studies to cause weight loss? Does it have any questionable additives? And how do real users rate and describe the effects of this supplement?

In this article we’ll answer all of these questions and more, as we analyze the ingredients in Obvi Collagenic Burn based on medical studies to give our take on whether or not this supplement is likely to be effective for beauty and weight loss, or if it’s a waste of money.

We’ll feature unsponsored customer reviews of the brand, and provide a cost comparison to show which retailer sells Obvi for the best price.

Ingredient Analysis

Obvi vitamin and mineral ingredients

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 above.

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:

Obvi other active ingredients

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 came across suggests the effective dosing range of collagen to be between 2.5 g and 10 g daily.

Taking any substantial supplemental collagen could benefit the skin, but again we can’t find research proving so at this low of a daily dose, nor does Obvi cite any on their product page.

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.

We can’t find any clinical backing for the remaining active ingredients at their stated doses.

Overall, we’re unconvinced that Obvi Collagenic Burn will improve skin quality, but we do believe this supplement is likely to cause weight loss given its effectively-dosed inclusions of CLA and green tea extract.

We don’t currently recommend this supplement due to our concerns over some of its active ingredients highlighted in this section.

We’re also confused by the lack of an inactive ingredient list on Obvi’s Supplement Facts label.

Perhaps this supplement contains no inactive ingredients, but the color of the pills is a bright pink (at least in the brand’s website imagery), and we’re unsure how they would achieve the color or the encapsulation material without inactive ingredients.

We urge Obvi to clarify whether there are inactive ingredients in this formulation, and if there are, to publish them on the product’s Supplement Facts label. This is a consumer safety issue.

But how do real customers rate and describe the effects of Obvi Collagenic Burn? We’ll feature some unsponsored customer reviews in the next section of this article.

Real People Try Obvi

Our Clean Weight Loss Picks

There are food-based nutrients which have been shown in medical studies to be effective for weight loss.

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).

Supergut Fiber Mix is our recommended fiber supplement, because it contains three different types of fiber powder and no questionable additive ingredients. Interested consumers can check out Supergut Fiber Mix at this link to the product page on the brand's official website, where it retails for under $2 per serving at a subscription rate.

MCT oil is quickly absorbed by the body and increases metabolic rate, which causes fat loss. A 2015 meta-study on MCT oil documented more than one pound of weight loss over 10 weeks. This equates to potential annualized weight loss of 6 pounds per year with less than one tablespoon's worth of MCT oil per day.

Bulletproof MCT Oil is our top MCT oil product, because the only ingredient is MCT oil derived from coconuts. There are no questionable additives. Interested consumers can check out Bulletproof MCT Oil at this link to the product page on the brand's official website, where it currently costs only $15.50 for over a month's worth of product.

Coffee is one of the few whole food ingredients associated with weight loss in clinical trials. A meta-analysis published in the Nutrients journal found that coffee intake was associated with reduced body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference.

VitaCup Organic Instant Coffee Sticks is our top coffee product for weight loss, due to its convenience. No preparation or machinery is needed. The sticks can be mixed into hot or cold water (or other beverages) and consumed. The only ingredient is organic instant coffee; no questionable additives.

Interested consumers can check out VitaCup Organic Instant Coffee Sticks at this link to the product page on the brand's official website, where they retail for $1 per serving at a subscription rate.

Does Collagen Even Improve Skin Quality?

A board-certified dermatologist and YouTube creator named “Dr Dray” has a video on whether or not collagen works that has over 650,000 views:

Real Customers Review Obvi

Amazon is a better resource for honest customer reviews than a brand’s website in our opinion.

Obvi’s supplement has been reviewed over 3,700 times on Amazon, with an average customer review rating of 3.7 out of 5 stars.

The top positive review from a verified purchaser is written by a user named “Chris Harris” who gives the supplement a 4 out of 5 star rating and claims it caused weight loss:

“Most noticeable difference since taking them is weight loss. I can't exercise due to back and joint issues. I haven't changed my diet at all. By time I had gotten through my 2nd bottle I realized I had lost 10 lbs.”

The top negative review from a verified purchaser comes from a user named “Shellie Wesley” who gives the supplement a 1 out of 5 star rating and suggests it caused weight gain:

“Very disappointed in product. Exercised regularly, watched what I ate. Took as directed and actually gained weight. Skin got worse instead of better. Do not recommend!!”

Obvi currently has an average customer review rating of 1.65 out of 5 stars on the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website.

More concerning than the average low rating (which is common on that website) is the fact that the brand has failed to respond to every new customer complaint on the first page of complaints at the time of publishing this article. 

Some of these complaints were published all the way back in 2021.

We consider it a red flag when a company fails to even attempt to resolve customer complaints.

Collagenic Burn has an average review rating of only 3.9 out of 5 stars even on the brand’s official website at the time of publishing this article, although this does at least suggest legitimacy of the review process.
