Obvi Review: Obvious Choice on Everything Collagen?

Whether you’re nearing the big 3-0 or a wisdom-filled 65 years-old, at some point you may begin to observe changes in your body—on the outside. Before you cringe, I feel you. Maybe your hair doesn’t feel as silky smooth anymore or your nails no longer grow like horse hooves. Perhaps your skin is just missing that stellar glow and makes you feel cosmically dreary. Whatever the reason for these changes, we’ve all likely heard of those souls who proclaim that collagen is the solution to all dullness qualms. But there are hundreds of brands out there promising the same age-reversing gift of collagen– how do we truly know which brands are sourced from safe, reputable sources to ensure safety as the consumer and efficacy as a seeker of wellness?

About Obvi

Obviously title aside, Obvi offers more an extensive array of flavorful collagen options and a broad selection of weight loss (Collagenic Burn!), daily health and immunity supplements, gummies, snacks, and chic merchandise to approach your wellness goals with style.

Duh, let’s find the answer (Obvi).  

Story of Obvi

Founded by Ronak Shah, Ash Melwani, and Ankit Patel, these three age-defying musketeers sought out “to make supplements feel younger—by making supplements feel younger, we made people feel that way!” Quite a bold statement, but one of Obvi’s most popular products sold, the Collagenic Burn, has over 15 million servings to date!

Obvi’s formulation are patented with weight loss ingredients such as Innobio® and Bioperine® (check out the ingredients section below) that are stated to help you burn fat and keep your appetite at a normal baseline. All of Obvi’s Super Collagen products also include the 5 most important (out of a total 28 most common collagens) collagen types to support luscious, supple, glowing skin, hair, and nails. Featured in Forbes, Business Insider, Vogue, and Buzzfeed to name a few, let’s see if Obvi is, truly, the obvious go-to for all your collagen needs

The Yummy Deets – Ingredients & Flavors

Obvi’s products state that they are easy to digest, support joint mobility, boost bone health, curb appetite, aid skin elasticity, and thicken hair—a lot of promises in a single package of collagen. They deem to include their collagen formula to include “5 other vitamins and minerals that different brands don’t bother with—that’s our secret weapon.” Let’s see if we can find which magical ingredients are included Obvi’s collagens and weight management products.

Obvi Super Collagen Protein Review

Obvi’s Super Collagen Protein powder comes in over 16 unique flavors—all containing the same amount of collagen and vitamin goodness. Each $39.99 per bottle (approximately 30 days of product) or $33.99 with Autoship, Obvi Super Collagen Protein comes in a powder formulation, containing only a total of 9g protein, 40 calories, 1g carbohydrate, and 1g of sugar per serving.

What about the skin-saving star ingredients? Obvi contains 10g of collagen peptides and while it is not explicitly stated in the ingredients or product description of what type of collagen peptides are included, we can assume that it is also Type I, II, III, V, and X as listed in the Collagenic Burn (see below!). What about the other key wellness components of Super Collagen Protein? Check it out:

Biotin:

While biotin, a B vitamin, plays a vital role in the production of glucose and fatty acid to help provide us with energy throughout a fasting state, biotin plays an essential role in the production of keratin—a component of our skin’s outermost layer that is protective. ^(2,3,4) Beyond that, keratin is the protein that establishes the “backbone”, if you will, of your hair, skin, and nails. In fact, there are a total of 54 keratins in the body! Majority are type I which compose skin cells and type II, which help establish healthy strong hair and nails. Obvi does not state which types of biotins are included in their formulations. ^(2,3)

Collagen Peptides:

Not to be confused with biotin, which is a vitamin, collagen is an actual protein that composes the strong structure of the extracellular matrix in your skin. As we age, the production of collagen slows down. ⁽⁴⁾  In the human body, there are approximately 28 types of collagens with the most influential being: Type I, II, III, V, and X. Obvi does not include the types in their Super Collagen Protein formulation on label but check out the Collagenic Burn “Collagen Peptides” section to learn more about these vitamin proteins. ⁽⁵⁾

Vitamin C:

Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant to free radicals caused by UV rays and environmental pollutants. Beyond that, when paired with collagen, vitamin C helps stabilize the collagen structure for maximum skin integrity. In fact, vitamin C storage is highest intracellularly that any other region of the body! Obvi seems to have known enough about the vital importance of adding vitamin C into their collagen formulations. Well done, Obvi. ⁽⁶⁾

Vitamin E:

Vitamin E offers a potent antioxidant property as well as anti-inflammatory benefits.  Why we care? With vitamin E’s stellar ability to rid of free radicals, there is a lessening chance of cellular damage that could, in conjunction with years long exposure to UV rays, lead to cancer-forming tendencies. ⁽⁷⁾

What About Flavorings?

Obvi wants to reach each of their customer’s favorite tastings. Get ready for your inner child to squeal:

Obvi Collagenic Burn Review

In addition to Biotin as in the Super Collagen Protein, Obi Collagenic Burn also contains vitamin B12 for optimized energy levels, the essential mineral, chromium, for regulation of insulin and magensium for optimum bone health. ^{(12, 13)}  Each $39.99 per bottle (approximately 30 days of product) or $33.99 with Autoship, collagen supplementation just became more affordable compared to many competitors. Obvi calls their Collagenic Burn the “Collagen infused thermogenic fat burner.” Phew, quite the title! Does it hold up to its name? Obvi states this the world’s first and only thermogenic fat burner with the added benefit of collagen. Okay, so what is a thermogenic fat burner, exactly? Obvi denotes this to be composed of two parts:

Obvi Thermogenic Fat Burner Review

Conjugated Linoleic Acid:

150mg per serving, abbreviated at “CLA”, this is a fatty acid that is believed to reduce your total fat content by reducing the number of fat cells and breaking fat down in general. ⁽⁵⁾ Although the exact mechanism is unknown, it also believed to influence how the body handles fat management, changing one’s overall body composition and metabolism for the better. ⁽⁸⁾

Green Tea Extract:

400mg of green tea per serving. Green tea (Camellia sinesis) has been known for its anticancer and antiinflammatory properties, but when it comes to metabolic influences, green tea contains a molecule called catechins is postulated to have some influence on metabolic rate in some studies. ⁽⁹⁾

Cayenne Pepper Fruit Extract:

130 mg per serving, capsaicin, a molecule within cayenne pepper, is believed to bind to a receptor that causes a molecular reaction to release fat in the form of heat—who knew that pain of hot peppers could have a not-so-painful but beneficial effect in Obvi’s Collagenic Burn? ⁽⁵⁾

Obvi Multi Collagen Matrix I, II, III, V, and X Review

1000mg per serving, this matrix of collagens is sourced from hydrolyzed bovine peptides, bovine bone broth collagen, hydrolyzed fish collagen, check bone broth, and eggshell membrane collagen. Not all collagens are created equally in terms of their function, but each are as vital as the other. Let’s quickly run through the role of each type of collagen:

Type I: This is the mecca of all collagens; approximately 90% of collagens are this in your body. Can you think of what this might compose of, then? Think: bones, tendons, skin, and those tough ligaments. ⁽¹⁰⁾  Super vital to everything that keeps our bodies together! Literally.

Type II: Type II supports the structures created by Type I collagen by building strong, resilient elastic cartilage. (10)

Type III: This collagen resides in organs, arteries (blood vessels), and muscle tissue. ⁽¹⁰⁾

Type V: A unique player in all this collagen, Type V creates the thin layer that lays over your eyes, contributes to hair health, and even the placenta in a pregnancy woman—our human body is so beautifully complicated! ⁽¹⁰⁾

Type X:  This type of collagen is vital for building bone properly; laying the cartilaginous foundation down first before bone builds (think of Type X as the “primer” for bone growth!). ⁽¹¹⁾

Obvi Collagenic Burn comes in capsule form and powder formulation, coming in Fruit Punch, Peach Rings, and Blue Raspberry.

Obvi Reviews – What Other Customer Think

With the ingredients reviewed, you likely have an idea whether you feel Obvi is your best choice of collagen supplementation. Of course, it’s always helpful to know what verified customers have shared in their personal experiences. Let’s take a peek at some Obvi reviews:

Michelle shares how often she takes the Collagenic Burn daily to notice a difference:

“Love the energy I get!! Only started taking 2 a day been taking for two weeks and just now increased it to four a day!! Have already seen and feel the difference!”

In her Obvi Review, Kim shares the effect Collagenic Burn on her daily cravings:

“I am new at this and excited for my new journey, have already taken it for (3) days and I am not even feeling any of the “snacky” cravings. Am HOOKED.”

Amazing to know that, perhaps, the green tea and CLA is actually curving those afternoon cravings by altering—for the better—daily cravings.

Another Obvi Review by a customer Diana states:

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Obvi! It has started me on an amazing health journey and it is one of my everyday (3 times a day!) key ingredients to meals or snacks. My hair and skin are literally glowing! I’m 45 and people are always shocked when I tell them my age! My secret is Obvi! It doesn’t hurt too, that I’ve lost 10 lbs since starting my Obvi journey. Combined with Burn, it’s my new secret weapon against aging!!!”

What an incredible success story for this woman. It seems consistency is key when it comes to the use of Obvi products. One customer even mentioned how it healed her eczema:

“Love the taste, texture, and benefits of this collagen! It’s helped my eczema 🙂 the super food tastes ok, but not as good as the collagen or kids protein I’ve tried. I’m not sure if I’ve seen any benefits of the super food, but my hair is so soft and my nails are growing fast and strong with the collagen!”

Now that is an ultimate win-win. Holistic nutrition that not only tastes good but heals from the inside out.

In another Obvi review, loyal customer, Lisa, shares that, although she hasn’t experienced any weight loss, her energy levels have improved:

“I haven’t lost any weight but the energy I get from them are the best I take them everyday 2x a day well worth to try for yourself.”

It’s worth mentioning that everybody is truly unique. So, with some Obvi reviews that were less-than-stellar, or for even Lisa, who didn’t notice any difference in weight, we all know there are multiple factors that go into weight management. One single product won’t create a truly notable effect solely. You know, balance is the name of the game when it comes to weight management.
