Colvera Review

What You Should Know

Colvera is made by Virodyne, a company that has focused on “providing quality natural supplements you can trust” for the past six years. This product makes numerous claims as to its health benefits. Beyond losing the unwanted pounds without muscle loss, Colvera can also increase energy and stamina, reduce wrinkles and age spots and promote an overall sense of well being. Some websites even state that it might help users sleep better! This seems to be a tall order for one little diet supplement, but we will explore the active ingredient further to see if it can really deliver on all of its promises.

The Colvera website does say that if you exercise “a little bit each week” and “eliminate a few high calorie foods from your diet” you can lose even more weight. While we appreciate the reference to diet and exercise (proven weight loss methods), we believe that more emphasis could be placed on a consistent diet and regular exercise program for maximum benefits. It is also said that Colvera should be taken on an empty stomach right before bed. Any supplement that recommends replacing food with a supplement should be used with caution, since many have experienced negative health effects trying this approach to dieting.

List of Ingredients

We were unable to find a complete ingredient list on the product website. The active ingredient in Colvera is collagen hydrolysate, which is said to assist the body in shedding fat, sugar and toxins. Collagen is an important substance in our bodies that supports the health of our muscles, joints and connective tissue, and keeps your skin soft and supple. However, clinical evidence that collagen is an effective weight loss substance is fuzzy at best at the time of this review.

It should be noted that the collagen is derived from animal and fish protein, but the company does not offer the specific ingredient sources. This might be a concern, since animal diseases affecting meat have been increasing, and also since some potential users could have allergies to marine life such as shellfish. It is also concerning that a complete ingredient list could not be found for Colvera, since many need to know precisely what is in a formula to prevent allergies and interactions with other medications.

Product Features

This product comes in capsule form, which is taken on an empty stomach before bed. At the time of this review, a one month supply runs about $60 and discounts for bulk purchases were offered on the product website. There are also customer testimonials listed on the site, but we were unable to find information about any sort of money back guarantee. Clinical studies cited on the use of collagen pertained to many conditions, but did not refer specifically to weight loss.

Advantages

  • Collagen is a natural substance produced by the body.
  • The product has no reported side effects.

Disadvantages

  • A complete ingredient list could not be found.
  • There is not sufficient evidence to support collagen as a weight loss ingredient, especially when taken orally.
  • The source of the collagen protein is not specified.

Conclusion

Colvera appears to be a safe supplement, although the formula may not be potent enough to provide real results. If you are taking any other medications or have a chronic condition, talk to your doctor before trying this product.

**Our Top Weight Loss Choice**

Top Choice for 2009: Avesil

Avesil is clearly the most promising weight control formula we know of on the market. After looking at hundreds of different purported weight loss supplements, Avesil was the most rigorously researched one that we could find. The foundation behind the Avesil formula was an original scientific research study that incorporated an incredible 284 previously published peer-reviewed clinical studies, many conducted in university research labs. All of the product claims made about Avesil are substantiated by this large volume of research.

Unlike many fad weight loss ingredients (hoodia, acai berry, etc.) which are at best supported by folklore and at worst by pop culture, Avesil is totally rooted in disciplined scientific study. In fact, two research trials conducted on human subjects, later published in highly respected scientific journals, concluded that the primary ingredients in Avesil resulted in an average weight loss of more than 3 times that of a healthy diet and exercise alone.

Customers will notice that the claims made about Avesil are quite reasonable and not the least far-fetched. Simply put, Avesil is a safe, healthy way to promote a significant increase in weight loss when taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise. In today's market there is a shamefully high number of consumers who have been deceived by outrageous "no work" promises, manufactured customer testimonials and bogus before/after pictures used by so many marketers of weight loss supplements. Avesil promises to deliver healthy, reasonable, and significant weight loss benefits - all offered through the process of a risk-free trial, leaving customers with very little to lose (other than weight).
