Colvera |
 |
Introduction & Overview |
Colvera is described as a “natural Collagen Protein Formula.” This dietary supplement is advertised to promote weight loss, improve stamina and enhance sleep. There are many weight loss products on the market that promise to burn fat, but few also claim to improve sleeping habits. We find this aspect rather unique, but also wonder how one dietary supplement may successfully perform both functions.
This product is marketed by the company Virodyne Research, which says to have over 7 years of experience in the health and supplement field. This company provides a product website for this supplement that interested consumers may visit for additional information.

| Products Formula |
This supplement has one active ingredient, said to be Collagen Protein. The manufacturer also lists the inactive ingredients, which are Aloe Vera and Vegetable Glycerin.
We wish to note that the source of the Collagen Protein ingredient is not mentioned, but we suspect it is an animal source. Not only may this ingredient be possibly unsuitable for vegetarians, but due to fears over animal related diseases, some individuals may not like the idea of using a product without first knowing the exact source of an active Collagen ingredient.

| Formula In Depth |
While Collagen-based supplements are currently popular, there has yet to be any evidence to indicate that this weight loss method actually works. They are said to be incomplete proteins that offer little health benefits, and are unlikely to burn fat. This company says that users of this supplement may lose weight without strenuous exercise and without giving up their favorite foods. Based on the formula, we find this unlikely. Also, we wish to note that regular exercise and a healthy diet have been repeatedly proven to generate weight loss.
Collagen is also often used in topical creams, as in Aloe Vera. There is belief that Collagen-based creams may provide anti-aging benefits, such as firmer, plumper looking skin. However, again, its effect on weight loss has not been verified with any conclusive research.

| Cost |
A one-month supply of this product sells for around $59.99, which we find to be far too much to pay for this formula or any weight loss supplement. While this product seems overpriced, the company offers discounts for bulk purchases. Those who do not mind making a larger, initial commitment may save money.
There are no money-back guarantees or free samples offered by this company. This may be frustrating, especially since these benefits are often indicative of a company’s trust in their supplement. Some people are not comfortable buying a product that does not come with a money-back guarantee.

| Conclusion |
As detailed above, this supplement’s formula may not be powerful enough to provide pleasing weight loss results. Though, those who do not mind the possible animal sources may appreciate the source of Protein.
However, we have to suggest that consumers may wish to look into a supplement with the South African herb Hoodia Gordonii, especially those who are serious about weight loss. This herb has been proven to suppress the appetite, and ultimately may be more successful in decreasing body mass than Collagen-based supplements. There are many trustworthy companies that offer free trial samples, as well as dependable customer service.
