Kyani Sunrise and Kyani Sunset

Below, we take an in-depth look at two products in the Kyani range, Kyani Sunrise and Kyani Sunset.

Kyani Sunrise and Kyani Sunset Overview

What you need to know about Kyani Sunrise and Kyani Sunset

We are not impressed by the business model that Kyani uses at all. They focus so heavily upon recruiting new consultants that they neglect to promote the actual products in their range. Customers have reported poor customer service once they have refused to join the company, and new recruits have reported that they felt mislead or cheated out of their money, and were charged each month for new products even if they were unable to sell them.

There are many independent distributers of Kyani products who make unfounded claims about the products, describing it as a miracle and a medicine. The majority of the many positive customer reviews we located are all written by distributers, who have a vested interest in promoting the company and the benefits of the products.

It is very difficult to track down information about the products that Kyani sell, but very easy to find out about their pay schemes, compensation plans and company bonuses such as cars and holidays.

As for the products themselves; whilst they contain a high dose of vitamins and minerals, the products do not appear to be targeted at any particular type of customer; they are marketed as a cure-all product. Kyani Sunrise and Kyani Sunset will most likely not aid weight loss, although they may benefit those who have vitamin deficiencies, and to mitigate the side effects associated with these deficiencies.

What are the side effects of Kyani Sunrise and Kyani Sunset?

There are several potential side effects, mostly involving the potential worsening of current health problems. Please see the Side Effects tab below for full details.

How much does Kyani Sunrise and Kyani Sunset cost?

Via amazon, a 30 day supply of Kyani Sunrise costs $52.00 with free shipping. Via amazon, a 30 day supply of Kyani Sunset costs $53.35 with free shipping. Other sellers offer these products at cheaper prices, but with high shipping costs that make the purchase more expensive overall.

Kyani Sunrise and Kyani Sunset Key Features

Kyani are an international company that sells a range of health improving supplements. The manufacturers of Kyani products, and the distributers that sell them, make a huge range of claims about the potency of their products; they claim that a combination of three of their products make up the Kyani Triangle of Health. These products, it is claimed, will ‘Defend, repair, and maintain every cell in your body.’ This article looks at two of the three products used in the Triangle of Health, Kyani Sunrise, and Kyani Sunset.

It appears that the company headquarters in based in Göteborg, Sweden, but there are national offices and contact details for many countries and areas. Contact details will vary depending upon the customer’s location, and customers may be instructed to contact their distributer directly, only contacting the parent company if the distributer is unable to help them.

Kyani put a lot more energy into recruiting more independent sales consultants by describing the benefits of their company than they do into describing or selling their actual products. This is not only inconvenient for the customer, but is also a red flag for the company operating under a Multi-Level Marketing Business Model that operates its recruitment process in a manner often compared to a pyramid scheme. This is supported by the numerous comments on the Kyani facebook page from customers and people who have been pressured to sign up as a distributer.

Kyani manufactures supplements, not medicines, and so potential customers should be incredibly cautious when listening to claims that these supplements prevent and treat illnesses. The company and its distributers are not legally allowed to make claims that their products act as a medicine, and yet regularly make statements to this effect.

The company stress the incredibly large amount of food that a person would need to eat to consume the amount of vitamins contained in these products, but do so in a misleading manner, usually by comparing the product to a food that is low in the vitamin they are discussing.

Whilst the products do contain a high level of vitamins and some minerals, there is little evidence that these products will cure illnesses or aid significant weight loss. Indeed, weight loss is one of the few claims that the manufacturers do not make about this product. Some of the ingredients could reduce inflammation, alter cortisol levels in the brain, and the high levels of anti-oxidants found in these fruits could benefit general health somewhat.

Omega 3 is a useful supplement to take, especially if the consumer dislikes eating fresh fish. However, we recommend sourcing vitamins and minerals from a varied and healthy diet, rather than continuing with a poor diet and depending upon a supplement to make up the difference. There are seemingly no benefits to taking Kyani Sunset over any other brand of fish oil or omega-3 supplement.

Does Kyani Sunrise and Kyani Sunset work?

Kyani Sunrise and Kyani Sunset Ingredients

The ingredients used in Kyani Sunrise and Kyani Sunset are provided below.

No ingredient quantities are provided for these products as they are proprietary formulas. The products contain vitamins and minerals, and so the quantities for these are listed, along with the percentage of the recommended daily allowance.

When considering the vitamins and minerals provided by these products, consumers should also consider that they will also consume these vitamins and minerals from other food sources; over supplementation of vitamins can lead to side effects, as we discuss below in more detail.

Kyani Sunrise

The ingredients for this supplement are listed below; the quantities of the vitamins and minerals appear to be what is present naturally in the fruit ingredients used in the product. Each daily serving of one pouch contains 41 calories, 9 grams of carbohydrates and 7 grams of sugar.

• Vitamin C 60 mg (100% RDA)
• Vitamin B1 (thiamine hydrochloride) 3 mg (200% RDA)
• Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) 3.4 mg (200% RDA)
• Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) 40 mg (200% RDA): Vitamin B3, or Niacin, is responsible for helping to produce energy from consumed food, as well as helping keep the nervous and digestive systems healthy. Niacin can be easily sourced in adequate amounts from a balanced diet. Persistent excessive consumption of niacin has been linked with increased rates of obesity in American children.

• Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine Hyrochloride) 4 mg (200% RDA): Vitamin B6 has several important functions in the body, including ‘allowing the body to use and store energy from protein and carbohydrates in food’. Whilst taking excess amounts of vitamin B6 will not infinitely improve this ability, a deficiency could make it more difficult to lose weight.

• Folate (Folic Acid) 0.4mg (100% RDA)
• Vitamin B12 (cyanocobolamin) 0.2 mg (3333% RDA): Vitamin B12 is naturally present in many foods, primarily meat, fish and dairy products. It has several roles, including aiding in releasing energy from consumed food, and keeping the nervous system healthy. It may be that a deficiency hinders weight loss, but taking excess amounts could be, according to the NHS, potentially harmful.

• D-Biotin 0.6 mg (200% RDA)
• Vitamin B5 (calcium d-pantothenate) 20 mg (200% RDA)
• Taurine 1000 mg: Used often in energy drinks, some studies suggest that this amino acid may play a role in athletic performance, meaning that it is only useful for dieters who exercise. There is no link between Taurine and weight loss known at this time.

• L-Theanine 50 mg: This amino acid is found in green tea, and may play a small role in weight loss, as well as increasing feelings of relaxation. It may also reduce the negative side effects of caffeine, although there is seemingly no clinical evidence to support this claim.

• Pomegranate Extract
• Cranberry Extract
• Acai Fruit Extract: A berry that has been wrongly hyped up as a weight-loss super-food, Acai berry use in diet pills has rocketed in recent years. Acai berry is high in Anthocyanins, antioxidants which may help to protect the body against cancer, inflammation, aging, neurological diseases, diabetes, and bacterial infections. However, any claims that it aids weight loss are unproven, and its benefits to general health are also under-researched.

• Amla Berry Extract
• Maquiberry Concentrate
• Ashwaganda Extract: This plant is thought to lower cortisol levels in the brain and body. Cortisol is a hormone produced during moments of stress, which has been associated with increasing weight gain, therefore making weight loss more difficult.

Kyani Sunrise and Kyani Sunset Side Effects

One concern we have with Kyani Sunrise is the enormous dose of vitamin B12 that it contains; a single serving contains 3,333% of a person’s RDA for the vitamin. The mayo clinic states that ‘Vitamin B12 is likely safe when taken according to the recommended dietary amounts (RDA) or less’ but recommends that B12 supplements should be used cautiously in many cases as over-supplementation can worsen some health problems. These include high blood pressure, cancer, gout, skin disorders, heart concerns, gastrointestinal problems.

Kyani Sunrise is also a significant source of sugar, with each daily serving containing 7 grams of sugar. Women should consume 25 grams of sugar or less per day, according to current nutritional guidelines, and so this should be factored into their daily nutritional intake. Diabetics should also be cautious when taking this product, and consult their doctor if they have any concerns about their use of the product.

Fish oil supplements such as Kyani Sunset can cause indigestion and gas. Customers have also reported having fishy breath. These supplements can also make bleeding more likely for people who have a bleeding disorder or those who take medications that could increase the chances of bleeding.

Kyani Sunrise and Kyani Sunset Customer Feedback

There are hundreds of Kyani customer reviews located around the internet, but many of them seem to be written by people who have signed up as a distributer of the products. These reviews are not independent, and are heavily biased, with distributers making huge claims about the products in order to push sales.

Tried this. These people who are saying they’re losing weight, helps with inflammation, etc. I feel are just people trying to push sales. I tried it and still had inflammation in my knees, my grandma also tried it and says it didn’t make her feel any better or worse. Her arthritis was still making her miserable. I only tried for 2 weeks, grandma stopped taking them after about a month and a half. I’d be weary about some of these reviews

There are some customer reviews on amazon, one of the many locations where Kyani distributers are selling the products. Below are some of the customer reviews for Kyani Sunrise:

Great stuff. Use it daily. Was able to lose weight without losing energy and lacking the minerals I need daily.

I love the product – but they add shipping and tax to the price. If you are a member you only pay $35.95 for bottle and $42.95. Become a KyaniMembers, hope this helps.

Below are some of the amazon customer reviews for Kyani Sunset.

I had high hopes for this product but honestly I didn’t think it was any better or worse than any other Omega 3 supplement. I suppose the big difference is that this one costs a heck of a lot more than some other companies that produce quality supplements. Oh, and this one also gave me “fish burps” unlike the supplements I usually take. So, overall I’m not impressed. Certainly not impressed enough to buy it again…or try any of Kyani’s other products.

No improvement seen in health or comfort. One more of the Health Hype products.

Where To Buy Kyani Sunrise and Kyani Sunset

Kyani products cannot be purchased directly from the company, and the official website refuses to provide an official price list, which allows for Kyani representatives to market the product however they like. There are literally hundreds of online stores that sell Kyani products, and there are many more Kyani distributers that do not have an online presence.

Via amazon, a 30 day supply of Kyani Sunrise costs $52.00 with free shipping. Via amazon, a 30 day supply of Kyani Sunset costs $53.35 with free shipping. Other sellers offer these products at cheaper prices, but with high shipping costs that make the purchase more expensive overall.

It also appears that customers who order through a kyani distributer can sign up to an autoship program for a discount. We strongly advise that autoship programs are avoided, as they can be difficult to cancel, are easy to forget about, and can end up being more expensive in the long run, especially when the consumer has numerous unwanted products.

Watchdog Verdict

There are seemingly no benefits to taking Kyani Sunset over any other brand of fish oil or omega-3 supplement.

The products sold by Kyani are incredibly expensive; if customers wanted to use the Kyani Triangle of Health, they could expect to pay $150 per month or perhaps even more, depending upon the individual distributer they order through.

In our opinion, this high cost is not worth the benefits of the Kyani range. We believe that it is better to overhaul your diet, and if needs be consult your doctor for a vitamin deficiency test, rather than to spend so much money on products that are manufactured by a company run as a pyramid scheme. We do not recommend Kyani Sunrise or Kyani Sunset to our readers, and heavily encourage them to avoid Kyani Inc in general.
