Akavar

Akavar 20/50 is an over-the-counter weight-loss supplement manufactured by Dynakor Pharmacal. Akavar was recently released for sale in the United States in July 2007 and is sold in retail stores such as Wal-Mart and GNC, and also online directly from its manufacturer.

Although many marketing claims promise rapid, guaranteed results "or your money back," information regarding how Akavar works and what makes it effective is not readily available. Akavar purportedly assists in weight loss through caloric intake restriction.

Akavar is marketed as a "European Breakthrough" in part because the blend of ingredients are based on government patents in Europe.

"Eat All You Want and Still Lose Weight" is the tagline for the product based on the manufacturer's reported "studies" that due to the caloric restrictor capabilities of Akavar you will still lose weight and be able to eat all you want.

The "scientific research" done on Akavar 20/50 consists of 24 people taking Akavar over a period of time without changing their diet or increasing their excercise. Nearly 100% of the participants, 23 of the 24 people lost weight using Akavar. Dynakor Pharmacal, Akavar's manufacturer, now markets these results and claims that you can "eat all you want and still lose weight." PR Release

Many of Dynakor Pharmacal's competition such as Hoodia & Ephedrine based products have tried to dispel any Akavar claims and have even set up many anti-akavar websites.
