Akavar 20/50, a “European Weight-Loss Breakthrough,” has hefty claims and lofty promises.  They claim that you can eat all you want, not exercise, take their little pill, and you’ll still lose weight.  According to them, “Akävar-20/50 is the only weight-loss compound that works automatically. There is absolutely no need to count calories, no need to consciously lower your caloric intake, no need for expensive, pre-measured meals… and no need to give up your favorite foods!”  Hmmm sounds like a miracle right?  Well it also sounds like a bunch of hype.

We’ll get to the ‘European’ part later, but for now lets take a look at the product.

Ingredients

• ???

Nowhere on their site do they list the ingredients at all.  Does this seem extremely shady to anyone else besides me?  They claim that the “secret is the formula.”  Well how can have any confidence at all that it works if we don’t know what ingredients it uses.  I don’t know about you, but I’d like to know what I’m putting inside my body.  For all we know it could be a sugar pill.

Akavar 20/50’s Marketing

So it turns out that Akavar 20/50 is actually made by Basic Research, a super shady company that has been fined by the FTC (never a good sign) and that has used very dishonest marketing for their other products (such as using the same formula for two different diet pills and charging people $80 for one and $150 for the other).  Well Basic Research is based in the US.  So as far as their “European” spin on the product, it’s nothing but a lie.  A boldface lie.  Isn’t your confidence in Akavar just going through the roof here?

Aside from that, they “quote” some study that was done “proving” its effectivenss.  And yet, they fail to cite the study at all so that anyone can verify that the study even happened let alone had those claimed results.  Anyone can write up a fake study, don’t be fooled by it.

Akavar 20/50’s Price

$39.99 for one bottle.  Since you have no clue what you’re getting until after you have bought the product, $1 is too much for this product.

Akavar 20/50’s Gaurantee

They have a 30 day guarantee.  1.  This is a pretty weak guarantee.  2.  With a tainted company such as this, good luck getting your money back at all!

Conclusion

They hide the ingredients.  They lie about being some kind of “European” product. They hide the ingredients. They make claims without providing any information on how to verify those claims. Their guarantee isn’t up to par.  Oh, did I mentiont that they hide their ingredients?  Akavar 20/50 is not worth the money nor the chances you take by buying from such a shady company.  Stay away.  Thumbs down for Akavar 20/50.
