Hoodia V.S. Akavar 20/50
There is undoubtedly a lot of hype that goes into weight loss supplements. This hype can often skew or bury real results under seemingly mountains of anecdotal of dilluted information and stories. To top it off, every product has it’s own story, be it scientific, cultural or religious to help bring it to the table. Separating the facts from the fiction can be a big challenge with so much available information on the internet.
“Hoodia.” Go ahead-google it. You’ll be pleased to know that there are over 8.9 million relevant searches. And those are just the indexed searches! Although hoodia has been no stranger to the bushmen of Africa for hundreds of years, its recent appearance into global markets has been impressive to say the least.
The type of “hoodia” that is the miracle supplement we often hear about is actually hoodia gordonii. There are some great wikipedia and reference articles which go into further detail. For our readers who prefer the condensed version here it is…
Hoodia Medicinal Uses:
Hoodia has long been used by the indigenous people of Africa for use in indigestion and basic infections. The key element responsible for appetite suppresent was identified in 1977 and is now commonly known as P57. The phamaceutical company Pfiser tried to replicate P57 but discontinued the development due to difficulty in synthesizing the product and alleged negative side effects on the liver.
Hoodia Scientific Studies
It has not been substantiated that hoodia is an effective appetite suppressant. No legitimate or reputable scientific studies with humans have been performed on the miracle drug. Studies on rats indicate the actual amount of hoodia ingredient needed to be effective is far above any of the current levels of popular supplements. The one documented study done on humans had only a very small population, (7 participants), was paid for by a private marketing company and was not published in peer-review.
Social and Marketing Issues:
To obtain imported Hoodia requires a very special endangered species certification. The South African Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) recognized the San tribespeople’s rights to shares of profits of hoodia or any hoodia spinoffs. Just what that percentage is remains unknown, but the number of wholesalers and cost of licensing and importing is assured to reduce the San tribespeople’s percentage to a very small portion of the profits indeed.
Millions of people have tried hoodia and now millions are looking for something even more effective.

From what I’ve researched about Hoodia is that in all actuality a user needs to be taking exorbanant amounts for it to truly be effective. I haven’t tried Akavar yet but I tried Hoodia for 3 months and it didn’t work at all. I’m really considering giving Akavar a try. I’ve talked to some friends and they say it’s worked for them.
