NuPhedrine
A combination of Advantra-Z and real South African hoodia
BACKGROUND
Please note, the product DietsInReview.com has reviewed is available at Nuphedrine.com. There is confusion amongst consumers about the color and packaging of the pills. In 2008, Nuphedrine changed manufacturers, and in the process updated their packaging and the color of the pills. The current Nuphedrine product is sold in a box with individual packets inside.
Nuphedrine is a highly-sought after, but highly controversial diet supplement. It contains two key ingredients which have been implicated in aiding weight loss: Advantra-Z and Hoodia. Advantra-Z is a patented form of synephrine or citrus aurantium, a similar product to the now banned ephedra. Hoodia is a cactus plant that hails from South Africa where it has long been used as an appetite suppressant for tribal men on long treks through the countryside. It has recently gained enormous popularity in the US. Nuphedrine also contains Slimaluma, a patented product that is also supposed to suppress appetite.
Nuphedrine is not supposed to cause any side effects. It does not contain any stimulants like caffeine or taurine.
PRO
- Nuphedrine may help to jump start a weight loss program
- Nuphedrine’s auto-shipment program is voluntary, not automatic
CON
- Nuphedrine is not approved by the FDA
- No scientific evidence that Nuphedrine results in weight loss
- Pure hoodia is very difficult to come by
- May cause many side effects
- Not a longterm solution to weight loss
- Hoodia also suppresses thirst
INGREDIENTS
Nuphedrine contains certified, 20X South African Hoodia, Advantra-Z in the 30X potency and Slimaluma.
Here is a breakdown of the three ingredients of Nuphedrine and how they work to help you lose weight:
Advantra-Z alone is supposed to help you burn an extra 500 calories a day with its 30X "Extra Strength" concentration. Advantra-Z claims that it enhances weight loss, increases lean muscle mass, improves athletic performance and suppresses appetite.
Hoodia contains a compound called ‘P57’, which is a molecule that makes you feel full. But only pure hoodia contains this special molecule. Many studies have shown that even though a product may claim it is pure hoodia or certified hoodia, it is not the real thing. The hoodia contained in NuPhedrine is concentrated 20 times and has a standardized guaranteed 20:1 ratio rating.
The third ingredient in Nuphedrine , Slimaluma is sends signals to your brain while you’re eating telling you that you’re full. Given its effects on satiety, a little amount of food can go along way in tricking you into feeling that you’ve eaten enough to quell your appetite even though very little food has been consumed.
ADMINISTRATION
It is recommended that you take three capsules of Nuphedrine per day. Two capsules should be taken in the morning on an empty stomach or 1-2 hours after eating. The third capsule should be taken at mid-day to help get you through the evening.
DIET and EXERCISE
There are no specific dietary or exercise recommendations while taking any Nuphedrine but the company does recommend that you follow a sensible eating and exercise plan.
CONCLUSION
Nuphedrine may be one of the most popular weight-loss supplements on the market with its triple combination of South African Hoodia, Advantra-Z and Slimaluma. But diet experts, health professionals and individuals who have lost weight and successfully kept it off will attest to the proven fact that weight loss cannot come in a bottle. If it were that easy, there would not be the obesity epidemic in this country like there currently is.
If you are curious about Nuphedrine, speak to a medical professional before you take it, particularly if you have any prior health conditions.

I returned the product to Nuphedrine.com for a refund. It's been 2 weeks since they received it back and no refund yet. They don't respond to email either.
This product did not work for me. I was a bit disappointed as I had read many positive reviews before purchasing it. I took the pill, twice daily, for a little over 2 weeks. I didn't lose any weight and I experienced frequent headaches. Since discontinuing this pill, the headaches have disappeared. Save your money. This pill doesn't work.
Sheeesh! I've never heard so much confusion about this product! I just order it today 6/20/08. I weigh 200lbs, I am a 41 yr. old female. I will tell you when I received them N tell you if it worked for me after 1 month, that should be a good amount of time to let the product work okaayyyy people!
I have been taking the green and blue pills I ordered from the Nuphedrine.com site for about 21 days. I haven't experienced any reduction in weight or decrease in appetite. I am an active person who exercises about an hour each day. I had hoped this product would help me drop a few pounds. It did not. I will be sending the box back. I will NOT be purchasing the red and white pills, blue pills or any other product claiming to be Nuphedrine. I am disgusted with this whole confusing, useless experience. The consumers are not being protected or informed at all.
I want to give these a try but I am sure nothing will work without a strong effort, cutting out junk food, and a little exercise (I don't exercise, but should.) Anyway, I had a friend who was highly skilled in mathematics and she figured out for me that I needed to walk 17 (seventeen) steps in order for me to burn 1 (one) calorie. At the time, I weighed about 120. I am thinking that by walking 6800 steps each day, I will burn an extra 400 calories. With the 500 calories Nuphedrink is supposed to burn, it should give me a daily advantage of 900 calories. Even if it doesn't, the walking should help to keep my heart and circulatory system going. BTW I am 57 and now weigh about 150 pounds, so I am willing to try anything within reason.
I ordered from Nuphedrine.com and rec'd blue and green pills with a certificate. I have taken them for ten days now and my weight has fluctuated. I plan to finish the box. I do not have any side effects but haven't noticed a major change in appetite or energy either. As for MOTTS, he is the only one posting that nuphedrine.com is fake so I wouldn't take the word of one person when there are several others diputing his claim. Good luck to all of you, like me who just want to lose some weight!!!!
I recently started taken this product. I ordered it off the nuphedrine.com website and my pills are green and blue with nuphedrine wrote on them. They are not boosting my energy or curving my appetite at all. I was wondering if i should increase my dosage because i was taking 3 a day? How long before you eat would you recommend taking these before you eat because i was waiting about 10 to 15 mins.I have taken ephedra in the past and since then I have yet to find a diet pill that will work for me. Can someone help?
WoW! I copied the link from Motts and pasted to search, even with THAT there are several links to it, one says REAL and takes you back to what looks like Miracle Burn, they show you a box and say AUTHENTIC with a green check mark and a BOTTLE with a big red X and says COUNTERFEIT Nuphedrine. This should all be illegal as it is totally unfair to the consumer trying to make a specific purchase of a product they want to try. Have people had success with the Red/White pills? Thanks
Soooo confused..Brandi said real Nuphedrine is green/blue but I went to site for Miracle Burn and right by the box are green/blue pills. This is nuts!
Well, I've been on nuphedrine for about 8 days now, and i haven't seen a scale yet, but my jeans are a little looser and I feel great. Of course, I exercised for the last 5 days however I'm not a real healthy eater. I can say that I can see some results.
There is no official Nuphedrine site. If you buy nuphedrine off nuphedrine.com you are actually buying miracle burn. There are several sites promoting nuphedrine.com and I don't find it coincidence that these same sites also promote Miracle Burn, Hoodia P57, and Jilian Micheals. There is a 9 page thread on an ebay forum that dates back to before nuphedrine.com started passing Miracle Burn off as a Nuphedrine. There is a 9 page thread about nuphedrine on eBay. It dates back before the product was switched. Personally, I would not want to use this new fake nuphedrine as it's actually miracleburn. http://cbs47.empowereddoctor.com/story_1144.html
Oh thank you Brandi :). I dont think anyone got my sarcasm... (maybe motts did, he got kinda quiet) Thanks for straightening this out, Brandi Paula
Sandy and Candy thank you for your thoughts. Listening to Motts got me nervous that I was taking something different from what I wanted. I stopped taking them because I was scared. I will restart now ;-)
Attention Nuphedrine Customers- I am the Senior Editor for DietsInReview.com. We've taken note of the concern over pill colors and the legitimacy of Nuphedrine sellers and wanted to clarify for you. The only official Nuphedrine site is WWW.NUPHEDRINE.COM. You can access the site by following the "Start the Diet Now" button within the review. The only color the real Nuphedrine pills come in is GREEN and BLUE. Any other color is counterfeit. We hope this clarifies any confusion and makes you feel more confident in the purchases you are making. - Brandi
The real nuphedrine is green and blue. I can't believe this Motts guy is trying to tell the rest us of that his website is selling the real stuff when the website and trademark is owned by www.nuphedrine.com. --------Amazon, the pills you bought from ebay that are white and blue are fake. So are the ones that are white and red and white and any other color. ------- General rule of thumb, be very wary of companies in florida that seem shady. They have this thing called the home stead act and if these scammers get caught, their homes and retirement money can't be touched. the reason why OJ simpson was able to keep his house and retirement plan.
Motts i hope you go to jail for your scams. For anyone too naive to realize this guy is the one who owns the nuphedrine direct.com site. EVERYONE check what i found about MOTTS' so called company. (Candy you have good instincts). So if you google the complete address from this website nuphedrine direct.com you will see this as the first result: http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/303/RipOff0303333.htm -- and this same address goes to another website that sells EPHEDRA http://bestsafeephedra.com/contact.htm. for those of you that do not know EPHEDRA is ILLEGAL and DANGEROUS. WOW talk about scumbags, this guy takes the cake.
Hmmm Motts I am sure you feel the same - this all seems shady and definitely illegal. Did you notice that all the review and diet blog have links to the nuphedrine.com site? I just ordered this product on May 27th and the ingredients are listed on the box as they are advertised: 30% AdvantraZ, 20::1 Certified South African Hoodia and Slimaluma. If the product I purchased is a fake product, mircle burn or whatever - Its criminal - they would be lying to the consumer on every level - the brand name used, the ingredients used, the potency used... EVERYTHING - lawsuits are going to be flying if this is indeed the case.
Just curious...for all of you that see yourself as being overweight, I have a hard time believing that none of you have high blood pressure! Can you take this stuff if you are also taking a 10mg bp pill???? please email me at: bscottschultz@hotmail.com if the above comment is true. I am looking to lose about 25 lbs.
Well today was my first day on the pills. I took two in the am on an empty stomach, and then one in the afternoon as directed. At first I did not think it was working. But after I took the third pill in the afternoon I could definitely feel a difference. I was not hungary at all. I felt full. When I did eat it was easy to stop and eat a light amount because I felt like I ate allot. I will update often. So far the first day was great.
HELLO! www.nuphedrine.com and www.realnuphedrine.com is run by the same person. The product being sold on www.nuphedrine.com is actually MIRACLE BURN. I had bought the product off www.nuphedrine.com before I knew what was really going on. For whatever reason, they don't list what's in the product on the boxed product. I didn't feel good about taking that product so I returned it for a refund and bought the correct product.
