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.

It's me again, it's 22/5/2008 today, and so far I haven't even lost any weight at all, not even 1pound, I even tried to double my dosage for the last week, and still nothing worked, it did nothing to my appetite, but I don't dose off that easily at work anymore, I'm thinking about finishing the first box and if that doesn't work I'll return the rest, I wonder if I can still get my magazine subscription? By the way, margaret, how did they pay you back? by sending a check or just credit it back on your credit card? coz I used my credit card to buy it.....

My pills are blue and transparent (but the powder stuff is blue). So it looks blue and blue. Where did you order your pills? I recommend everyone to order them straight from the company.
It is May 21, 2008. I just purchased my first order. I want to lose 45 lbs. Everyone is all over the place with their reviews...so this should be interesting!
Hi all, I just ordered my pills today (Monday, May 19, 2008). I ordered them over the phone and was advised they were shipping out on today and that I should receive them in 2 - 4 business days. Hopefully I'll get them this week. I hoping to lose at least 20 pounds by June 26 for a vacation. I'll keep you guys posted on when I receive them and my results. Good luck to everyone.

Alright! I got my pills on Friday. I don't know why it took so long for others, but my order came within 2 days. I took my first pills this morning (Saturday). And I don't really feel any different. I'll check back when I have completed a week. Wish me luck!
Well..before reading all these reviews I purchased online tonight! SOOOO....heres to hoping!! lol! Love to here some updates on some of the above postings! CHEERS!
Ok. I ordered the pills from the main website on Monday (May 13th) and I hope to get them soon. I would like to lose 10-15 lbs. I'll keep you guys posted once I receive them.
I returned this product after 3 weeks. I purchased in March 2008. I got the same disclosures and info that "CAT" did. I did not lose 1 pound on this product. I have received a refund that is $7.50 short of what I originally paid and I am waiting for their response on why as they have a 100% money back guaranty per website.
I've been taking these pills for 4 days and all i am is hungery. It does nothing to my appetite. I thinking about sending them back. I know its only been 4 days but I would think it would make me not so hungery!! It seems like its making more hungery. It seems like Im more hungery then before when i wasn't taking the pills!!
It's me again, the asian chick if anyone remembers, I got mine today on 7 May 2008, I got my 3 boxes along with a "certificate of authenticity" with a permit number on it that says its issued on 23/3/2007 in cap town and another card saying if I mail my before and after photos I get $1,000. I also got a piece of paper which kind of looks like an invoice but the middle part got peeled off and taken and it was printed on sticker paper? anyway it had like my details and it says what I ordered and that I'd get a yr's subscription of "Maxim" which the first copy would probably be sent in 4-6 weeks. Anyway, I counted my pills and they were all there, the pills came in three boxes and inside those boxes were tiny clear packets that contained 3 pills each. The pills were in blue and clear, and the blue bit had nuphedrine inscripted in white on every pill, since It's 8pm right now so I thought I'd start taking them from tomorrow morning and see how they work. Hopefully this is going to work. Finger's cross, and I keep you guys updated
-missy- i think we got the same kind of nuphedrine but the effects on me was very strange.. it made me crave on foods. i always felt hunger / starving. yesterday, it gives me a very very bad headache and im scared so i took just one pill for today.. ill keep you posted
so i just got my pill today but as i counted it, its missing 3 pills and im paying for 90 pills for 85 dollars with s & h. but anyway, i took 1 pill this evening and so far i did not feel any SE yet and i hope not. ill keep you posted..
Hello everyone, just got my pills in 2 days ago, it only took 5 days to get to my house. They are blue pills and come in packets of 3 pills in each. I have taken them for 2 days and lost 1 lb. When reading all these reviews, I am a little nervous but since it does have the 60 day money back i will give it a try. I will keep everyone posted.
I have been taking my oills for 4 days. I ordered them from the official website. They are solid blue, I recieved the certificate od authenticity. I was uoset at first because they took 3 weeks to arrive and as I live in the UK I had to pay an additional £15 customs duty making the total cost £60 approx $120 for 1 box of 90 capsules. As I said before an expensive way to loose weight. However I have lost a total of 4Ibs in 4 days. No side effects at all. I am a 53 year old female and I only want to lose 28 pounds so if this continues I will be very pleased. Even though its costong me the approx £2 $4 per pound.
forgot to say. I am not part of the marketing team,and I think the reason I dont get any side effects is that I dont drink tea or coffee or cola. I was still a liitle hungery on them so had to exercise some will power too
