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.

This is the day no 46 since I ordered Nuphedrine and counting. I've sent dozen of emails, and tried hard to reach them by phone, no luck. I live in Toronto, anybody PLEAASEE give me a precise number that I can contact?? Somebody told me this is a big scam and you all on this page are just one person from the what-so-called "company"
I just received my order today! It only took 3 days.Priority mail. Iam very excided 2 try this. will let u know how it works for me!
Don't buy from Ebay cause i read somewhere that those are bootleg. if you check the seller ratings from those sellers, they are really low which just seems odd. I would just get it from the website with the guarantees.
I just ordered on 4/7/08, will keep u posted!
I started mine last Friday, 4/4. I get on the scale this Friday. Hope it works that well for me. My pills came 3 in transparent plastic too.
Hi Crossing My Fingers in NC. I received a Certificate Of Authenticity with my order. It's a certificate of origin that the Hoodia Gordonii came from South Africa. They say this is important in ensuring that the P-57 molecule is active and potent. It may be a selling line. Do you have a money back guarantee if it doesn't work for you? With or without a Cert of Auth. it may or may not work. That's why I only buy if they offer a "money back guarantee. 4/8/08
I started taking mines for 1 week, I have lost 8 pounds. Pills are solid blue; 3 in transparent plastic for daily dosage. Company was fast. Included the certifcate which to me it doesn't mean anything because anyone could make something like this in photoshop and printed out.
well. it is tuesday and i still haven't received my pills from ebay. i, like an idiot, asked my seller after i purchased them; if there was the authentication certicficate with the pills and he replied no but that they were real nuphedrine pills. i'm scared as hell now to take them. so many questions people are having about the color and i just don't know what to think anymore. i think that this supplement has gotten way out of hand. you should never have to keep guessing what color a pill is. if there is no authentication certificate is it fake? i'm so confused now. this is ridiculous. but will still keep you posted when i receive them. please, if someone can clear any of this up for me. thanks - 4 - 8 - 08
Kelly if they are working for you, good for you! Above are a lot of different posts stating their pills are different colors. What is real is your wt. loss.
i bought some from ebay they are red and white on the nuphedrine website they are blue are the ones i bought real? not really bothered as they do work lost 4lb in the first 2 days
I have been using this for a week, with diet change and exercise. . I have lost 4 pound I am so happy..have not found a product that has worked do fast..will keep u posted.
I ordered on 3/31/2008 (Priority shipping 2 to 4 days)from the Nuphedrine web sit. I received them on 4/3 from USPS. They are solid blue, 90 caps to a box. Started taking on 4/4 as directed on the box, 2 in am on empty stomach and one in the afternoon. First two days had some nausea in the afternoon. Noticed yesterday (on day 2)...though I get hungry I'm eating less and more satisfied!! This is my 3rd day taking them and I really notice a decrease in my appitite today. Oh, I called cust. service on 4/2, after reading the reviews on this site I was a bit concerned, they were very helpful; told me when they were shipped out, when I would receive them and what color they are. He said they have always been the same color (solid blue).
I bought a bottle off of ebay, just wondering if it was the real thing or not, it is a maroon and white pill with no writing on it, the bottle of course looks like what they show on the web site but I don't know what the pills are supossed to look like.
I JUST ORDERED MINE TODAY FROM EBAY. EACH BOTTLE IS 60 CT. FOR 35.00 INCLUDING SHIPPING. I HOPE THIS WORKS. I WENT TO THE WEBSITE AND THEY WANTED 75.00 FOR THE SAME. RIDICULOUS PRICE. THANK GOODNESS FOR EBAY! I HOPE THAT THIS PRODUCT REALLY WORKS AND I WILL KEEP POSTING EVERY DAY ONCE I RECEIVE IT TO GIVE MY PERSONAL FEEDBACK. CROSSING MY FINGERS! TODAY IS APRIL 5TH 2008
When I ordered my Nuphedrine it was over the phone. The conversation was SUPPOSED to be recorded. The man I talked with said that I would recieve 6 months for $170 (there was a promotion that if you bought 4 months you get 2 free). So I recieve my package (2 days late) and there are only 4 boxes. I called and talked to Ceci - supposedly the manager of customer service. I explained that I only recieved 4 of the 6 boxes. She would not give me any information at all or let me talk to her boss. She doesn't "remember" the guy I ordered from and since they are a new company they didn't have the phone recordings working yet. I've spent HOURS trying to get this figured out. She gave me NO information and just kept apologizing. So now I spent $200 on 4 boxes when I could have gotten 6, and if I am not happy with that then I can go through the trouble of personally mailing the pills back. .
THIS COMPANY HAS NO INTEGRITY. THEY REFUSE TO LET YOU SPEAK WITH MANAGEMENT. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD BE GETTING 6 MONTHS OF PILLS FOR THE PRICE OF 4 (A PROMO) AND I ONLY RECIEVED 4. CECI WAS FULL OF APOLOGIES WHEN I CALLED IN - BUT I RECIEVED NO RESULTS. BE CAREFUL - THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM.
Thanks for your advice on anoretix. First time buying anything like that so I never really thought it through. Im just waiting on them to come. I was really going by there feedback on ebay as they sell on ebay too and the feedback seems to be great. So did you try them or do you think they are unsafe? Just want to know if anyone thinks they work. Thanks : )
I tried Anoretix, horrible stuff and the worst part of it was they don't have any contact information other than an email address. you know what they say about websites without a phone number and address...most likely a scam. Flyby night company. I personally will never order from a website without a phone number and address. And a word of advice, call the phone number and make sure you get through to someone. Some companies have a phone number but it always goes to an answering machine because they are also scams.
never order from a website without a phone number and address. this anoretis product is a joke. The website was created in late DEC 2007 (http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=anoretix.com) and there are testimonials on their site of people saying they were on it for 3 months and these testimonials have been on here since the website went up. this stuff isn't sold in stores so how did they have anyone on this stuff for 3 months to write a testimonial when no one could have bought it then and been on it for 3 months? I think it is obvious that this is a shady product and most likely a scam.
i've lost about 25 pounds in 4 months. Been taking nuphedrine for the last two and i'm pretty sure it's helped. I drink a lot of water and i run for 20 minutes and bike for another 20, 5 days a week. no more soda and late night snacks. i eat big lunches and very small dinners. One florida navel orange every morning. hope this helps someone.
