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 DON'T GIVE UP EASILY & IT HAS PAID OFF FOR ME WITH NUPHEDRINE! In the beginning I had some MINOR Side Effects- like slight jitters & insomnia for a few days. My weight also fluctuated up & down a couple of times in the about the 1st 10 days! Then I saw some good progress. I slept great, no jitters, & my weight steadily declined.I kept taking the Nuphedrine as directed & reduced my caloric intake by about 500 calories/day & did some jogging & some circuit training throughout the week & I LOST WEIGHT & INCHES. AFTER SIX WEEKS I LOST 10 POUNDS & ALMOST 2 DRESSS SIZES. THANKS NUPHEDRINE - IF I HAD GIVEN UP ON YOUR PRODUCT AFTER A WEEK OR SO, I WOULD NEVER HAD LOST ENOUGH WEIGHT TO BE A SIZE 4 AGAIN!!!!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!
I lost 3 pounds the first three days and gained all back the same week and haven't lost anything since. I ate about 1200-1500 calories a day and excersiced 4 times a week for at least 45 minutes. This product is not real!!!
To: Redsiren: Congats on hanging in there. I think you will get the kind of results you are looking for very soon. So MANY MANY MEDICATIONS have the INITIAL SIDE EFFECT OF DIFFICULTY SLEEPING! My Gosh Look at the labels of the OTC meds in your local drug store & the natural supplements at your local health food store. Almost all of those labels will say that SHORT TERM SLEEPING DIFFICULTIES may be a side effect that will SUBSIDE w/in a few days. Or maybe you are really just too hopped up to sleep now that you are finally on a good quality diet aid & waiting to see the reults. Be patient I really think that will pay off for you & you willl drop some weight & write a post of your results that will encourage everyone @ Nuphedrine!
The initial feelings are now gone. It's my 9th day, and i've not lost a single pound, although i pumped up my calorie intake to about 1400 a day (i was taking at 1100). one good thing is that ive bundles of energy, but bad side is i can't sleep at sane hours. very spaced out coz i can get to sleep at 1, and i jump out of bed 5 hours later! Ii just don't seem to shut down earlier that usual. i'm still constipated, i do drink about a litre and a little more water in a day. i'm keeping fingers crossed....
To: REDSIREN: Your difficulties sound alot like the problems I had when I reduced my caloric intake TOO MUCH. You added exercise maybe & your ill feelings would have occurred even w/o the Nuphedrine. Maybe your body was ALREADY going into dehydration from poor nutrition & h20 intake along w/exercise. Oh & BTW dehydration & not eating enough can cause constipation.I sure hope you do get on track with Nuphedrine & get over the initial probs. From what I've read this supplement is suppossed to make weight management much easier - not such CHORE!
TO: moyni: I THINK YOU WILL GET YOUR ORDER SOONER THAN YOU THINK. CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE - IT MAY TAKE SEVERAL REQUESTS - BUT ASK FOR THE "USPS" SHIPPING/TRACKING # OF YOUR ORDER. NOW THEY MAY ACT LIKE THEY CAN'T GET THAT - BUT THEY CAN - TRY ASKING FOR A COUPLE OF TIMES & I THINK YOU WILL GET THAT & THE THE POSTAL SERVICE WILL E- MAIL THE DATE ON WHICH YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR SHIPMENT.GOOD LUCK. LOSE WEIGHT HEALTHLY & QUICKLY! & THEN TELL US ALL ABOUT IT!
TO "ONTHEEDGE" If you have never been on anything very strong, I think you will at least feel a lot more energy. I personally never experienced the appetite suppresant/hoodia effect. I doubled up the amt of pills that I took & I still didn't feel any less hungry - I just got extremely jittery. I worked out 6-7 times a week. I did 6-7 cardio workouts & I added going to Curves 4/times a week about the time I started Nuphedrine. That was six weeks ago & I only lost 2 pounds. But that's just me. I exercised probably too much & took Nuphedrine & it didn't really work for me. But I have read almost all of the posts & you may not have had time b/c of your scheduele. It seems to me that the people do very little exercise or only do moderate amounts of exercise report alot of success with this product. Me I finally went to a local physician for help. He had me try two rx supplements & I lost 7lbs in 2 weeks. But since you like to work out intensively the, I bet you will really like the energy boost this product will hopefully give you. Then watch those lbs drop. GOOD LUCK!!
i started today on recommended dosage. i had a low calorie diet the whole week (while preparing to take this) and i exercised 3x wk, 30 minutes a day. I got shaky, dehydrated, constipated, unfocused and antsy. i really wonder if i should carry on for a week, coz i hate these feelings. does anyone feel this? btw my pills are red and white.
I AM ON IT FOR MY 2ND DAY. I GAINED ALMOST 3LBS. I DONT KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING....ANYONE GAINED WEIGHT FROM THIS?
I GAINED 3 LBS IN JUST 2 DAYS TAKING NUPEHERINE. WHAT IS GOING ON..HAS THIS HAPPEN TO ANYONE?
I tried another product by this company, which didn't work but I didn't realize it when I ordered it... Does it really work? I just don't know if everyone is a real person here or not... I just hope this one might work... I'll let you know.
How is everyone doing? Has anyone lost any weight yet? It would be nice if customers would take the time to let the rest of us know how things are going? Don't just dwell on the negatives, remember to write about any successes.
No reply to emails, can't get through on the phone. I have been waiting since mid Jan for this product and notthing yet. Think I've been had. Bye Bye money!
To start i am a 20 yr old female who is at the present time 150 lbs. I have been struggling with my weight since i was in high school. It got really bad when i went to collage, and began eating really bad because of the munchies and such...iv tried everything under the sun. The only thing that has worked for me was weight watchers. However for the past 3 yrs iv have been "on a diet" and have remain in the same weight range. For the past 3 months iv been eating extremly healthy and have been working out for 6 intense days a week, which is very time consuming becuse i am a nursing student. I have not lost 1 single pound. I am praying that this works for me, because as my name says im very depressed and am on the edge. Ill keep you posted as to when the pills come and how they work..
3-7-2008: I paid the $2 extra to have them arrive quickly and they still took about a week. That being said, I just started taking them this morning. I am a 32 year old, female, 5'3" weighing 163 as of this morning. I'll post back in a week or so with an update.
Everyone who is experiencing weight loss of several pounds per day or week...How much do you need to lose? It doesn't work the same if you have to lose a hundred pounds over someone who wants to lose 20. Guys also lose quicker. I want to hear from a woman in her 40's who needs to lose less than 15 pounds who has taken these pills. I started yesterday. I haven't been nibbling on chocolate and junk but I'm still eating 3 regular meals. My husband is taking them too and says he doesn't feel any different. I got a little headachy yesterday but not bad like some pills. I've done hydroxy cut and others with no results. Am looking forward to using a pill that actually works.
OK MY SHIPMENT CAME YESTERDAY I WILL BEGIN TAKIN GIT THIS EVENING BEFORE DINNER AND I'LL REPOST IN A COUPLE OF DAYS TO LET YOU KNOW HOW IT IS GOING, BUT I WILL BE FOLLOWING THE COOKIE DIET ALSO IF ANYONE HAS EVER HEARD OF THAT- IT DOES WORK. I WEIGH 136 THIS MORNING. TTYS
