NuPhedrine
A combination of Advantra-Z and real South African hoodia
BACKGROUND
Start the Diet Now Advertisement
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 have been waiting 5 weeks for them and to be honest I am going to shove them straight back in the box and get my cash back. If that girl Laura folks died then I want out. I need to change my behaviour not but tablets. Easier said that done I know but those tv programmes about obesity weight loss surgury, crash diets, diet pill addiction has me feeling pretty nervious so I think its time to dust of the walking shoes, buy organic vegies and start cooking, exercising and just get on with it.

I too ordered my Nuphedrine via expidited shipping, and waited 8 or so days before the product arrived. I kept calling customer service complaining about not being given a shipping #. They finally gave me the USPS shipping number & then the Nuphedrine arrived. But Now, after reading some of the warnings on the product as well as, many of the comments posted here, I am somewhat afraid to take the pill. I read that it made some of the people feel kind of sick, so I didn't take it today because I had to drive a long way to do someting important that I could not cancel. 1. I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL MAKE MY PULSE RACE & MAKE MY HEART BEAT REALLY REALLY FAST. 2. I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL GIVE ME INSOMNIA - THAT WON'T GO AWAY AFTER A FEW DAYS. 3. ALL IN ALL I AM JUST FLAT OUT AFRAID THAT THE PILLS WILL JUST MAKE ME JITTERY, NERVOUS, & MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I'M SPEEDING. (I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT MINOR PROBS LIKE A LITTLE HEADACHE OR MILD NAUSEA) I KNOW THAT ON THE NUPHEDRINE WEBSITE IT SAYS THEIR PRODUCT DOES NOT HAVE THE SIDE EFFECTS OF MAKING A PERSON FEEL JITTERY, BUT STILL I WORRY. PLEASE IF ANYONE HAS HAD ANY EXPERIENCE WITH ANY OF THESE ISSUES. PLEASE WRITE ABOUT IT. THANKS

I was always slightly overweight, but dew to some health issues I gained 20 pounds, so I tried pure Ephedrine(Magic Herb)! That when I was 40 back in 1997.. The side effect was only for couple of days, after that it worked like miracle. In three months I reached my goal, then became too skinny.. then took only one pill a day just to keep it that way until last year (exactly ten years). Now I am starting to gain pounds month after month.. I tried all the possible pills I could obtain in Canada or order from US, they only added more pounds. Couple of hours ago I ordered Nuphedrine basing on YOUR comments. I will wait impatiently to try it! I do thank you all, whether it works or not. Good luck

Im 22 years old. Im not overweight, but I just wanted to lose a few extra pounds, cant hurt right? Ive always been skeptical, not really believing that a pill can make you lose weight with out the side effects similar to ephedra. I decided to try a bottle of NuPhedrine and I can HONESTLY say it works. I dont have cravings anymore, and I dont get hungry for hours!! Ive never felt shaky, nervous, or had problems sleeping. This product seriosuly works, and I would NEVER give this review if I didnt believe so. I recommend buying this product!! Ive been using NuPhedrine for about 2 weeks now and Ive lost 13 pounds! I feel fantastic

I thought that supplements were a waste of money until a friend of mine at the gym gave me some of these to try out. Other supplments didn't do anything for me but I can definitely feel the difference in Nuphedrine. I wish i found this sooner.

I tried NuPhedrine after giving up on some of the other diet pills. I have been on Nuphedrine for 2 weeks and so far so good! I will keep everyone updated.

As much as I hate to say it. Nuphedrine actually was a miracle for me. I was able to quickly shed the pounds months before my daughters wedding.

I ordered Nuphedrine, and after ten business days the product still was not shiped off. I called customer service several times and was told different things as if they were buying time. Eventually I spoke to the manager who was very rude. If I knew it would of been like this, I would not have ordered it. I'm still waiting. I will update my review as soon as I get it.

This is a thermogenic. Very good one if I might add. anyone know if i can send in my B&A pictures for some discounts?
Sami
Yes, I agree, these are pretty strong. I read that weak supplements usually have fillers like cardboard. Guess these guys put the real stuff in their pills. NICE!

Sarah, have you been exercising while taking the pill?

I got my Nuphedrine a few weeks ago through this site and got my order fairly quickly. I was going to come back here and write a bad review if the product was bad, but I have to say it was actually decent. It helped me not feel hungry and gave me energy. I saw up top that some people felt shaky and got a headache. No bad side effects for me, thank god. I am happy to say I have lost 10 pounds last month and 8 so far this month, with exercise and a healthy diet of course. Losing weight isn’t some easy thing like “buying a miracle pill” and eating as much as you want. These supplements are just aids for your diet. Its a lifestyle change and I’m finding out its good for overall health. Body and MIND.

product isn't bad, got a slight headache first few times but that actually helped curb my appetite. Good for energy for sure, I take one after lunch at work and I stopped falling a sleep at my desk. :)

I got my nuphedrine a few weeks ago and tried it for a few days. Didn't really notice results so i returned it and got my money back. I'm thinking or reordering because i notice now that my energy level are lower than when i was on the stuff. I did feel a little different on it but a friend of mine told me it was probably the appetite suppressant that makes you feel that way.
