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 magic pill did absolutey nothing at all for me.
I didn't feel any hunger control, didn't loose an ounce, and had no extra energy.
It's just useless.
I did get my money back because I marked the ORDER date on the calendar for 28 days and emailed them in time for a refund.

i definitely feel it working. it does suppress hunger but not sure how it will work two weeks from now. Only been on it a week.
Wow, very surprised with the product. I had good results with Hydroxycut but that was recently taken off the market so I decided to give this a shot and very happy with the results. Very potent for being all natural.
I have taken NuPhedrine since January of 09. I was highly skeptical at first but I needed to drop 25 lbs immediately. I teach high school and only have time to exercise my jaws and my brain so I needed to stop eating so much. I am 54 years old and in menopause. I started off at 192 lbs and as of yesterday, I weigh 159.5. How's that for working? I have eaten much less and it's been easy to do. I highly recommend this product.
I lost about 15 pounds with the help with nuphedrine but there were other contributing factors to my weight loss. Like drinking lots of water, working out 5 times a week, staying active, and eating healthy. I feel great and i'm soooo happy because i made a change in lifestyle that will help me keep the weight off. I have a co-worker that got gastric bypass. She lost a ton of weight (like 120 lbs). She then went and got surgery to remove the excess skin. it's been about a year since she did this and guess what? She's starting to gain the weight back. I think "what a complete waste of money, time, and effort just to gain it all back." i feel bad for her because she's a really nice person. I want to say something but it's not my place. What's even more sad is that the gastric bypass and plastic surgery wasn't a quick fix, took her years to complete it all. I'm sticking to my new lifestyle, I feel much better this way. I have so much energy now.
BTW - FAKE vs. REAL pills
(MOTTS seemed to really start this issue on this message board)
if you go to sunrisehealthltd where the some say 'FAKE' /some say 'REAL' pills are sold; this site seems pretty hoaky to me.
One bottle is around $17 and if you want to conact them there is no address, you have to fill out a form so they can contact you????
If you are questioning what pills are real the red and grey/white (Sunrise Health)or the blue/ blue and green (Good Health nuphedrin) just take a look at the sites and compare them. Then use your better judgement to tell you what one seems more legit to you.
I have now ready all of the reviews here and am still unsure about this pill.
I purchased from correct site and recieved the 90 pills -3 to a packet - blue and green with nuphedrine written on them.
So far its been 4 days. Here are my side effects so far:
No headaches
No extra Energy
Increased Cravings
Feel more full on less food
Retaining water like crazy (almost not fitting into my jeans its so bad)
Getting up 3-4 times a night
Has anyone else experianced the bloating and water retention?
I am curious to know if it went away, and how long it took.
Will continue posting my side effects and weight loss or gain details daily for anyone who cares.
Hi, for the people who say this works did you experiance any wieght gain at first or water retention?
I just started (5 days ago) and seem to be getting bigger. I am only 116 and just want to drop 10 lbs.
If this is making me gain weght I want to stop taking it, but if this is normal for the first week and then I will lose I will continue to take it.
Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks
Well, heres my personal experience:
I bought 3 bottles on eBay about 2 years ago.. They came in boxes and one of the bottles had blue & white pills and the other 2 bottles had red & white pills. In about 3 months I lost like 20 or 30 pounds! I went to visit my Grandparents and everyone was calling me super skinny which was awesome! But I was also on the Atkins diet so that may have contributed to the weight loss as well. I cant remember for sure if I was working on then or not but I just started taking them again today and will post my progress along the way.. I'm getting married this August so I have 6 weeks!
*Also, something else I do like 2 weeks before an event is start taking water pills daily.. (AQUABAN is my favorite as DIUREX makes me feel sick) and that REALLY makes you look good and shrink enough to fit in your skinny jeans again! Just dont STAY on them any longer than that because you dont want to become dehydrated.. thats dangerous..
Good Luck! And pls keep us all posted on your progress!!
I was really skeptical about diet products but tried nuphedrine, which worked fairly well. I tried some others since and nothing is up to par with this stuff so i just reordered.
it help me, I like very much. thank you for information on website.
Good for suppressing appetite and boosting energy. haven't lost any noticeable weight yet, but i just started two weeks ago.

I started Nuphedrine on Friday, May 29, 2009 which I purchased from the website with the 40% off deal...and it came with a certificate. I purchased a one month supply only. If I see that it performs as it should, I will purchase more. I will not change my eating or exercise habits, so that I can assess its effectiveness. I will log the results on here regularly. Before taking Nuphedrine, I had been steadily gaining weight since last Thanksgiving (20 more lbs since Nov). At the start of taking the pills, I was 238 (235 if you deduct 3lbs due to the beginning of my cycle). As of Friday, June 5 I am now 233lbs. I found that after taking the pills in the morning on an empty stomach, I'm not that hungry. I sometimes skip breakfast anyway which causes me to have an early lunch. Today, I ate a hash browns covered and chunked from Waffle House for breakfast and gave the cheese grits to my co-worker because I was full. Now, I'm able to go longer w/o feeling hungry. Then I will take the third pill in the late afternoon, and eat my usual fast food lunch. At dinner time is when I feel hungry. But my appetite is still not as big as before. I'm still skeptic because I go up and down 5lbs all the time. We'll see what happens next week.

Lisa - i would bet your product is stuck in Canadian customs cause these guys deliver quick. I Googled Canadian customs law and looks like they have strict laws on dietary supplements. check it out ,google it and you'll probably see an article about mexico and canada and their laws against supplements. hope you get it soon, it took my friend a few weeks but she did get it.
to say eat less to lose weight is kinda meaningless. the secret is to eat small portions throughout the day to jump start your metabolism. Excercsing and drinking lots of water is common sense, no? No diet pill will make you lose weight on its own and for anyone that thought that, I don't think we need to take advice from you. i'm a personal trainer and used nuphedrine as a fat burner to get cut up, and it works very well but you probably shouldn't be taking it if you have ulcers or other bad medical conditions. For that, you go see a doctor. duh!
It gave me heartburn and upset stomach, and when I worked out it just got worse, even if I'd eaten just a while before. It doesn't raise the heartbeat, but it'll take a few days to get used to. If you have a sensitive stomach, hernia, ulcer, heartburn, or any stomach issues, don't take this as it will really exacerbate them. I made it 4 days then had to give it up. Didn't feel any less hungry or any less thirsty either. I also feel it messed with how hot I felt. Even though I was sweating during workout, I didn't feel warm, and this really isn't a good thing either. The real secret? Eat less, exercise more, drink water. Seriously. Diet and Exercise.
I ordered from Canada... and I still don't have them! I am sad, I had really wanted to give this a shot!
I've ordered from them a few times and delivery is always quick, less than a week - usually just a few days. But i'm in Texas and i'm pretty sure it was shipped out from around here. My friend in mexico ordered it and it took weeks to get to her. Felt bad because i told her to order it. guess Mexico customs held up her order. Whats weird is she lives only a few miles from me from the border. Lisa, did you order from Mexico? you might want to check with customs if you did.
I ordered mine may 1st and still haven't received it so I have no idea if it works...so far I am sorry I ordered it at all.
definitely pricey but worth the money. better than the stuff at GNC for sure.
