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'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. posted May 29th, 2009 10:07 am

I tried it out for a week and it was okay but i sent it back for a refund and they refunded my money. I probably should have tried it out for another week or so. you should keep trying, can't hurt posted May 15th, 2009 9:56 am

Let me assure you I have been on it for 3 months and no weight loss at all. I feel like I have gained weight and I eat the same. It does not work for everybody and it does not burn an extra 500 cals a day I can assure you. posted May 14th, 2009 8:02 pm

if you ordered from nuphedrine.com you got the right pills. You just have to watch out for those fake bottles sold on eBay. Those are cheap knock offs. The fake ones used to come in bottles with paper wrapping. I'm not sure how they are making the fakes now, i only got fooled once a while back and never ordered from eBay again. posted May 12th, 2009 12:02 pm

Um im confused, I just got my first box, in individual packets, of 3 pills each--but they are blue with NO writing on them? I read a comment stating it should say the name of the pill on it, and mine says nothing? Right box though...anyone else? nhwahm@yahoo.com please let me know posted May 10th, 2009 5:25 pm

I can't believe it but Nuphedrine actually works. I was very skeptical but it did help me curb my hunger and gave me more energy. I recommend it for sure posted May 6th, 2009 11:12 am

Nuphedrine helped me lose about 19 pounds in 3 months. Most of my weight loss started to show around the 3rd week. I guess i noticed it but my boyfriend was the one who pointed it out first. He helped me stay motivated. posted May 1st, 2009 9:59 am

I ordered nuphedrine from the website and then made the mistake of reordering from eBay to get it cheaper and I got a bottle with a cheap paper label. The fake pills didn't do anything and the bottle to me looked dirty. It looked like something my son played with in the dirt all day. Very Gross. The real Nuphedrine is the real deal. posted Apr 29th, 2009 9:54 am

Thanks for your response tamar!!

for all of you about the FAKE PILL. I ordered nuphedrine from the website. Mine are SOLID BLUE. I was mad beause the color of the pill i got was not the same as the ones on their website. so i decided to call their customer service. they told me that there are a lot of imitations of the pill so they changed the pills to SOLID BLUE. so therefore, the real nuphedrine are SOLID BLUE. if you are not sure about your pills then i recommend you to call their customer service to make sure. hope that helps! and i will be back in a month or so to update you on my weight loss =) posted Apr 27th, 2009 7:01 pm
