I ordered the $ 250.00 deal, arrived in reasonable time. But reading the fine print on the bottles, I realized I could not take this: I am being treated for high blood pressure, and am caffeine intolerant.
There’s the 60-day return policy, “no questions asked.” But no return address is given. No other address for contacts is given either. I sent repeated e-mails (”will be answered in 24 – 48 hours”), the only way contacts are offered, no answer in two weeks.
I now have protested the credit card charges, hoping I will not be cheated out of my money. Buyer, beware!

I’m in a similar situation to Lothar K. I ordered the product, and noticed a warning about high blood pressure as soon as I read the label!
Shouldn’t this warning be given in all the ads since millions of overweight people also have high blood pressure? (People want to lose weight to HELP with the high blood pressure.)
I’ve been on two medications for several years to keep my blood pressure at reasonable levels. I’m afraid to take this product, because I don’t want any adverse effects.
Has anyone out there with high blood pressure actually tried this product? What happened?? I’m 60 & have over 60 lbs to lose, but would rather not end up in ER with a stroke or heart attack. Thanks for your response. Sharon
Editor’s note: The majority of fat burners on the market have this warning on them. That’s because they contain stimulants in the form of caffeine, other xanthines, synephrine and so on.
If you have high blood pressure or any of the other contraindicated symptoms / diseases listed on the warning label, you should absolutely NOT use a product like this without first clearing it with your doctor. Otherwise, you risk serious side effects.

This stuff does not work. All I got is insomnia, constipation and the the jitters… I gained 3 lbs after using!
laura on 17 Mar 2008 at 4:19 pm #
This product is a complete scam. All it did to me is make me feel a bit sick, and that’s it.
Complete waste of money, and you can’t get the full ingredients list until you receive the bottle.
I checked out the ingredients on the internet, some of them don’t even appear to exist! Don’t get this product!

Thank you all so much — I don’t make a lot of $$$$$ and I do have high blood pressure, and can’t take caffeine. I started Turbo Jam 10 days ago and work out like hell for 1 hr daily!
I have already lost some inches and am starting to feel more invigorated – but no actual weight loss yet. I think I’ll just try harder at dieting.
I thought this product would be a sure thing for me. But I’m glad I took the time out 1st to read your reviews. You folks saved me some serious money and I’m sure quite a few side effects – - that their web site says you get none of!
kay on 31 Mar 2008 at 4:18 pm #
I ordered this after reading a review on another website called “the skinny on diets.”
What they don’t mention is that the caffeine content is at least as high as a cup of coffee. I don’t consume any caffeine usually, but on the occasion that I do drink a cup, I have never experienced the nauseous, jittery and irritable symptoms that were present the first time I popped one of these pills.
I had been trying ephedrasil, which actually did suppress my appetite (if taken religiously) and give me more energy, but with some insomnia. I thought this would be a better buy, but I have taken 3 in 3 days and can’t tolerate the side effects. Don’t waste your money!
mkatan on 03 Apr 2008 at 11:50 am #
Well the pills are a pretty blue color, that’s about the only positive thing I can think of to say.
As an appetite suppressant you might just as well drink the water without the pills, that’s how well they work. I am still waiting for the “energy boost” to kick in.
I have been taking them for about 2 weeks and they really do nothing. I do not have a high blood pressure so that was not an issue.
Save your money. I’m thinking the only way for sure fire weight loss is willpower and old fashion exercises. There are no miracles in little bottles out there.
Kelly on 22 Apr 2008 at 1:46 pm #
I ordered my Nuphedrine from ebay and it was fake! I was contacted by eBay about the listing being pulled down right after I purchased.
I’m worried that most of the people who have commented here got scammed by the counterfeit nuphedrine.

I am taking Neuphedrine, and they did mess up my order but… WHO CARES! I’VE LOST 12 LBS since February.
I have not made huge changes in my diet… I still eat what I like. I’m not working out either.
I do confess that sometimes it FEELS like it isn’t working because unlike other pills, you don’t get the jitters or other side effects.
I noticed one day when I didnt take them that my energy level was low… so looking at the weight Ive lost, and the fact that I noticed a difference when I stopped taking them means to me that it did work
Unfortunately, not everyone is the same, and therefore not everyone can have the results as me… but I do wish you all good luck!

I ordered Nuphedrine about two weeks ago. Nah, didn’t really notice anything. Hungry as hell. I’m not nearly overweight, but only wanted them as a energy booster and appetite suppressant. This is how I rate nuphedrine — 1 being low 5 high:
Energy: 2-3
Appetite suppressant: 1
Weight loss: 1
You decide!
Anybody know of anything close to Metabolife 356?
Laurie on 16 May 2008 at 9:12 am #
Wow…..I read so many good reviews on some other sites like skinny on diets, diet blog and a few others.
The majority of them seemed to like the product and had increased levels of energy and seem to have lost a fair amount of weight.
So after reading those I had to order…and I ordered off of ebay. I did read that they were taken off ebay a few months ago because someone lied and said he had the copyright and that they were fake but I guess it turned out he was the fake.
Well I guess I will just have to wait till I get these to try them out for myself. I will keep you all posted on my results or lack of results.
sussan on 03 Jun 2008 at 3:11 pm #
Having trouble with the Nuphedrine at Customs. They will not allow it to be brought into Australia without a cites export permit.
On the website of Nuphedrine, they promise a refund, but do you think you can get a hold of these guys? They just won’t reply to e-mail or phone calls.
TOTAL SCAM! They should be shut down. Don’t order any products from these guys!
Lindsay on 23 Aug 2008 at 4:17 pm #
I’ve been taking Nuphedrine for just a few days and it makes me feel so sick. I’m feeling so sick right now I’m going to have to leave work. So not only have I wasted $80 of my hard earned money, but I will lose more $$ because I’m too sick to work!
I don’t usually have these side affects from diet pills and I’m not sensitive to caffeine….makes me wonder what they put in these pills that would cause me to feel this way!
I have never taken an Ephedra-free diet pill that actually worked. Most of us are looking for the awesome results ephedra offered….however I’m not convinced it’s out there.
I will never again waste my money on a diet pill that is not proven to work.
Cat on 21 Jul 2008 at 6:10 pm #
I fell for the information about this product on Skinnyondiets, and I have to say that
I have been EXTREMELY disappointed.
Nuphedrine has not done more for me than any other
weight loss product. The only thing that has really helped me is Weight Watchers. I noticed
one thing on the company’s website: some people in the “before” and “after” photos have not
only lost a considerable amount of weight, but also changed their hair, eye and skin color
in the process (fair-skinned people suddenly having olive skin…)
Truly amazing…in some pictures, you cannot see enough of the person’s face to be able to tell if it is indeed the same person as in the “before” picture.
Another
extremely strange thing is that the same “after” photo is used twice with different names.
First, you have “Nyla”, after losing a lot of weight, in a mini bikini, and if you scroll
down you find the same photo, but this time the “super model” is called “Jillian”.
In my opinion, this company is a fake and did not even take the trouble to put credible
fake photos on its website. Anyone who is not blind can tell right away that they have not
used the same persons in the “before” and “after” photos, or that their posture is so
different in the “before” and “after” pictures that you cannot really tell what they
looked like before they lost weight.
I have finally managed to lose weight, slowly but surely, with the Weight Watchers Point
System, and I can tell you one thing: I may have lost weight and it feels great but, unlike
the persons in the “after” pictures on the company’s website, I did NOT turn into a movie
star, nor did I automatically get an attractive tan.
Weight loss or not, I still have to work
hard to get my body in shape and the muscles right where I want them. The people who claim to have lost weight with Nuphedrine also seem to have gotten new, perfectly shaped bodies in the process.
I also never got any “Hoodia authenticity certificate”.
To anyone thinking about ordering this product, I would like to say: SAVE YOUR MONEY, IT IS
NOT WORTH IT! The only thing you are likely to lose is a lot of money!
Editor’s comments: “Before and after” photos are frequently manipulated. For instance in the “before” picture the individual is often slumped with shoulders forward, stomach protruding, hair messy and “untanned” (as Cat mentioned).
In the after picture, s/he has a new haircut and a tan, is standing straight up with shoulders back, and if it’s a guy, he usually has shaved his body hair. This can make a dramatic difference to the appearance of the individual… even if he or she has not lost an ounce!
Tam on 31 Jul 2008 at 4:36 pm #
So I ordered the product and after reading the message boards on their website.
Then, I decided to email them. I asked why some people said their pills were blue and why mine were red. They replied back with some crap saying they switched the company who “manufactures” the pills thus the change in color. Complete waste of money and waste of time.
The Hoodia Bites were pretty good but made me jittery as crap which is not good on top of the nuphedrine that tears up your stomach.
Brandon on 04 Sep 2008 at 1:33 pm #
Hey thanks for the honest reviews, I was really thinking about trying this, seeing how Stacker 3, hasn’t done ANYTHING for me since I started taking it.
In reality, the only pills I’ve taken that have worked have been HydroxYcut Maximum Strength. But really, I lost just as much weight by exercising hard, eating white meats, vegetables and fruit and drinking a gallon of water a day.
I’m probably going to start incorporating green tea into my diet and leave these pills alone…
Belle on 23 Sep 2008 at 5:29 pm #
I read some negative comments about NuPhedrine and I almost did not get the product. I notice that some sites have negative comments and some have positive ones.
I went ahead and ordered the product because the positive comments outweighed the negative ones. Another reason I got it was because a lot of negative comments were about not receiving the authenticity certificate, the company not returning emails, and not being able to reach the company by phone.
So before I bought he product I called the company and I got a live person on the phone ready to answer my questions. I also had a question about how the product would affect the lining of my stomach so I called the number that came in the package today and I was able to speak to someone who answered my questions.
By the way I also received the certificate of authenticity from the Republic of South Africa. I’m not sure why others have had problems, but I have had none.
The product arrived very quickly and I was able to get a 40% discount from NuPhedrine.com (to be very safe just order from the official website).
As far as the before and after pictures not being real, I don’t see any problem with them.
In the NuPhedrine package I received an invitation to take the NuPhedrine challenge. They say they will pay you $1,000 for your before and after pictures and I believe people have done this. I know I will!
As far as how the pill works, I will have to get back to you because I just got the package yesterday and I have not started as yet. But I look forward to making my $1,000.
HELEN on 20 Oct 2008 at 12:08 pm #
Since I work graveyard shift, I took 2 pills before breakfast, and the first 2 pills made me sick. After few more minutes it made me nauseous and I started to have a slight headache. Oh well, I thought… maybe just the initial reaction.
I am on my 4th day now, and I can say that it does suppress my appetite.
Aside from the pills, of course I do my 30-60 minutes workout wth Wii Fit.
Hopefully I’ll loose weight with this product. I’ve tried a lot of products but they just frustrate me.
Susy on 01 Dec 2008 at 12:06 pm #
Wow.
I have never seen a site with so many negative reviews of nuphedrine. To those ordering it from any other source than the official website, maybe you are getting scammed?
When I ordered nuphedrine, I received the item within one week and have had no side effects, feel a lot more energetic and it definitely curbs my hunger pangs.
To be fair… some people are going to feel this product does not work for them but for other people it does work. The “negativity” on this site is far different from the positive reviews on other sites.
Anyone who is looking for other reviews should at least be open minded enough to look at other reviews. Had I seen the comments on this site I would not have tried nuphedrine, but I am glad I did and I hope others will not go only by these comments here.
There are definitely other points of view out there about this product. I was also curious about all the comments saying the nuphedrine site did not give them a response to emails so I contacted them both by phone and by email and spoke to someone by phone same day and received an email response within 3 days. Interesting isn’t it?
Editor’s comments: Susy, the reason you don’t see “negative” reviews like these on other “review” sites (like the one we edited out of your post) is because those sites are not true review sites.
The site you spoke of, for instance, posts glowing reviews of almost every product they review, and links to a sales site for a hearty commission on every sale. In our opinion, that calls their “objectivity” into question.
Although we can’t prove it, we suspect they are not posting negative feedback, and will only include material that encourages other visitors to buy. We’ve received such reports about other “review” sites.
Quite frankly, the reason why we created Real-Customer-Comments.com was so that people can see what real “testimonials” look like; they are not the glowing, positive comments you see everywhere online.

Hi, I have been taking nuphedrine for about 3 months, I bought it off ebay, from a retailer that showed a picture identical to the one on the official website.
It has worked very well for me. I have lost about a stone (14 lbs) in weight, although I was expecting to lose more than that, I did have a break for a couple of weeks and I seemed to lose more weight in the break than when I was on it.
After a couple of weeks I got hungry again and started to gain weight so I went back on, and they started to work again.
I was very worried about long term side effects, but haven’t had any side effects at all or read about any, hopefully with it being a new product nothing will come out of the woodwork later when its a bit late cause we have all been taking it.
The one problem I did have was that my product was stopped by customs when entering the UK, which meant on top of the £75 I had already paid I then had to pay another £35 to get it through customs and delivered to my address.
I contacted the seller and ebay and paypal about this as nowhere on the website did it mention this possibility, but none of the companies cared. They told me it was my problem and if I wanted the product then I would have to pay the customs charges and it was my problem to know what these charges would be before I ordered.
So be aware they may be hidden costs. But it has worked for me and I will still buy them again.

Hi everyone. i’m a 25 year old american female residing in the UK. 5′6, 147 lbs. I’m not hugely overweight, but I just wanted something to give me a kickstart so i’m more motivated to do my workout. I’ve had two babies within two years, and would just like to get more toned and lose a tad bit of weight.
I did a lot of research before purchasing my Nuphedrine off of Ebay last week. I tried them for the first time yesterday morning. I got a bottle with red and white capsules, and it says they are from Sunrise Health, Spain.. but made in the USA.
I am extremely sensitive to any kind of stimulants. From what I’ve read Nuphedrine is meant to be natural, so I thought I would try them. I tried them for the first time yesterday…I only took one in the morning because I’m so sensitive.
I felt terrible the first few hours or so.. shaky, jittery, nervous, etc. After that tapered off eventually, I did have more energy.. but it didn’t feel like natural energy.. the feeling these pills give me is very chemical. I hate that feeling.
Anyway, took one again this morning about 6. It’s 9 now and I’m still feeling a bit shaky. I ate a bowl of oatmeal, and that seemed to help.
I just don’t know if it’s worth it! Maybe my body will get used to them, and I won’t get this feeling every morning. I I didn’t have any problems sleeping last night at all, but that’s probably because I didn’t take one before lunch.
Update on day 3:
I wrote this yesterday, and am adding more to it.
I had a really hard time getting to sleep last night. I felt so exhausted, but my body just wouldn’t shut down. Such a horrible feeling. Especially since I have a two year old and 9 month old who need me to be coherent during the day!
I decided not to take one this morning. I just feel so drained from the past two days. I’m having an inner battle because I AM seeing results.
I’m down to 142 since Sunday morning… the only other changes I’ve made is cutting out salt and soda. That’s 5 lbs, and I’m finding it hard to believe. I haven’t worked out because I’ve just not felt good from taking these. So I don’t know. It can’t be healthy if I feel like this can it?
Editor’s comments: It’s likely that the only weight you have lost so far is water weight. A pound of stored fat contains the equivalent of 3500 stored calories. In fact, the bathroom scales are a very poor indicator of the success or failure of any supplement or diet program. Please read this blog post to learn how to properly assess the success or failure of any program or diet product.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! THESE PILLS DO NOT WORK…
td on 21 Dec 2008 at 11:30 pm #
Thank you everyone for your commentaries and experiences. I need to lose 25 pounds and have in the past resorted to what works… eating less and exercising more.
I’m older now and want a jump start – well, as I explore more and more, there doesn’t really seem to be any quick jump start. I have spent lots of money on different products and this time, I took the time to research and review.
Thank you all. I will leave the money in the bank!
Shawn on 31 Dec 2008 at 1:45 pm #
Thanks for all the great reviews! After reading another blog and seeing so many wonderful reviews, I decided to try it out. I’ve been taking it for 2 weeks and haven’t had any side effects except that I seem a little more gassy and eliminate more than usual. It’s not bothering me, but it’s noticeable.
But nothing other than that, no jitters, headaches, NOTHING. I lost about 4 pounds in the first week (not sure about BF%, I’ll check that after a month).
I was afraid my appetite would just disappear (who knows how this hoodia stuff works?) but that wasn’t the case. I still ate just as much at meals, but all I had were those meals. I’m a HUGE snacker and I had no urge to snack at all. I try to eat like “they” recommend–you know, eat every 3 hours so that you never get too hungry. But I’m usually hungry ever 1.5-2 hours!
Not with Nuphedrine though – I stopped snacking completely, eating a meal about every 5-6 hours with no hunger in between. I didn’t notice any more energy, just a lack of tiredness if that makes sense. It wasn’t like “I could just go go go for days!” More like “I guess I could keep going…I don’t have the urge to stop so why not?” Very low key, but noticeable.
However, I’ve been on vacation for the holidays and the effects have still been here, but it’s like my mind is fighting them. I’ve been eating CONSTANTLY, but even I can acknowledge that I’m not hungry. I’m just eating because, for a change, there’s a kitchen full of my mother’s cooking completely open for my use. (I’m a student and usually have to subject myself to my own cooking!)
My energy level is still up and even though my good eating habits have been trashed, I haven’t gained (but haven’t lost). I’ve been exercising more which has helped me balance. I’m positive that I’ll start losing again once I get back to my routine, but it’s important to remember that the mind is powerful–I’m overeating because I’m in “vacation mode” it has nothing to do with how the pills work because, physically, I know I’m not hungry. You have to pump up your mental state because the pills can work but you have to put in the behavior!
Also, I’ve been reading a lot of these posts and it sounds like people are getting ripped off: the pills are BLUE with WHITE WRITING, not red and white. There are 90 CAPSULES in a month’s supply, not 60 and the actual product comes in A BOX NOT A BOTTLE.
The address and return info is on the website, you shouldn’t be having problems finding it! And I got my certificate of authenticity, it was right there in the box like they said. Don’t order from Ebay or those other sites, just get it from the official site! A lower price isn’t worth it if you get fake product!
Sonya on 10 Jan 2009 at 5:00 pm #
Well I must say my experience is extremely different. I started taking the pills 3 days ago and along with diet and intense exercise I lost 11 lbs in 3 days, some of which is only water weight I’m sure.
Before I started taking these pills I did not have the energy to work out. I was anticipating a trip to the doctor because of the unexplained tiredness.
My weight is actually what had me tired all the time. I gained 16 lbs in 2 months and that was taking a toll on my body. For the past 3 days I have been working out like crazy.
I think that the pill works differently for everybody. As for the water retention I lost the water weight in the first day because I drank a lot of water and I immediately noticed my feet which were retaining fluids had gone down to normal.
As for the customer service, my experience with a refund based on being charged the wrong price was good. I called in and within a week I received the difference from what I should have been charged.
I have not been sick or have I had any jitters. Maybe my motivation to lose the weight is a little bit stronger than others.
As for the photos EVERY company from Jenny Craig to Weight Watcher’s use fake photo’s to market their products. So far I don’t have nothing bad to say.
Editor’s comments: Just because “everyone” uses deceptive practices to market their products doesn’t make it any less WRONG. Many customers are fooled by this tactic; why do you think retailers use it in the first place?
JAI on 25 Jan 2009 at 9:04 pm #
I HAVE BEEN TAKING NUPHEDRINE FOR 2 WEEKS AND I HAVE NOT LOST A POUND. I DID MY RESEARCH AND I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD DEFINITELY SEE RESULTS WITH THESE PILLS AND I NOW HAVE MIXED FEELINGS. EVERYONE WHO HAS TRIED THESE PILLS HAS LOST SOMETHING AND I AM STARTING MY 3RD WEEK AND NOTHING. I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TAKING THEM BECAUSE I HAVE AREADY PAID FOR THEM AND THEY WERE PRETTY EXPENSIVE. I AM A BIT DISAPPOINTED AND DON’T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN.
Emily on 24 Jan 2009 at 2:52 pm #
I’ve just received my 3 months supply of NuPhedrine. I ordered it from the official website. With it, I’ve got the Real Hoodia Certificate, and a flier saying if I send my before and after photos I’ll get $1000. The pills are Light blue on one end, and say NuPhedrine, and the other end is a darker “bluey-green.”
I paid $15 for shipping and according to the packet it only cost them $8.25, but I’m not too phased. I had no troubles getting the product past customs. I live in New Zealand. I’ve taken 2 pills within the last hour, and I can feel the energy rush now, it’s quite exciting. I don’t feel sick or nauseous.
This is the first diet product I have ever tried, before this I have only tried the usual calorie intake reduction and exercise. I will take “before” photos this afternoon. I have about 90 (NINETY!!) pounds to lose to get back to my former glory.
I will check back on this site regularly with links to my photos, if it’s allowable, and as long as this site is not screened. Of course, this will take place over a long period of time.
I’m excited to try it, and I’m happy to be a real live guinea pig for people out there wondering whether to buy this product.
My current stats: Height – 1.67m (5′ – 5 7/10″), and starting weight was 114.3kg (251 pounds). I’m now 243 pounds, after 3 weeks of plain diet and exercise.
So for nuphedrine my start weight is 243 pounds. My goal weight is 145 pounds, which I want to reach by the end of 2009. (50 weeks total time, for 108 pounds to lose).
I have a 3 months supply of NuPhedrine and will take it religiously. If this doesn’t work, I will be trying other products, which I will also post online for other to see my real live reviews. In no way, shape or form am I promoting any certain products. I’m just trying products with the best reviews online (Even though I have no idea how genuine they are).
Now, about an hour and a half after taking the pill I’m finding I need to go to the bathroom a lot. Will update later. Wish me luck.
bart on 07 Feb 2008 at 1:42 pm #
I bought 3 bottles. The company says the hoodia certificate is in every bottle, well there were no certificates in the bottles sent to me.
I e-mailed the company and have yet to hear from them.
I tried the product, and I had the same feeling when I used to take Ripped Fuel many years ago.
No, it did not suppress my appetite. I feel I have been ripped off, but with no address to send the product back for the “free trial”, I guess I’m stuck.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!
Gary D. on 24 Apr 2008 at 3:45 pm #
I ordered mine from their website not ebay, got it pretty quickly and it seems to be working because I notice I eat less now… guess that’s a good thing, just hope I can lose the weight.
Lothar: No address or contact is given, huh?
Did you try the website? (nuphedrine.com/contactus.htm)
That page lists their phone # and address.
Editor’s comments: Garrett, we’re not sure we can accept glowing testimonials from you without pointing out to our audience that this is your own product, and your customer service record is far from stellar.
Fiona on 07 Jan 2009 at 11:38 am #
I am really worried about whether to buy this product or not. I have tried multiple diets and also the “proper” exercise and lower food intake and did not lose any weight from any of those.
There are quite a few negative comments on this site while others say different things, such as on DietBlogTalk.com etc., so now I am confused at what to do.
Editor’s comments: Fiona, the reason why you see so many negative comments on this site is because we don’t edit any out. We do not earn commissions from the sale of products, so we don’t have a vested interest in presenting only positive feedback. Have a look at “Lala’s” comments below… she is alleging that these guys are NOT posting certain comments she is sending in.
That’s what makes this site different.
When you see nothing but positive feedback for any product, I can guarantee you these are either fabricated, or that the negative feedback has been screened out by editors. In ten years of being online, we haven’t seen any product that receives THAT much positive feedback. If you read the reviews on this site, they are representative of what people are actually saying about that product.
LaLa on 12 Feb 2009 at 3:25 pm #
I first heard about Nuphedrine from the “diet-blog-talk”. I actually was watching it for several months because I really didn’t want to do diet pills.
I joined a gym instead and hired a trainer and watched my food intake and choices. I can feel the difference in my clothes a bit, but I need something more. I need something that could help suppress my appetite so I could stay away from carbs…my weakness.
The past 2 weeks I started keeping an eye on the “diet-blog-talk” again and was convincing myself to try one bottle.
One thing that has me really suspicious about that “diet-blog” website is that I realize it doesn’t post all the comments I’ve written…odd?
If I say something positive or ask a positive question…it gets post. But I found a blog on ebay about Nuphedrine, and people posted some websites where they got them cheaper.
When I posted a comment about that on “diet-blog” and asked if anyone ever ordered from any of these websites….my comment never got posted…odd again?
Either way, I decided to order 1 bottle from the official website, and that’s only because when I tried to exit the “diet-blog” a coupon popped up offering 40% off.
Maybe that wasn’t the smartest thing to do…but a still have a gut feeling that I needed to try these…so I am. Sorry for the long story….I just thought the whole thing was weird that several of my comments where not being posted.
So that tells me something fishy is going on, I believe they have control which post they want posted…or maybe there’s a glitch in the system….who knows.
Either way…the pills will arrive next week. I will post again letting you know what I get in the package, the color of the pills…and some results (if any) a week later. Good luck everyone!
Editor’s comments: Diet Blog Talk appears to be focused on earning referral commissions for the products they “review.” They therefore have an financial conflict of interest that – if this visitor is correct – is preventing them from presenting all the feedback on their web site. Not surprising, since they have a vested interest in showing you only positive feedback. That’s why the feedback you see on this web site is so different. We have no financial conflict of interest.

I started taking Nuphedrine a couple of days ago and so far have been VERY pleased with the product. My appetite has greatly decreased and I don’t feel “jittery” at all. I have not experienced any negative side effects so far and would highly recommend this product to anyone interested in losing weight.
I ordered from their website and it was delivered to me in about a week. I received the record of authenticity on the Hoodia as well as a $1,000.00 offer for before and after photos. No problems.
I’m sorry that some people have had a negatvie experience, but I’m glad I gave them a try! Very impressed
For me, it was money well spent.

Thanks so much for creating this website. I almost ordered Nuphedrine after reading 500 positive comments on another diet review blog, but it just started to sound fishy with so many positive comments. I scrolled down the website and noticed they had glowing reviews for patently fake stomach belt gizmos, so I had to believe it was a fake website. This site confirmed my suspicions, that they are getting referrals for people purchasing the diet products. Thank goodness for this website, saved me $80!

I returned Nuphedrine since it did not work for me. I contacted their customer service to provide a mailing address instead of a PO Box so I can track the package to ensure that they get it so I can get my refund.
Their mailing address is:
C/O Good Health Inc.
1810 W. Washington Rd.
Anthony, NM. 88021-8819
Make sure that your original invoice copy is included and they did refund my money next day less 7.95 for shipping. I was pleased with that as I was afraid that I will not get my money back based on some reviews.

Well, being a South African. Let me tell you about the Bushmen Tribe that supposedly uses the Hoodia product.
Just remember these folks don’t subscribe to the western diet, they don’t drive to work in their SUV’s and they only eat when they are hungry. They burn many calories per day by physical labor and every day activities. Their so called use of Hoodia is in lean times or when food is not as abundant as in your local grocery store.
As far as getting certification from the South African government, nonsense. The South African government cannot even certify postal mail, which is their responsibility, so certifying Hoodia, I certainly don’t think so.
So on a lighter note; try to rent a 70’s movie called “The gods must be crazy”. A tongue in cheek comedy about the life of a South African Bushman. While you are laughing at this movie you will probably burn more calories than Nuphedrine does and a feel lot healthier after.

I got the pills in record time, and they suck. Don’t do anything. I took two the first day and I didn’t feel a thing. I shared them with my girlfriend and she reports the same thing. I bought the $140.00 pack and its too bad. Oh well… lesson learned, back to the exercise and portion control. Don’t buy them!
Oh yeah – one more thing… if you do return them there is a $7.95 “restocking fee” which I thought was total crap.

Hey guys, the best thing to lose weight is to eat the right food and exercise more. It’s so easy to steam fresh veggies in a bamboo steamer and bake a nice piece of fish for dinner. How many nights or days do we all sit in front of the TV? Try doing some pushups or situps or dips using a chair during the commercials. Don’t get caught up in all these diet pills, they are a waste of money. You need the energy boost from the food you eat the exercise you do – just try it
There are plenty of websites giving advice on different exercises to do and advice on which type burns more fat. The $$ we all spend on pills and shakes could be better spent with a good gym membership or a skipping rope.
Although having said that, this site is very open and should be commended. Nice work on fixing up such a criminal epidemic on the internet!!

So.. my Nuphedrine came in a box, three pills per sachet in the box, with a month’s supply. Certificates for Hoodia were included, and I ordered off the site about 3 months ago. I am very sensitive to caffeine and get crazy nauseous if I have the smallest cup of coffee (so I don’t!).
My first day taking Nuphedrine was pretty amazing. The effects were dramatic in that I really didn’t want to eat. At all. By the third day I actually had to force myself to eat because I thought it wasn’t healthy living off a banana a day! Though, after a week, the appetite suppression was not as severe. I also noticed less tiredness which is awesome because I am a full time student and I work. By the time I get a moment, I never felt like working out.
Things are different now. Nuphedrine helped me realize that I actually eat often as an emotional response, which I never realized. It allows me to take a moment and say wait – I am not really hungry at all.
So why give it only a 3 out of 5? Well, I guess I expected crazy huge weight loss. After three months, I imagined losing a pant size at least! But its meant to burn an extra 500 calories per day. Which means 3500 per week which equals 1 pound of body fat. I have not lost 12 pounds. I have lost about 5 I think. Could be because I am drinking more water, eating less. Maybe I didn’t lose more because I started drinking more beer. Who knows?
I do know that I like Nuphedrine because I don’t feel jittery. And I am not as tired. Don’t eat as much. And its a conscious EASY choice I make every day to lose weight that encourages me to take more aggressive and harder choices.

THANK YOU so much for creating an up front and honest website! I only WISH I would’ve found yours before Diet Blog Review -REALLY! There should be a warning sign for all viewers-so we know to take the 650+ reviews w/a grain of salt!
Let me tell you I am a skeptic too when it comes to a good weight loss supplement-so I read just about EVERY review on the site for nuphedrine-& after seeing that there’s a 60day $$$ back guarantee-I purchased 3 boxes (buy 2 get one free).
After the 1st day I lost 2 lbs (water weight I’m assuming), then nothing after that for the next 2 weeks- in fact – I GAINED the 2 lbs BACK! How’s THAT for discouragement? I’m an active person-working out with the P90X program 5-6x a week and running after my little baby all day-I don’t sit around watching TV shows and eating snacks!
I didn’t notice any extra energy, in fact I was SO dead tired by 9pm every night (prob cuz I wake up at 6:30a to exercise)-and the food cravings? Although it did help a bit with eating at night (I had the full feeling from 5p till I went to bed)-but midday around lunch time (I had already taken the 2 pills around 8am) I had the strangest desire for sugar! Particularly chocolate- I don’t know what the deal is-but I only have like 15 lbs to lose to get to my pre-baby weight & I figured nuphedrine would help me get there.
I haven’t been on any weight loss supp. since the pregnancy-& b4 baby- had pretty good results from Lipovarin (which I used for about a year-I lost college weight with that supp.)- Well, I just ordered Curvelle after reading your review & their $$ back guarantee. Thanks to AIDA for the address. I’m still going to call them to confirm because their website gave me a PO box in El Paso,Texas?
Thanks Paul for the awesome website!

I am about half way through a box of Nuphedrine. The pill are blue and green with the white writing. I am trying to lose my mid-40s weight. I have read a lot about healthy eating and admit I had slipped in the past few years. I have changed my eating habits. I am trying to be sure to work out at least 5 days per week. I drink a lot of green tea.
I cannot swear by the pills, but I do think they are helping a bit. I don’t feel as empty hungry as I used to. I don’t feel the need to grab a little snack as much as I used to. Don’t feel any energy boost, but then again, come on…the only way to get an energy boost is to eat right, exercise and get proper sleep.
I am thinking about ordering a second box. It’s expensive, but would like to continue taking it just to see. Remember, there are no drugs out there! Only a good diet and lots of exercise are going to keep you healthy. Maybe the pills are just helping me in my head, who knows? But I have gone down a size since April (its now June 1)….

I hope nobody paid full price for these, because if you click away from the official website without ordering, up pops a box in which you are immediately offered a 40% discount. Thanks for these actual reviews, compared to so many sites that are just shills for a product for which they get a commission.

I started taking Nuphedrine in January of 2009. I was skeptical but at 54 and in the throes of menopause, what did I have to lose? I am 5′11″ tall and was tipping the scales at 192. As of yesterday, I am down to 159.5 and have gone down from a size 16 to a 10. Does it work? Obviously! I am a high school teacher and do NOT have time for exercise. I simply took the pills and started eating sensibly — a Slimfast breakfast bar for breakfast, some type of Lean Cuisine for lunch, and a regular dinner meal with grilled chicken to start off with. I have not starved myself and the pills give me no jitters. I have had great success with these pills and I recommend them to everyone! Maybe I’m just really lucky and blessed, but they have definitely worked for me!
Editor’s comments: A lot of your success can be tied to your diet, which – depending on the size of your evening meal – is likely providing you with less than 1200 calories per day. Luck has nothing to do with it, I’m sorry to say.

I have been reading everyones comments for a while now and thought I’d add my own. I brought Nuphedrine from ebay and paid 45 gbp for it. When the pills came they were in a box and the pills were two tone blue/blue green. After taking them for 10 days I have lost 3 lbs (which I am pleased with as I only have 14 lbs to lose and I wouldn’t be classed as overweight – just bigger than I’m comfortable with!).
This pill did supress my appetite slightly but I didn’t have any extra energy! After reading reviews on a ebay forum, I noticed that people had different colour pills, and the better reviews were coming from the ones that were red and white or blue and white and come in a bottle not a box! I managed to track some of these down and paid 15 GBP for them – a lot cheaper than the boxed ones! I started taking them yesterday and felt a little spaced out, nothing bad but at least I feel like they’re doing something.
They also made me very full after eating and therefore I had no desire to snack! I’m only on my 2nd day so I don’t know if they will help me lose weight but I will keep everyone updated over the next few weeks. I think people on here are reviewing different pills that are both being sold as the same product, so seeing as though I have both types of pill I thought I share the comparason.

Thanks for this website – I was just off to go and buy Nuphedrine after seeing overwhelming positive posts on “diet blog talk.” This is unbelievable! I just bumped into this site on my way to log off and settle for Nuphedrine, as I have been disappointed with Stacker 2 and 3.
Now I don’t trust any pills apart from green tea from my health shop. For weight loss, I will go for Alli. I have done research and it is FDA approved to be safe.With exercise and dieting, plus Alli I am sure I will have no heart attacks or liver failure, or sudden death.
Good luck everyone and Thumbs High to this website.

Sorry but I think people should read this before buying Nuphedrine. Looks like DietBlogTalk.com is actually owned by the people who make Nuphedrine. Which would explain why Nuphedrine has the highest comments and success rate on there. A company called “Prime World Syndicate” owns at least three ‘impartial’ product review websites tailored to ‘encourage’ people to order their dieting products: WeKnowDiets.com; Sensational.com & DietBlogTalk.com.”

My rating is not for the product it is for the comments. I keep checking here so I can get some real feedback on whether or not a product works. However, I think most people fail to truly elvauate the product. They talk about they purchased yesterday or a couple days ago. They even say there were conflicts with high blood pressure. My thing is, if you are now looking to make a comment then shouldn’t you have researched it beforehand? The comments I’ve looked at for another product was pretty much the same, useless. Too much talk and not enough valid reviews. I think I’ll check back in a few months to see more quality comments emerge on this site.
Editor’s comments: If you check the links on our pages, you’ll see we recommend visitors use the product for at least a month before posting any feedback. We will also occasionally make that point during post moderation as well. It is something we try to encourage, but at the same time, visitors need a place to share their comments now.

I love this web site – you get everything, the good the bad and the ugly.
I recently had a baby and gained way too much weight. I’m in the military and I have 6 months from the day I had my daughter to get back in shape and lose the extra weight. So I just need a little help in getting to my goal in a timely manner.
I was looking at taking Nuphedrine but I have to make sure that it is not on the banned list of drugs for the air force. So if anyone knows for sure if this is not allowed for military members please let me know.
I was thinking about ordering a big supply based off the reviews on the web site on off the skinny on diets website as well but after reading this I think I’m just going to go with a 2 month supply just to see if it works for me so that I don’t have to return a bunch of stuff if it doesn’t.
I’ll post again after I’ve started the pills and let everyone know how its going and if they work for me or not.
Editor’s comments: Stephanie, we doubt that Nuphedrine contains any ingredients on the US Air Force’s list of banned ingredients, which mostly includes steroids. However, you need to verify this with the Air Force first. They are the ones who make the rules and can provide you with such a list. Secondly, we respectfully suggest that you do not buy based on the recommendation of “Skinny On Diets”, which is hardly an impartial resource. Anyone who recommends Nuphedrine and its clinically proven ingredients – when they very obviously NOT clinically proven – is not someone we attribute a lot of credibility to. If you’re interested in this product, please read our Nuphedrine review before purchasing.

I’ve done so much hard research on these products because I’m lazy and think there’s a magic pill that can help. Some of the sites on nuphedrine, nuphedragen, phenphedrine are run by Garret Devore, he’s a big scammer behind it all. He has listings on ebay with Fibersyn (watch out for him, don’t buy his products he works for devore) and they both write amazing reviews for their junk products on random websites pretending to be regular consumers. They rarely give refunds or contact customers. They just want your money. do your research! Don’t just click 2 sites like I did – read some reviews good and bad and want to buy it. Learn who is selling your product, and everything behind it, and save your money.
Check these sites…

So you can read for yourself!
Also, I’ve read louie-devmin on ebay selling nuphedragen is a scammer who sells fake pills.
Editor’s comments: Nikky, Garret Devore Labs / BlackStone Nutrition is on the top of our list of scam retailers, for all the reasons you point out, and more.

This product for me was great at suppressing my appetite, but the weight loss was minimal, and i totally stopped when I couldn’t sleep for two days.
