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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! THESE PILLS DO NOT WORK...

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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?

The address for returns in on the website c/o Nuphedrine PO Box 13161 El Paso Texas 79913-3161 I just ordered. Wish I had read this before. But hopefully I will be able to return if it doesn't work.

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 :D

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 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?
http://www.nuphedrine.com/contactus.htm

That page lists their phone # and address.

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.

Where do I send a return if I want a refund? C/O Nuphedrine PO Box 13161 El Paso, Texas 79913-3161

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.

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!

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!

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!

This stuff does not work. All I got is insomnia, constipation and the the jitters... I gained 3 lbs after using!

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.

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 RECOMEND THIS PRODUCT!

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!
