Back in the day, Xenadrine® contained Ephedrine, but when it was removed from the market for health concerns, its developer, Cytodyne Technologies, revamped its formulary, using elements such as Green Tea, Coca Extract, Yerba Mate, Pantothenic Acid, Guarana, White Willow Bark Extract and Ginger Root. Many of these elements are fairly pedestrian, and may be found in many fat burners. Also, it is important to note its credibility has taken a lot of fire, because its developers have been accused of “making false and unsubstantiated claims about the effectiveness of the product”. They have also been alleged by the FTC of using paid “endorsees", who never used this product. Given Xenadrine®’s formula, we are not surprised that they may have resorted to these tactics. Also, this product has scored incredibly low on many consumer-driven sites in terms of results and customer service. Read a full Xenadrine Review Here.

HoodiaP57 - Pure 20X Strength Certified Hoodia
This product is simply as good as Hoodia gets. It is 100% certified, pure Hoodia from South Africa. It also boasts 20X the strength. If any Hoodia product is going to suppress appetite, this is the one. We also like that HoodiaP57 contains nothing else except pure Hoodia -- no fillers and no stimulants. This means it is safe to take whenever you want – including close to bed time. There are hundreds of Hoodia products on the market now, but we don’t even bother to list them on this site, because 99% of them are just cheap imitation Hoodia that is not even from South Africa, where the P57 molecule is the most effective. We chose HoodiaP57 to be on DietBlogTalk because it is of the utmost quality. The maker even includes a certificate of origin from the South African government stating the Hoodia originates from there. This product has nearly a perfect ‘Thumbs Up’ score. Check this one out.

Slim10® - 10 Patented, Proven Ingredients - 1 Pill
Slim 10® has hit the marketplace with a huge bang. This is the first and only weight loss pill ever made that has combined 10 different patented, clinically proven effective ingredients. And to top it off, they added 500mg of pure South African Hoodia in a 20X potency to every serving. This pill is pure weight loss science. In fact, with this many award-winning ingredients in one capsule, we don’t see how anyone could not lose weight by taking it. Each of these effective ingredients is standardized so you always get a product you can count on, and they all have not just one, but several clinical studies backing their claims. The Slim 10® customers say it all—check out these enthusiastic postings on the blog. In fact, Slim 10® is on par with the best diet pills around like Nuphedrine® and HoodiaP57®. Nuphedrine is definitely the strongest of the three pills on metabolism boosting, and HoodiaP57 is the best for just pure appetite suppression, but Slim 10® is the most balanced of all of them in terms of a variety of 100% clinically proven and patented ingredients. The truth is, it really just depends on what pill is best for the consumer—some will do better with Nuphedrine, others with HoodiaP57, and of course some with Slim10®. We can definitely say that you can’t go wrong with Slim 10® in terms of losing weight. Read a full Slim 10 Review Here.

The really amazing part is that most of their customers come from word of mouth, and it is quickly becoming one of the most popular diet products available. The maker of Miracleburn® doesn’t spend tens of millions on advertising like alli®, Hydroxycut® or Curvelle to hype their product. They simply let their satisfied customers virtually do the marketing for them. We suggest reading through the postings. The formula consists of a quality form of Hoodia, combined with the patented metabolism booster, Advantra-Z®. It also has several other balancing secondary ingredients.

HoodiaBites
This product is just what it sounds like - chewable Hoodia pieces. The good news is that they actually use a superior quality form of Hoodia, and it works. In fact, this is probably the fastest way to feel Hoodia, because when you eat it, it digests so much quicker. In fact, most customers report that it works in minutes not hours like traditional capsules. The chewable pieces are very much like a piece of taffy and taste good. They kick in faster than a quality Hoodia pill, and definitely do the trick. They are only a few calories per piece, and may be taken safely throughout the day. This is a good product to use by itself or in conjunction with another diet pill/program. Hoodia Bites are well liked by the customers – the blogs score well. Read a full HoodiaBites Review Here.

However, the diet also offers advice in other areas of life, such as hygiene, and advises dieters to thoroughly cleanse the face, hands and neck in the morning and evenings.

Slimaluma™
(U.S. Patent 7,060,308) -- We found that this ingredient is proven to drastically suppress the appetite. When you’re hungry, the hypothalamus tells the brain that food is needed. And when the stomach is full, the hypothalamus tells the brain to stop eating. Slimaluma™ sends a signal to the hypothalamus telling the brain that your stomach is full, which helps people eat much less. The customers speak highly of Slimaluma™ -- but it needs to be used in a supportive diet capsule with other essential ingredients. The consumer response has been especially high on this ingredient and products that include it. Read a full Slimaluma Review Here.

Paula: hi, good reviews here, thanks...its good to know that Xenadrine isn't as powerful without the Ephedra. I'm going to find something that works.

joan edwards: xenadrine sure seems to be a bit weak, maybe it was better when it still had ephedra. i think i'll keep looking for something stronger than this.

Hayley: Is the old formula for Xenadrine still on the market??

bernstein_701: the old xenadrine formula made me feel really sick so i stopped taking it. i was hoping it would be better when they changed the formula but it still does not seem to be effective. too bad, i saw some potential in it, it just doesn't have what it takes.

Eden: Well, I've tried Xenadrine twice, both terrible. The old formula made me SOO sick like i was going to have a heart attack. REcently, i thought i would give it another try, that it might be worth it if i actually lost weight. Well, I found out that the new formula DID NOT WORK AT ALL. It didnt make me as sick, but it just sucked.

Jack: Is Xenadrine EFX meant just for bodybuilders, I am having some difficulties finding info on it, thanks.

Marianne: THE NEW FORMULA OF XENADRINE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL

Kara Debo: Oh I liked Xenadrine when it still had Ephedra, I thought it worked great. I was bummed when it went off the market and they had to change up the formula.

Tamara: Well, I had such a terrible time with old Xenadrine that I was kind of happy to find out there was a new formula. But now that i am seeing it does not work, i am much less enthused.

ellen: So has anybody here tried NuPhedrine? I read this review here Nuphedrine.html, it says it has a strong fat burner that's better than Ephedra. I might try it instead.

Heather: I think its lame that Xenadrine couldnt come up with a decent formula after Ephedra was banned. But i guess that was all the old formula had going for it in the first place. Its a shame bcs I kind of liked the old.

Nicholas: Well I'd seen Xenadrine for a discount at the drug store but didn't know much about it. This site was the first thing that popped up when I searched online, and boy am I glad I read the review. Even though it's cheap, I can tell I'm better off without it. Thanks for the info.

Jessica: Saw it in the $2 bin at Walgreens.. i'm kinda cautious when it comes to this stuff. So i looked it up online, and i found all of this. I'm glad i did... thanks for the warning!

krm47: lost my baby weight with xenadrine a few years ago (27 lbs) but have recently regained about half of that. i really liked it back then, don't know how well it works now.

Donald: The old Xenadrine made me vomit & gave me insomnia. The new stuff doesnt sound any better.

Aline: It looks like Xenadrine just has a lot of caffeine, has anyone felt liek it is too strong, I am very senstive, thnks.

Stacy P.: Loved Xenadrine when I took it, didn't know they changed the formula, it's been awhile since I've need a diet pill. Good to know there's been changes!

cassie: Ephedra was awesome, they should bring it back! Old Xenadrine worked, not like this new stuff that does nothing.

Peter: Xenadrine EFX made me sweat profusely and feel dizzy when I took it, I don't even know which formula it was, or when they changed it or whatever. I was hoping to find out what made me so sick, maybe it was the Ephedra one. Anyway, I won't buy the stuff again.

Jane: What is in new Xenadrine, now that there's no ephedra? what are the other ingredients?

Lorian: Hmm I also saw Xenadrine on sale for super cheap, was hoping maybe it wouldn't be so bad, for the price. I've had to stop myself several times from picking it up, I think reading this review will help me resist further, I don't want any side effects or nothng.

Tara: THANKS for the warning about Xenadrine. I was going to buy it just based on what it used to be. I can see that would have been a big mistake.

Dawn: Xenadrine was my favorite product for using when I did intense workouts and long runs, I felt so energized. Maybe the Ephedra ban will be lifted sometime and we can have the rush again, I hope so at least. I'm gonna wait on this til they bring it back.

Diane: YEah i dont trust a product that goes back and forth from one thing to another & they dont really tell you. It seems like "Xenadrine" is never the same thing, and it sounds like none of you like it either way!

Brady: Just wonder why they don't make the formula as strong as the old Xenadrine, if it worked better than the new one.

ERYN: XENADRINE DID NOT WORK BEFORE AND IT DOES NOT WORK NOW, NEIETHER FORMULA IS GOOD DON'T BUY IT!!!

joe: I get no energy boost from new Xenadrine. The stuff is weak.

MSU05: Nice site, good to see a debate going about Xenadrine, and i found the review helpful, i now know this is not worth it.

Sarrah: What Does Xenadrine have in it, anyway, does it even burn fat??

andy magic: hi everyone i'm interested in an at home program i was just laid off and had to cancel my gym membership. i wold love to know about any new videos or affordable equipment that works at home thanks

Nadine: What about an appetite suppressant? Is there one in Xenadrine? I really need something like that.

ray_chill777: no way am i ever buyinng xenadrine now, it looks like a cheap worthless product glad i was warned about it.

Kris: So I never liked the old Xenadrine formula anyway, I had hoped to see some improvements. But I tried it, took it for a month, it didn't do anything. Wish I would've read up on it first, I really need to find something soon.

Rita: Not impressed wiht what I'm seeing about Xenadrine at all. Rita

nancy: Ive tried almost every diet pill and nonoe of them worked. You must eat well and workout! I was 218 pounds 5 months ago and now im 140 and feeling great! Its all about changing your eating habits. Eat 5 times a day 3 hours apart. Before dieting get your colon cleansed and enjoy the change.

Patti: Thank you for making this product!!! I have lost about 85 pounds. I work at a YMCA and have been over weight for YEARS! It was horrible working with the "skinny bitches" Now I get to be a "SKINNY BITCH" (That is an inside joke). This product works, please keep up the great work. People like me need you. You ROCK!!!!!!!

lady_A: Umm, I am not one for being called a 'skinny B----';) Undfortunaley I have to agree with everyone ellse this product does not really work.

loriann: i was a faithful user of the xenedrinre diet pills, and it worked really well with me, and very upset that they took it off the market, since they did that i have not been able to take another like it, and its been a month and probably have now gained bout 10 pounds and im very upset of the fact i cant find them anywhere!

Joni: Well I never liked the old Xenedrine formula and was actually sort of thrilled that it was taken off the market and something new came along. I used the new formula for 3 months bcs I didn't feel so jittery as before and could stand it. But still never lost the weight. I just stopped taking it 2 days ago and am searching for something that will help burn more calories.

tammy: the xenadrine that is on the market today is not effective.the first one that came out with the ephedra was.i lost all my weight with that product.i was very satisfied.i really regret them taking that off the market.i havent find anything that effective since.

kat: does it really make you loss weight?

Lori: THIS WAS THEIR FIRST FORMULA: I took Xenadrine and found I had lots of energy, but I also had ill side effects such as the headaches, rapid heart beat, skipped heart beat, jitters, and mood changes. The mood change was so severe and everyone could see it, but I feel I became dependent upon the drug. I feel I became vain, self-centered, and did things that I would not have normally done. I feel this drug ruined my life to the extent I am now divorced. For me it was very addictive because even though I was having the side effects, I kept taking the product. While working out at our local rec center, I actually told one of the workers that if I fainted or passed out that it was my heart because my heart was racing and flip-flopping in my chest. I would NEVER take this product again or recommend it to anyone. I took Xenadrine over the course of about 2 years. I can't explain it, but for me and my body, it was a drug and I feel I was under the influence for a period of about 2 years. This drug should be ban.

Lori: I made a prior comment, but forgot to mention it does make you sweat (a lot!), and not only just in the gym. Also, the body odor caused by it was very unpleasant!

Kara: Yeah, I agree with most of the comments here...Xenadrine is pretty much a has-been..the new formula just doesn't have the potency that the old one had (altho i didn't like the original formula either - it made me really sick). I'm doing a lot better now taking Slim 10...this has a really good metabolism booster Advantra Z, plus lots of other good ingredients. and no jitters which for me is real improtant. I have lost 17 lbs already in only 6 weeks with this.

WENDY: I took the old one and lost all of my baby weight 9 yrs ago. I wanted to get on it again Im glad I read this if it has chnaged I dont want to waste my money. But it is a shame bc the old product worked great for me and I just had my second child and need a lil extra push to help get this weight off!

diane: HI Wendy, Yep, it is a bummer that Xenadrine's not the same since they went Ephedra Free. THe formula definitely HAS changed. I tried it a year ago and wow, it did absolutely NOTHING. i kept expecting it to work the way it had in the past for me, but now i have accepted that it's just "lost its magic" withiout the main ingredient of ephedra. It's basically worthless now. sigh.

misty: I love the old Xenadrine with the ephedra i lost 75lbs 45 of it was due to the xenadrine i kept it off for over 4 yrs.recently lost my thyroid and went back on the new stuff to lose wt. yeah...I HATE IT.

Cindy: I purchased Xenadrine RF1 and love it. I started taking the recommended dose 10/19/08. My appetite for food has increased alot. I am not a coffee drinker, so I guess that is why the amount of caffine the dose have in it, works for me. When I start craving - I take the recommended dose and my crave go away. Again, it works great for me.

michelle: Yeah, for me, the "new" formula Xenedrine can't even come close to the old stuff. This formula is just a whole lot of caffeine with no real fat burner. Plus i can't stand the anxiety and insomnia that is caused by this. It doesn't even work, on top of it all.

jade: hi, i have xenadrine efx in my shelf that i forgot. it expired already march 2007. is it still safe to take it though? it is only herbal but thought i'd ask first. your prompt reply is highly appreciated. thanks a lot.

journey: Has anyone tried Xenadrine Clinical? I'm looking for a weightloss product that doesn't raise your blood pressure. I've been to 4 different doctors and none of them will approve of over the counter weightloss products. I'm trying to lose these last stubborn 50 pounds.

zeb: Sad that u all use a drug to lose weight... i mean i think about it like everyone else, but i know its pointless... and has a better chance of killing u then helping u

Tammy: I tried Xenedrine and it worked for me.I used it for two or three months and I went from a size 3 pants to 0's and 1's and was amazed.I also watched what I ate . I believe it would work for any one if they will just watch what they eat, replace soda drinks with water, and some exercise.I LOVED IT!You should give it a try too.

A: This is not technically a review as I have never used this Xenadrine product . . . I just saw a commercial for this product and want to say that if they expect people to believe that the "very skinny blonde in the skimpy black bikini"'s weight loss is a direct result of this product, they should probably have selected a model who's tummy surgery scars are not quite so easily seen in the commercial, or maybe they should have applied more makeup to conceal them.

Daniella: I used to take the old Xenedrine and I remember being really good. I did it after my pregnancy I remember and was able to slim down pretty fast. That new one I have now is just (like a lot of you pointed it out) the same. It's very week and it's been already 2 weeks and I only lost one pound. I think I need to find something new. Does anyone know of anything good?

lala: omg i just bout this Xenadrine today and i was reading some of your gus comments and im kinda scared to take them now....i think im going to return them

Leslie: I loved Xenadrine, with or without the Ephedrine, I had energy and was even able to lose a few pounds, and now that I no longer take them, I've gained weight. When I could no long buy Xenadrine (efx) I started using something else and its just not the same. I'm not the type to try new things so I haven't tried their new product, afraid they won't work the same. I've heard that the amount of Ephedrine put in some of these products (that they did make) was not enough to really harm ur body.

Miranda: I so wish it worked for me but I only lost 3 pounds total! That's nothing at all. I had in mind i could lose over 20 pounds with Xenadrine. It just does not work.

rain: wow i wish i read all this before i went and bought Xenadrine ..that sucks..

amanda: I think it is stupid people are saying that Xenadrine did not help them lose weight...of course a pill will NEVER help you lose weight if they did there would be no fat people. What the pill does is give you INSANE amounts of energy to get your butt in shape by going to the gym and actually working out. Trust me I know, I take these pills every time I go to the gym, which is 5 days a week and yes I have lost weight.

Lesli: I bought xenadrine 2 days ago and started right away i have noticed a big difference in my eating i am not hungry anymore like i was. I have even dropped 2 pounds already. I have not exercised at all either. I think this product is great.

audrey: well you know, i hear what you're saying Amanda, however, based on what your saying, what is the difference between a diet pill and lots of Red Bull?? There are other diet pills that do more than just give you energy...I take one with Hoodia for appetite suppression. It doesn't even have any stimulants and its been working really well for me.

JS: I got this about one week ago, I do notice much more energy. I read most of these comments and I believe that if you are waiting for a wonder pill to make you lose weight..that isn't going to happen. However, a pill to help with the energy level to get you up and going i can accpet.. I'll wright later with my 6 week results!

Selene: The old one work and you saw results, The so called new one is a waste of time! Where can I Get something that works as good? We want the original back!!!!! - Xenadrine

tita: i want to know if xenadrine works

Kiki: Have been taking it since 4/10/09 and I love it! I feel like I have more energy and it does surpress my app! I have already lost 4 lbs!

scotty: Im on day four of useing xenadrine, It definatly gives you a boost and motivates me to get up and exercise. It also curbes my appetite ,I eat half of what I used to a nd feel full! I used the EFX brand a few years ago , there is a difference the new stuff dosent make me feel like I could wigg out and Im not nasty at the end of the day, so far ive lost 5 lbs or so. so we'll see how it goes?

JESSE: IVE BEEN USING THIS PRODUCT FOR 34 DAYS NOW AND IT HAS DONE NOTHING IN HELPING ME LOOSE WEIGHT OR HAS NOT GAVE ME ENERGY THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT WORK ,, ITS JUST A WAY FOR THE COMPANY TO GET RICH - Xenadrine

Jason: I agree with Amanda, you have the enenergy to work out and stay active. AND as mentioned on the bottle, if you ALSO include a better diet along with the exercise, you will lose the weight. I have lost 80 lbs. since last year and kept it off. If anything, Xenedrine is a helpful booster for anyone who watches what they eat and exercises!

Jodie: XENADRINE IS GREAT BEEN ON IT FOR 4 DAYS and already lost 9 Lbs. Its called get off your but and do something.

Amanda A.: I have just started taking Xenadrine and I have noticed that I am not as hungry. I do belive in exercice but I have not lost any weight in over two weeks and wanted something to help my reach my goal.

Anonymous: the negative add on tv about hateing everything about my butt and my body is terrible.and especially my thighs is really a turn off. I have to change the channel every time the depressing comercial comes on. ladies already want to die cause they are not a perfect- air bruched model. zenadrine addvertisement is not motivating to me

Anonymous: change the negative add on tv

Xenadrine®

Once upon a time, Xenadrine® contained Ephedrine, but when it was removed from the market for health concerns, its developer, Cytodyne Technologies, revamped its formulary to try to deliver fat burning capabilities without it. This is a situation many developers found themselves in at the time; some created effective products by incorporating top quality fat burners, such as Advantra-Z®, into the mix, while others relied heavily upon Caffeine in combination with stimulants to create results, which we feel is not the most effective avenue.

Many people have seen Xenadrine® on late night infomercials, in which individuals suggest that they have lost 20 lbs. or 30 lbs., or, in some cases, even more. However, these same sentiments and results have not been mirrored on consumer-driven rating sites, which have scored in incredibly low in terms of weight loss. In fact, some body builders who have used it reported that they felt that it did not create the promised results. That said, we look at these sites, but we also do our own independent research to ascertain a product’s true abilities.

 Ingredients At A Glance
Xenadrine® contains some of the following: Green Tea, Coca Extract, Yerba Mate, Pantothenic Acid, Bitter Orange, Guarana, White Willow Bark Extract, Ginger Root, Magnesium Phosphate, L-Tyrosine, Acetyl L-Carnitine, 3. 3',4', t-Tetrahydroxyflavone and DMAE (2-dimethylaminoethanol).

 Ingredients In Focus
Some of the elements used in this formulary, such as Yerba Mate, Grape Seed Extract and DMAE, may have some nominal use in augmenting weight loss, but our research finds they are likely not the cutting-edge elements this developer suggests they are. However, let’s take a look at a few of the more interesting ingredients in Xenadrine®.

Tyrosine and acetyl-l-tyrosine are both amino acids, which are said to play a vital role in mood. It is suspected that individuals who are deficient in these elements may become depressed or moody. Some developers, including this one, suggest supplementation may have a “positive effect on thyroid metabolism” However, the words “may” and “could” are often used, because there is little research at time of review to prove this supposition.

This formula also contains Phenylethylamine, Tyramine and Theobromine, which are commonly called "endogenous neuroamines”. These elements are all found in chocolate, and are believed to have mood-elevating abilities. For instance, in animal-based studies, Phenylethylamine was shown to boost attention and activity in animals; and in human studies it was shown to alleviate depression. However, none of these elements have been shown as of review to be heavy weight loss agents.

Green Tea is an extremely powerful antioxidant, and it has been shown to be great for overall health, as well as in increasing immune function and skin health. Green Tea started appearing in many weight loss products after Ephedra was removed from the market. It contains a good amount of Caffeine, as does Coca, which is also used in this formula. Green Tea is believed to have some low-level ability to augment fat oxidation by giving individuals a quick burst of themogenesis. However, many individuals have drank cup after cup of Green Tea, hoping to create long-term weight loss, and more often than not, they are disappointed. Also, Caffeine may have side effects for some people, including heart palpitations, nervousness and sleeplessness, as well as raised blood pressure.

 Diet Lifestyle
During the course of our research, we discovered that in 2005, the FDA sued the developers of Xenadrine® EFX “for making false and unsubstantiated claims about the effectiveness of the product”. It was also alleged by the FTC that many of the "endorsees" of this product, which were seen on TV, online and in magazines ads, had not really lost weight on Xenadrine®, but that they had used other, more hardcore diets and fitness regimens.

Also, while many sites simply post the testimonials received by individuals, the developers of Xenadrine® are alleged to have paid many of these individuals a great deal of cash. These are serious allegations, which have marred the credibility of all the products in the Xenadrine® product line. We strongly feel the fact that they had to rely on such outlandish techniques to draw in customers seriously compromises the likelihood that this product is effective.

 Positives
• Contains Green Tea, which is full of antioxidants
• Contains many mood enhancers


 Negatives
• The accuracy of their testimonials have been called into question
• Uses many potentially low-performing weight loss agents
• Scored very low on consumer-driven rating sites


 Final Thoughts
The fact that this developer has been sued because they used paid endorsees to provide them with testimonials, and that these individuals also did not actually use Xendrine to lose weight, is troubling to say the least. We tried to contact this developer through e-mail and phone to get a clearer idea of what had happened, but to date, we have not received a response. At this point, we see why so many individuals scored this product low in terms of customer service.

Also, after reviewing both this product’s formulary and the allegations surrounding this product line, we better understand the disappointment that people have expressed regarding the results, or lack of results, they have achieved. In the end, we feel there is no way we could recommend using this product, when there are other, more effective products available which are created by creditable developers.
