NO Meta-Fusion is the core of NO-Xplode. It is the catalyst
that makes the entire formula and its body altering and
mind enhancing effects possible. NO Meta-Fusion opens the
door to vaso-muscular enlargement by immediately ramping
up and sustaining Nitric Oxide (NO) levels. NO widens the
blood vessel, which in turn accelerates blood flow to the
muscle.
The
result? Your veins will stick out like a garden hose and your
muscles will be jacked up beyond belief. NO Meta-Fusion precision
delivers a powerful blend of the new muscle volumizing creatine
matrix that only NO-Xplode provides.

Good results with bad side effectsSeptember 16, 2011
Reviewer: Tony from Las Vegas, NV
I took this for one week and almost passed out at the gym from dehydration symptoms(increased heart rate, jittery hands and legs, blurry vision,nautious, and extremely weak). It says to take 5g's pre workout and 5g's post workout, in my opinion; this is way too much. I cut it down to half scoops (2.5g's pre & post workout) and the bad side effects decreased. Make sure you drink about 1 gallon of water and watch how much of this stuff you take n you should be fine. Overall great stuff, with the right amount.
good caffeine boost, but be carefulJuly 05, 2011
Reviewer: Jordan from Korea
i like this product because it gives me a boost. many people say it is the caffeine, but i am a heavy coffee drinker and this product is much, much stronger -- and different.
BE CAREFUL though: the settling of the product causes certain elements to float to the top, so if you don't shake it, the blue raspberry flavor is white, tastes horrible, and will ruin your sleep for two days.
I wrote a number of bad reviews of this product before I realized what I had done wrong. Then my drink was blue and delicious and while not quite as powerful, it did not attempt to kill me.

Reviewer: David Radigan from Sacramento, California
I usually get a good pump from it, the only bad thing i found about it is, immediately after taking it, i have to go and take a dump.
Bad for your heartJune 04, 2011
Reviewer: Ian Peterson from California
I recently tried this product . 1.5 scoops at 205 lbs. Within 10 min of starting to work out my heart rate had soared to nearly 200bpm. I am in excellent condition to start with. I consulted a cardiologist and was warned that as with energy drinks, he has seen cases in the ER due to this product and similar products. Theres a reason why the blend is not fully disclosed in many products.The extra pump and endurance are not worth an SVT A FIB or a full on heart attack.Many athletes have made great gains without NO EXPLODE or other products. Buyer BEWARE!!!!!
at your own risk, look for other stuff on the markedMarch 22, 2011
Reviewer: Yanick from canada
Hi, I used this product for about 4 months and I loved it. But one day as I was working out my heartbeat went so hard that I almost passed out. I am talking about a 1 serving scoop. It scared the shit out of me, I will never use that kind of stuff again even if I liked the increase strength (and little gain in size). It doesn't worth it, just eat better and don't forget timing is everything. fast and slow assimilating carbs 1-2 hour before with some water and it will do it. I just hope it didn't give me some permanent effect, I still have some irregular heartbeat. GOD I WISH I NEVER TOOK THAT CRAP.
Well..February 28, 2011
Reviewer: Oscar from Wroclaw, Poland
I just bought my container; so far tried it only times; here is some insight:
Humungous pumps; did my squats today and i must say i had trouble walking from the pump- awesome feeling..
Mental aspect- you feel like you can put on another 20% of your max and still lift it with ease.
Caf energy boost.. its definitely there; I'm personally very resistant to caf so I get a mild boost after 2 scoops however it doesn't last nearly as long as you would expect; basically you want to already have started your workout when the full effect kicks in ( 30-45 min )
As to strenght increase.. the creatine volume per scoop is a lil too scarce therefore if you're aiming for max performance, which you should, take it with your regular dosage of pre-workout creatine...
The only major drawback of noxplode is the fact Bsn wants you to take it on empty stomach ( 2 hours after your last meal ) im really skeptical when it comes to workout out on an empty stomach.
Summing up: definitely a good product, could contain a little more caf and creatine; I'd recommend it to a friend.
Oh.. if your looking for info on what the feeling is like.. I'd compare it to a mild-to-moderate adrenaline rush; I also get a feeling of dry eyes, probably due to the blood flow/pressure increase.

how i feel about itFebruary 05, 2011
Reviewer: Anonymous from Anytown, AT 55555
well i've been takeing NO Xplode for about a year and a half. now it's true don't take more than one scoop when your first trying it, and yes, if you do take a lot of it, the side affects make you feel sick cramps and wanting to throw up. But i feel that it's not actually that bad, i love it better then Jacked 3D and a couple other pre-workouts that i have tried. recently being stupid on my part i took 3 scoops during football workout and 3 scoops after school in the weight room but i added other pre-workouts giving me the feeling of wanting to passout....it is very dangerous if used how i just said....but alone i don't really see any problems....
Great ProductJanuary 30, 2011
Reviewer: Joshua Smith from Louisville, KY, USA
Three weeks into first bottle, and I'm loving NO Xplod. I take two scoops an hour before gym time, and I have to make myself stop, otherwise I just keep going. My focus at the gym has increased by quite a bit and my strength has already increased. I bought two bottles of it and cannot wait to see the complete results from NO Xplod.
Positives-Lots of energy, awesome pump, great focus
Negative-Twenty to thirty minutes after drinking, I am in the bathroom with diarrhea.
Best product on the market!!January 24, 2011
Reviewer: Matt Chandler from Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada
I have been trainging for the last 5 months, 6 days a week, and the size is really starting to show. I just started NO Xplode last week, and the pump is amazing!! So much energy and cant lift more. I take this about 30 minutes prior to my workout as recommended on the bottle, and by the time I hit the gym im ready to lift lots of weight!!
Love It!!January 06, 2011
Reviewer: Ronnie Coleman from Las Vegas, NV USA
A lot of people are saying negative things about this. I absolutely love it. About to go on my 3rd cycle. I swear by it, and also reccomend to all my friends.
P.S. The instructions on the bottle also say, "Consult a Physician before taking." No one with negative feedback mentions they did so.
Great Pumps, but not worth it.October 30, 2010
Reviewer: Jeremy from Payson, UT
If you're looking for great sustained energy, stronger pumps and mental focus this stuff is great. I have been on it for a little over a year. I am trying to get off it but keep finding myself taking it before my workouts. I really don't like to rely on supplements for my workout. Personally I feel better about myself knowing I got through a great workout on my own. this stuff does not work well with your body if you suffer from depression and/or you're on antidepressants. I have noticed significantly that it increases irritability/quick to anger and it also worsens my anxiety quite a bit. I took this stuff last night before my workout at about 7:30 pm. Woke up feeling very irritable and anxious. This stuff works great for that pump, but I feel it's not worth it in the long run.
calvinOctober 29, 2010
Reviewer: Calvin from usa
My buddy told me to use n.o.explode . I tried one scoop at 1:30 pm just at work and drove home I was buzzing untill 5:30pm.I went to the gym at 8:00pm I was worried about taking a scoop and staying up all night. But my buddy said it would burn off during the workout. Took one scoop and worked out....wow. focus and energy to go further than before .went to failure and paused and did some more. Left the gym at 9:45pm took a shower and went straight to bed , sleep all night no buzzing. Take only one scoop not 2 to 3 like the botlte says and don't use on off days.
For more than a yearOctober 18, 2010
Reviewer: Hishamovich from Anytown, AT 55555
I have been using no-xplode for more than a year and I suddenly stopped using it (decided to clean my blood) I experienced a severe body weakness, green urine, and green stool I couldn't move from bed for three days. I went to ER many times they said your body is detoxifying there nothing we can do. Always cycle out this product and all other products (some products need to do cycle them gradually). Give your body a chance to detoxify !
BEASTIN' OUT WITH XPLODEOctober 17, 2010
Reviewer: Nicky Ripped from SF BAY
I have worked out for 13 years now. I realize after much exp and time that for 8 of those years i was lifting inefficiently and dangerously. I recently decided to put on some size and only use Muscle Milk (high caloric content) and NO Xplode. After a 6 month leave of absence from the gym i stepped back into my group of lifter buddies and am holding my own. The pump is great! I feel like the extra blood in my muscles keeps me limber and prevents injury. NO XPLODE
N.O. Explode---No DoubtSeptember 16, 2010
Reviewer: Thornley from Caserma Ederle, IT
N.o. Explode is no doubt the most advanced kick a** pre-workout supplement on the market. Been training 2 years with the constant pumps and pull-ups like a monkey with a 40 lb plate. Unbelievable right. Been in the Marines since i was 17..Wouldn't go a damn day without it. Guaranteed

Think I took too much the first timeSeptember 11, 2010
Reviewer: Chefsid from cincy, ohio
got this product today have been taking bsn cellmass, glutamine, whey protein shakes, amino tablets, and multi vit, took one scoop portion waited 30 minutes didn't feel anything, took another scoop portion, started feeling the caffeine soon after, shakes, sweats, then during workout 30 minutes later noticed more reps and stamina in muscles but sweat like a pig, thought I was on speed or coke for a minute, later after workout took my cellmass recovery shake, 45 minutes later protein with glutamine, got a headache had it since 4 hours, will try 1/2 scoop next time if same side effects will return. I have noticed serious gains with just what I was taking before cause I lift like your supposed to. thought this would give me more results not sure will post back after I take it more, if side effects aren't that bad with smaller doses, cellmass has the same creatine ingredients without the caffeine, with glutamine (not enough), it is the bomb creatine and recovery drink! I was thinking the nitric (arginine) would help the blood flow I think it did we will see.
Too Much?September 01, 2010
Reviewer: Sean A. from Las Vegas
So I have been taking NO Xplode for a few months now. Currently, I have been taking 3 scoops 3 times a day. I love the intensity! I love the gains! I rep the F out!
I have been taking the Nitrix 3 pills 3x day in combination. Cell mass was recently introduced into the mix, and protein shakes and high protein meals are my normal diet.
I have noticed that water consumption is the single most important part of using A-AKG and Creatine. For those getting headaches.... This is why! Not enough water...
Unfortunately, my kidneys tend to let me know if I need water.This is my concern if I may possibly be taking too much...?
I rate BSN NO Xplode above anything I have tested to date!

This stuff is the bombJuly 14, 2010
Reviewer: Scott from Calgary, Alberta Canada
I've been lifting for about 7 years now but have restricted my supplementation to protein shakes only. I seem to be feeling tired more often. (I hate getting older) This is my second day on this product and I noticed a huge boost in endurance and focus. This stuff really works. If you are just starting on this product please make sure you start with small dose and work your way up. I would recommend 1/2 scoop to start. They really should make this more clear on the packaging. The first night I tried one scoop and waited a bit and then took another scoop...exactly as directed on the packaging. I started my workout around 9:30 pm after waiting 45 minutes. I felt great during my workout but was up until 3:30AM. Today I reduced the dose and tried one scoop. I still felt great during my workout and am actually feeling tired enough to go to bed after this post. Get to the point you say...the point is that you don't need a lot of this stuff to feel the results. Tomorrow I'm going to try 1/2 scoop. I think most of the negative comments here are simply due to improper dosing. I may change my mind if my head explodes in 4 weeks but for now it seems that dosage is key.
Good supplement, but not for meJuly 13, 2010
Reviewer: Brian from Texas
I started taking NO Xplode after it was recommended by a friend who was a muscle head. I took it and started seeing some pretty good results, I could lift for longer periods of time with more reps. After a couple of weeks are started getting really jittery during my workouts. I couldn't sit still, my hands shook (like when you have an adrenaline rush), and I couldn't focus. I stopped taking NO Xplode and right away the jitteriness stopped. That was the only side effect I experienced.
Good stuffJuly 08, 2010
Reviewer: Ashley from iraq (us army)
I am on deployment and work long hours so in the morning I was too drained to work out for very long and was miserable the whole time. Half a scoop 10 min before and I am feeling good during my cardio, I could go longer and enjoyed it as well. I work out daily but only take it every couple of days and I can tell that my endurance is increasing even on days I dont take it. I do mostly cardio and it helps a lot with the tiredness I feel from my asthma as well. I haven't had any problems with overdoing it as far as my asthma is concerned. Only problem I had is one time I was on the eliptical for 30 min and my HR suddenly dropped to the 80s/90s and stayed that way for 10 min (I was still working out/hadnt stopped). I felt fine though.
Works in the gym but kills my body.July 07, 2010
Reviewer: FRANK M from Colorado
I work graveyard shifts and i needed something that can help me wake up and go to the gym energized after work. So i bought NO-Explode. This stuff really makes you energized even after your working all night. Honestly i didnt see any improvement at the gym. I feel like i was still lifting the same. I only take 1 1/2 scoops. I experienced very bad chest pains after the 3rd week . All i want to say to others who want to try this, is that this product works BUT i Never felt that pump that EVERYONE always says on the reviews for this product. Honestly its not worth it especially for your body. Yur just killing yourself inside your body using this product. To me pump is all in the head when you hit the gym. "Wanting it for the right reason is the real pump in your heart" Use NO-Shutgun!!!!!
HeadacheJuly 03, 2010
Reviewer: John from California
I have had the same issue as Mike from Las Vegas below.
After taking this about 8 weeks, I got a terrible sharp headache one day a the gym during a lift, which goes away once my heartrate goes back down.
But now, every time my heartrate goes back up, the headache comes back. I've missed 4 days at the gym now. Pushups at home will cause the headache.
Anyone else? I'm a bit worried.
Mike, you posted in 2007, what ended up happening with you? I'm going to see a doctor if this continues.
?June 30, 2010
Reviewer: Anonymous from Anytown, AT 55555
??? I Don't know where this guy is getting his sources saying that one scoop contains the same amount of caffeine as 50 cups of coffee. that is equivalent to around 5,000 mg of caffeine. You would probably die in an instant if that were true.. However i do not believe it is. I have read in several places that one scoop of NO Xplode contains about 100mg of caffeine. Not 5,000!
First tryJune 22, 2010
Reviewer: Elias from Haymarket Virginia
Hi, i'm 17 and i lift weights all the time, i have already taken a lot of supplements and YESTERDAY was my first NO XPLODE DAY ! now i'm not here to make an advertisement for this product so i'm gonna give you what it does straight up:
So 17 i am 5'9 and weigh 147 approx
took: 1 exact scoop
results: i let it settle in but i never knew when it was actually working on me, like i didnt really know if i was supposed to wait more or if it was working itself
i waited 45 min since 45 is a sweet spot !
So vascularity ? did my veins pop out NO ! not really i mean i didnt notice
FOCUS ?? hell yeah dude i was like "the gym is not gonna kill me...i'm gonna kill the gym"
PUMPS ? i don't know what you guys call pumps really but i'l say that when doing sudden flexes it was easier to push the weghts so i'd say YES
bigger size ? obviously not it's been my first day and today will be my second, so i will keep you guys posted in two weeks
umm other than that oh yeah TASTE ??
fruit punch is like.....FIZZY KOOLAID LOL yeah its nice and sour but i'm sure it's delicious when fresh so im gonna add ice cold water next time =)
overall: i'm really happy with this product but i look forward to it's real effects in 2 weeks, i want to see those veins burst !!! i want that bigger muscle and i already can tell you....NO XPLODE is gonna get me that boost !!!! OH AND one more thing: the energy??? YES you feel great after workout... you stay sharp and to be honest i wanted to go back in the gym !!
so there you go..an HONEST review by someone who tells you the way things were !!!
Huge improvement in workout energy, bad side effectsJune 14, 2010
Reviewer: Tyler from Edmonton, AB CANADA
I just finished my first tub of NO XPLODE taking anywhere between 1-2 scoops pre workout max. I noticed a huge difference in my workouts from the start, as well my veins and muscles pumped up and stayed inflated for several hours after. Unfortunately I also had horrible shakes, heart palpitations, couldn't sleep properly, woke up exhausted and felt like I was constantly on edge. I lowered my dose to 1 scoop for the remaining week and a half and the side effects did lessen as well, however I decided to give it another shot and buy another tub yesterday. I was very tired so prior to my workout I decided to try 2 scoops again at approximately 430pm. I tried to goto sleep at 10pm but tossed and turned all night, my heart was racing severely, and today I am exhausted. I had a full body physical at 830 am this morning where I was getting checked out to see if I was in good enough condition to run a physical abilities test for work (The PARE test for those of you who live in Canada), however when the nurse took my pulse she told me my heart was racing and the beat was very irregular, I tried to explain that these are side effects of NO XPLODE but she did not pass me to take the test as she said having this much caffeine on top of intense physical activity can cause a heart attack....not worth it boys and girls, and if you choose to take it, assess your tolerance and DON'T go beyond it no matter how good it makes your workouts feel.
HospitalizedJune 09, 2010
Reviewer: NYX from Fort Lauderdale, FL
I biked 5 miles every morning for years and felt I needed an extra boost. I bought NO Xplode and gave it a try. First day it tasted good and within 30 minutes I felt a warm feeling. The first week I had good rides and felt like I was making good progress. Then one day on the second week I was just going into my last mile I felt stomach cramps. No big deal I thought, I'm almost done anyway. Well, by the last half mile I almost passed out. Walked home with severe lower abdominal pain. Next two days was passing blood and was admitted to the hospital with intestinal bleeding. What happened was all the blood flow was redirected to muscles and deprived the intestines which caused immediate damage. Can I say for sure that Xplode was responsible? No. But I also can't say it didn't play a part. Now...what I can say is be careful and don't over do it like I did. I think Xplode may have even made me over confident and I simply pushed my workout too hard. That's not the products fault but a supplement this effective without some kind of guidance or careful planning can lead to some serious health problems. By the way, I healed in a couple of days and I now work out at the gym where I can monitor myself better. I don't use Xplode anymore and although I miss it, I am not brave enough to add it back into my diet and risk repeating that episode.

Worked for meMay 05, 2010
Reviewer: Anonymous from Anytown, AT 55555
I took NO xplode and cellmass for 6 months. I gained 15 pounds of muscle and was able to work out like an animal no matter how tired I was. These products combined produce great results. HOWEVER, considering the lack of research and testing on this and other supplements, I decided that it is completely NOT worth taking it. I try to only eat whole, organic foods, and I avoid meat as much as possible (I eat it 2-3 times a week). Considering the fact that I am so careful to eat healthy, I realized that it was totally NOT worth taking NO xplode. I have been working out for 6 months without taking any supplements or protein powders (protein powder is bad for you in that our bodies are not meant to take in so much protein so quickly; therefore it puts a strain on your organs and hurts you long term). The difference is that I am NOT as big and my workouts are shorter and slightly less intense. But I still make gains and am in great shape. My advice is that if you are not a professional athlete or bodybuilder, do yourself a favor and have some Ezekiel cereal with organic soy yogurt (soy protein helps with NO production) and black coffee with a little cinnamon before your workout. Its all your body really needs. If you dont care about your health and are willing to risk increased heart rate, blood pressure, kidney/liver damage, and who knows what else, go natural and pump yourself up by not being a pussy and being mentally tough.

Reviewer: Marko from NC,USA
I have been using a different brand of NO and can't wait to try BSN. The other brand has worked but is too pricey. I just got back into lifting for about 60 days now and have seen positive results with only headache but rarely now. Last night i took it too close to my workout but when the NO hit later I could not stop. I had lifted seriously several years ago with nowhere the results I have get now with NO!

I'm a 56 year old retire Army SFC who has been lifting for 35 years. When I turned 50 I noticed a definite decrease in energy, weight and reps. I just chalked it up to age. I've always taken supplements ie. creatine, protein, but recently I started taking No Xplode. Noticed immediate results. More energy,increase distance running, increase weight and reps. For now can honestly say graet supplement.

I am 67inch high and only 170lbs. For the size that I am I have never pushed a lot of weight beach press DB are only 55lbs 10 reps all three sets anyways I took no explode for about two week I went from 55lbs DB to 70 in only two weeks and I only do chest on Mondays so for me this is quite an improvement and today I will try to get the 75lbs up see what happens. My body became accustomed to the one scoop a so I am now at two. Today since I am going to try the extra 5lbs I am going to do 2 ½ scoops to see how I feel. But this product dose give you that extra edge I would say if you are not feeling the pump to put a little more in. this product has not given me any side effects and at my work I get random drug test in the military and nothing pops up.
LIsten up!March 12, 2010
Reviewer: Jacob Youshia from Ontario, Canada
I am 17 years old and have been working out for a couple of years and getting decently jacked. i decided to try this product to see if it would give me that extra edge to get over my recent plateau. I used it and didn't see the instant energized feeling that some other people did but defiantly noticed a better pump as well as being able to do more reps and very little fatigue, one of the only times i have kept a very h im igh intensity throughout my whole workout, usually i slow down towards the end. with bigger muscles like chest, back, and legs i noticed a better pump but it wasn't a HUGE difference where i was like omg, but with the smaller muscles such as bi's. tri's, and forearms i noticed a WAY better pump and what i mean by that is i haven't left the gym with my tri's feeling so raped in a long time. Good product, read directions, be careful, ALWAYS listen to your body incase you get negative side affects however i have not experienced any....yet

This is going to sound freaky, but hey. I have been dragging in my workouts so I ordered some to give it a try. Following the instructions, yesterday I took one scoop on a non-training day to assess my tolerance. I felt really awake, my GF of over a year happened to come over, and we had the hardest sex we've ever had, as she put it. Coincidence? I took it again a few hours ago and had a great workout. I think it just gets me amped up, probably just what I needed to get me going.
my opinionFebruary 16, 2010
Reviewer: Tyler from houston, tx
i take no xplode from time to time when i reach a plateau and need to get over it. it is awesome. i am 6' 220 pounds and i take about a scoop and a half two scoops on an empty stomach. i start stretching about 15 min after and can hardly finish. i get so much energy for cardio and when lifting weights, i get extreme pumps. it helps gets the heart going and fills your veins with more oxygen which is needed and helpful when exercising. yea... u might get the runs and a burning butt hole, but once ur body gets used to the supplement that goes away. i recommend it to everyone... just read the warning labels and directions and dont be stupid.

Reviewer: JAKE from minneapolis, MN
i have gone through one jar of NO now and in the beginning it was sketchy. but just listening to your body and reading the directions there is no way you can go wrong with this product.
i consume 2-3 scoops about 40min before my workout and it always keeps me in the zone. so much so that its hard for me to stop working out. i do lifting and cardio usually in the same workout session.
WELL WORTH IT!!!
Great energy and dizzyJanuary 26, 2010
Reviewer: Rockin_The_LZ from Iraq before, now Europe
I tried NO Xplode and found the following. First a quick history. I have been working out hard core for 6 months doing 3 weeks at 7 days a week with a week off (with some cardio) and then back on the weights. I was taking whey and casein protein shakes, hydroxycut hardcore (the old one, not the new one) and creatine along with a good diet and a lot of water. This was gangbusters for me but I wanted a bit more, so, NO Xplode.
So, I quite the hydroxy and creatine but I am still doing the protein shakes. I am working out 5 times a week (chest, back, legs, chest, back, etc...) and have no issues. I take NO Xplode and go to the gym and WOW! I realize, when I am done, that not only did I increase my weights without much issue but I just blasted through my workout in about 3/4 time without even knowing it. Friggin amazing. Problem is, the reason why I realized it is because at the end of my workout, after just blasting out massive dips, I got on a treadmill to do some cooldown cardio for 15 minutes and about fell out. Got tunnel vision right after pushing the start button and my temples got kinda cold and I was sure I was going to hit the ground. I stepped off the treadmill and had a seat with my head down until feeling better, got some more water, walked it off, went home and trashed the rest of the brand new bucket of NO Xplode. Not worth it in my opinion.
About N.O. XPLODE!January 20, 2010
Reviewer: Erick V. from Los Angeles, CA
I'm going into my 3rd week on N.O. xplod, and I have to say wow! When I first started taking it I felt like a lion in the gym, but now that I've been taking it my body has gotten used to it. One of the best things I like about it is that it keeps me mind focused when I'm in the gym, so the only thing I'm thinking about is the next rep! not the pretty ladies, thats til after! lol
The only side effect I've noticed is that it gets me all jittery. But for only taking it two weeks I feel stronger! and the results are amazing. I take this 30 mins before my workout. I'm also taking True mass by BSN which combines perfectly with N.o. xplod! So with a strict diet, alittle help from these supplements, and a killer workout of 30-60 mins a day 4-5 days a week, you will get incredible results! BUT REMEMBER THE KEY IS CONSISTENCY!
a little goes a long wayJanuary 20, 2010
Reviewer: Russ williamson from Vancouver B.C. Canada
when I first started using this product, I followed the directions and eased into it by just using one scoop and working my way up to two or three. I was getting serious jitters and upset stomach with 2 or 3 scoops so I went down to one-half scoop and never got upset or jittery and it was the perfect amount for me. So I do believe in this product. Now I get awesome pumps. I think it comes down to listening to your body.I will continue to use this product. Thanks
Not very goodJanuary 18, 2010
Reviewer: Chuck from chicago,IL
This stuff did not work for me at all. I take all three scoops and I still do not feel anything. I used superpump 250 before this and it worked amazing and I only used about half of the recommended amount each time. It was also cheaper. Im just trying to get rid of this stuff so I can go back to it.

NO2 SupplementJanuary 07, 2010
Reviewer: Jay from Toronto, ON
I actually tried No Product first and it gave me a serious rush, pump and gains in the gym, but I had a horrible time getting sleep and worst of all it gave me some sort of erctyle dysfunction. I stopped using it right away and havent been the same since, I mean i am still ok, but I have defantely lost a step in that area. Moreover, Its been about three months and I wanted to give an No Product a try again, because I figured it might have been an issue with just that brand soI decided to try No-Explode and the first day that i took I had a serious head rush. It gave me alot of energy, but once again too much caffene I couldnt sleep at night and for the second time the erectyle disfunction. I figured since everyone raved about this product, that i wouldnt get the same negative effects as I did with other NO Products, but still the same thing. For some people it probably works great and it did give more energy and longer lasting pumps. However, the side effects are not worth it.
Makes working out funJanuary 05, 2010
Reviewer: IdowhatIwant from DC, USA
I've been taking NOXPLODE for about two years off and on. I'm not real sure of the benefits other than it makes working out more fun. My Boss is a fitness body builder so I gave her some to try and she loved it. Said she was going harder in the gym than she had in a long time. I only take it before I lift. I don't take it before cardio except swimming. Another interesting aspect for me as an ADD kinda guy is that I need some music while I'm lifting or I can sometimes Zone out like on Ritalin or something. Other than that, every person I have recommended this product to has loved it. Good luck in the gym.
WHAT ARE YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT??January 05, 2010
Reviewer: Rodney from Australia
I have been using this product for 6 months FOLLOWING THE DIRECTIONS!! as some people here forget to do. I have nothing but a great response from this product. NO diarrhea. NO heart palpitations. NO headaches. A little sleepless on occasions when I take it too late but that's what it says it will do on the bottle and was expected.
I have become a little immune to the effects of the product but also to be expected with long term exposure to the same ingredients. It works great for me. I can punch through those tough cardio and weight sessions. This product has more applications in the gym believe me. I'm a sprinter...this product is perfect to get my legs pumping harder, faster and longer. It is a little pricey in Australia but as long as it works ill pay for it.
Overall, I've had a great experience with this product which is surprising after all the bad reviews on it. I personally think that it has some actual health benefits despite all the review. You can only try it and see i guess.
WON'T GO TO THE GYM WITHOUT ITJanuary 02, 2010
Reviewer: Seth from Milwaukee, WI
First off, I'd like to start by saying that BSN makes the BEST products, hands down. I started taking NO XPLODE right after I completed my physical therapy. I got into a car accident and broke both my lower leg bones. After a few months of not being able to excercise, I was lazier than ever. I used to play College football and was in excellent shape. I slowly lost all my muscle definition, and was weaker than ever. I started back up at the gym while using a line of BSN products. I take 2 scoops of NO XPLODE about 45 minutes to an hour before I even step foot in the gym. Before I even start lifting, my veins bulge like crazy. I am stronger than ever and can run for very long periods of time at a very fast pace without getting fatigued. I just capped a 5:30 mile and was ready to do another back to back. I can tell it makes my heart race and makes me feel like the hulk.
Now, I also have to credit the other products that I have been taking. I use Cell Mass, Syntha 6, Axis HT, and Atro Phex. Make sure you drink a lot of water with these products. I noticed that if I don't drink enough water, I tend to get minor kidney pain and a stronger heart beat. Only once did I feel like I was having a heart attack, that's how hard my heart was beating. However, I only blame myself. I didn't drink any water that day and that was the problem cause I haven't had that problem since. I have dropped 10 lbs of fat and can really notice the muscle starting to pile on very quick. I recommend these products hands down.

Great productDecember 08, 2009
Reviewer: Chris R from Chicago, IL
I've been taking NO Explode (on and off) for about six months. Personally I think going to the gym without it is a waste of time. There is one major side effect for me. Even though I'm immune to caffeine by now, I can't fall asleep til 1am or 2am after taking it.
well worth the moneyDecember 03, 2009
Reviewer: Coop from Louisiana
Great product. For me I give it all thumbs up. Taken correctly, this product can help you exceed in the gym. A combination of serious lifting and dedicated attention to keeping your muscles off guard with your workout routine you will definitly feel and see a gain. I recommend this product to those that don't have a sensitive stomach.
Is it worth the risk?November 30, 2009
Reviewer: Jeff from So Cal
I have been taking NO Xplode for about 3 weeks now. I take 1 scoop of this supplement 4x a week about 30 minutes prior to arriving at the gym. The Good: increased performance during lifting. I added more weight and performed more reps with good endurance. The Bad: a little dizziness, stomach upset that caused me to run to the bathroom several times during my workouts. 1/2 scoop seems to still be effective for me, but I'm always thirsty, no matter how much water I drink. I feel that this product has great potential, but I'm not sure that I will continue use, due to the side effects.
unreal results but...October 06, 2009
Reviewer: Nathan crowe from Tn
Well alot of these reviews had me scared before I took no, but I thought I would give it a try because you never know who is wring the review, could be someone from bsn or from another company trying to take sales away. Anyway I took it for the second time today the first day was sunday and i forgot the gym didnt open till 1am so i really wasted that scoop. But today i took around 1/2 scoop the left i was at the gym in 10min so i figured by the time in warmed up it would start working but I didn't notice anything on my second set so I though well it's either not working or I didn't take enough so I just gave up and started my 3rd set and man what the heck. I went up from 20 to 60Lbs on everything, and could have done more but I didn't want to push it. The only problem with it was even when I first took it today I was real nervous and my heart rate was up before I even swallowed it because of alot of neg reviews but I did have a flushing in my face and my face got real hot but it didn't change colors. So I don't known why that happened but I do know I've never seen anything that could make you lift that much more and it wasn't do to mentallity because I was real nervous afraid I would have a bad effect with my heart so today was my best physical workout but mentally wasn't good. If I can get it in my head that I'm not going to have something happen to me heart from no It is no telling how much ill be lifting.
Recommend it!September 28, 2009
Reviewer: Randy from Canada
After my summer diet of strictly beer and junk i lost pretty much all of my muscle and tone. I started on no xplode about 2 weeks after i got back into the gym (5 days a week). My problem is sometimes i'll be sitting down and contemplating whether i want to lift or not. i'll take 2 scoops of no xplode and in 45 mins i'll be stoked on getting to the gym. no contemplation. i'm a fairly caffeine sensitive person so if you;re like me don't take this stuff close to bed time. i took it at 630 pm and was pumped until 1 in the morning. i'm taking anabolic halo as well which kinda counteracts the post gym excitement so i'm not having problems sleeping after a week of it. i've got muscle mass back, crazy pumps, and am just super stoked on lifting. i highly recommend it even with the price. also i havent experienced any of the gastrointestinal discomfort some users talk about. its a solid product all in all
Love the stuff- great energySeptember 22, 2009
Reviewer: Bbottle from OH, USA
I currently circuit train, switching between running and supersets of one particular muscle group three to four times per week. After taking no-xplode once I noticed great gains in energy, focus, and pumps. I added 5 pounds per arm in curls immediately and went up one weight group in every exercise immediately. My endurance while running was improved significantly as well. Now I really WANT to get back in the gym to take this farther! This was on two scoops (I only weigh 155)- I did one scoop on an off-day with no side effects.
I cycled directly from CS FastTwitch to this. I liked FT and plan to cycle between the two but I must say that right now NO XPLODE provided the best results (perceived) so far.
Tastes good, no headaches so far (I'm also caffeine-sensitive), and no digestion problems. Drink WATER WATER WATER on this or any creatine/caffeine/NO2 product! These products are NOT completely safe- hydrate properly and be cautious while enjoying their benefits!

Works wellAugust 18, 2009
Reviewer: Matt from winnipeg, canada
Been taking NO Xplode for a bit now and have found the product to be worth every penny. I haven't experienced any side affects that other people have said on here, "Headaches, fatigue, twitching, sexual problems, etc." I was out of town for a few weeks so i couldn't take N.O, and still nothing out of the ordinary.
With the product i increased my cardio time and increased my weights. Lost a significant amount of weight and building muscle. I also didn't experience that huge "shock" u get when u first take it, but i felt it gradually, being more foocused and able to push myself longer and harder.
It worked for me, but doesn't mean the same for everyone, so please consult your doctor before using this product.
Thanks

I've been using NO for sometime now and when it says once you try it youll never train without it, its not lying. I have nothing bad to say about this supplement, its helped me add so much. it actually doesnt taste bad at all, i prefer fruit punch, if you use about 6-7oz of water per scope.
Took for the first time todayAugust 12, 2009
Reviewer: JD from Philly
I was able to add 20 lbs to my lift without any problem off the bat, wihtout any food in my stomach. The stuff tastes kinda shitty, but I've had worse. I'm going to take it 3 days a week for a month on the days I do legs/shoulders, chest/back, and bi's/tri's.
I started drinking it 30 minutes before going to the gym and was completely fired up within 15 minutes. I'll probably take 10 minutes before lifting before hand so that I get that first big rush right as I start lifting. It works well, and I'd reccommend it to others. I'd also reccommend drinking this before going out partying....this stuff will make you fired up!!!!

Good for medium-term pumpAugust 08, 2009
Reviewer: Matti from Australia
Benefits: Helps you get pumped for a session. I find that I really do push hard when i take this product. It wakes me up and gives me that lil' bit extra in pushing out the last one or two reps that i would otherwise have not bothered doing.
Disadvantages: Gas. Yep - you will fart with this product. Not uncontrollably - more like after eating 15 prunes!
I didn't get any other side affects. No dizziness, no feeling sick, no headaches, no loss of apetite.
I would recommend this product for people who just want the extra boost for a few weeks. Personally, i don't plan to use it more than a few weeks because at the end of the day, it's a bunch of chemicals.
Good luck to all who plan to take it.
BeneficialAugust 05, 2009
Reviewer: Hammer from Hershey, PA
It helps somewhat in terms of giving you more energy and focus in your workout. You have to cycle it every few weeks because your body gets used to the caffeine (caffeine dehydrates you by the way so drink alot of water) and it loses its effects. I tried stacking it with Animal M Stak, Animal Stak 2, and Creatine, which if cycled produced amazing results.

? Blood pressure increaseJuly 24, 2009
Reviewer: John from Ireland
I have to question wether this is the cause of your BP increase. Nitric oxide (and nitrates in general)are potent vaso-dilators ie. they increase the volume of your blood vessels. This increase in space actually DROPS blood pressure. Nitric oxide is used widley in the medicine for this very purpose. So I doubt this product will cause any BP increase.

Reviewer: Sly from Santa Ana, CA
I have been using this product for about 8 weeks. I have seen great results from this product. Before I started using this product I used to max out at about 15 pounds on each side when I bench pressed. After 8 weeks I'm maxing at 55 pounds on each side. I actually improved each week, lifting more for each exercise. I've also gone from running 2 miles to 7 miles during this 8 weeks. I recommend this product, i take it half hour before my lifting/cardio workout. Te only side effects I noticed is after a day of drinking and eating junk food, its cleans out your system and you feel a bit light headed
pretty good so farJuly 21, 2009
Reviewer: Dom from united states, MI
I read alot of reviews on this product and decided to go and buy a trial version of it for just $10 to see what it was like...So far im halfway through my trial and its pretty good. I get a good rush of energy and it lasts for awhile through myy workouts. Instead of slowing down at the end of the set or my entire workout it gives me the energy to finish out strong. Its no miracle supplement and you do have to put in the work but so far its well worth it. I've read about it making you plateau, anybody wanna comment on that? Im only taking it on days i lift not days i do cardio so basically 3 times a week. No complaints this far so if your looking to try it, go to bsnonline.com and buy the trial for just $10...its worth it!

Had HORRIBLE chest pains afterwards!July 11, 2009
Reviewer: Anonymous from California, USA
I have taken it once (6/25) and the first time I took it, I had no problems.
The second time I took it (7/09), I felt fine and all until 30 min. later. I could not work out because the pain in my chest was unbearable. I was also dizzy and threw up! Before taking the NO-Xplode, I was feeling great and energetic.
The chest pains went away the next day (7/10) or so I thought. When I tried doing my other type of exercises I couldn't do it because my chest was hurting.
Now (7/11) I have pains because I didn't realize that my chest was trying to recover yesterday (as I thought my chest was fine.) I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT EVEN TO MY WORST ENEMY!!

I'm on my second cycle of using NO Xplode currently, and it's a great product! As advertised, I get more pump with my workout, more focus, and more motivation. I don't get the stomach cramps, headaches, or any of the other side effects that have been previously stated. My only "complaint" would be that I feel like I've build up a tolerance for it. However, my workouts do not show that at all. I still see gains on a weekly basis! It's a great product and I would recommend it to anyone!

Good Results, Scary Side EffectsJune 24, 2009
Reviewer: Max from Washington, DC USA
I've been lifting regularly for about 8 years and have tried various supplements. I have gone through three or four containers of NO Xplode in the past few years just because I think it is a relatively effective supplement. I was pleased with the pump and the feeling of greater strength, energy, and stamina. I think this supplement also effects me more strongly because I'm sensitive to stimulants and don't regularly drink caffeine. Anyway, unfortunately, even though I did put on some solid weight, I not only built a tolerance quite quickly, I felt some pretty scary heart palpitations after my workouts. I also felt really light headed and frequently short of breath even hours after workouts. I also had an unquenchable thirst, which obviously got annoying. Overall, I was pleased with the results I saw while using NO, which is why I've used it a few times. It really just comes down to the unpleasant side effects that quite frankly scared the shit out of me time and time again, which is why I'm staying away from this one in the future.

I have been using NO XPlode for 5 months and it works great. I get a non stop 2 hour workout out of it with huge pumps and a controllable amount of energy. I take 2 1/2 to 3 scoops before every workout and cycle of for 2 weeks every 5 weeks otherwise you really do build a tolerance. I have had diarrhea a couple of times but as with any product your body will react in some way. Make sure you drink ALOT of water during and after your workouts if you are taking N.O. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a huge workout boost. Plus it gives you pipelines for veins.

update from using it 8 weeks ago...May 27, 2009
Reviewer: Havoc from Chicago, IL
You can find my preview review from 04/02/09 further down. (this is an update)
Well after 8 weeks on this stuff I saw gains in my workout that I've never seen before ever. My muscles finally started to stay "fit/muscular looking" and their own I guess this is new muscle growth and I am now at new levels as far as pushing new max weight.
If you need to know I took 2 scoops at 4:55am before my 3 strength training days (arrive at gym at 5:15am) and 1 scoop for my 2 HIIT cardio days (I also hit a new max speeds on the tread). I did not take any of it during my off days so I wouldn't build a tolerance + I didn't see a point in taking it on my off days if I wasn't going to work out.
I understand that this product will affect everyone differently just like some people love and hate the movie Watchmen. The only reason is gave it 4 1/2 as opposed to a perfect 5 stars was because on my last dosage I was at the end of the tub and was able to crank out 3 scoops (the most I ever tookd!) before my Chest/Tricep workout...well after about an hour I felt the cramps that some reviewers had mentioned luckily it was on my final set of flies and I had to rush home and the XPLOSION took place on the toilet, lol. So this product literally went out with a bang.
I am now going to try out a small tub of Superpump250 and see how that compares after I am done with the Superpump250 I am going on an off cycle for about 3 months. So read my review on Superpump250 in the next few days and I'll also have a follow up at the end of it, good luck!

I have been using NO Xplode for about 6-7 months now and the affects are really noticable especially since i never drink coffee or any caffiene intensive drinks!! Pumps are unbelievable and the veins do pop!! you can really dig deep and get that extra jolt for your workout! On the down side....when you cycle off the product...you get sooooo lazy during your workouts!!! and not to mention the Shits!! :) Overall I would say this helped me alot on getting over that plateau!! plus I think it is much better than taking GH and pro hormones etc!!!
RHYS HOW ABOUT YOU STFU. THIS PRODUCT SAYS IT WILL MAKE MY VEINS STICK OUT LIKE GARDEN HOSE. THIS IS A LIE. IT MAKES MY SHIT SHIT STICK OUT OF MY ASS INSTEAD. AND MY MUSCLES WERE NOT JACKED UP BEYOND BELIEF LIKE THE FALSE ADVERTISEMENT SAYS. INSTEAD OF GARDEN HOSE VEINS AND JACKED UP BEYOND BELIEF MUSCLES I GET THE DIARRHEA AND THE FARTING. NOW I NEED TO GET BACK TO MY PUMPS.
Works okMay 16, 2009
Reviewer: Rhys from Wales UK
It does work. Start on one good scoop and find out your tolerance to avoid toilet runs like some people mentioned. Also drink water immediately after and throughout workout. STIR DONT SHAKE when mixing to avoid gas generation. Take on a fairly high carb diet, but on a fairly empty stomach, for maximum results. Gives extra energy and a little extra strength. If your on 10 other supplements and drink 25 cups of coffee/red bull a day already, it might not do much for you. which is just as well as your heart is probably fcked!

TruthMay 02, 2009
Reviewer: Mark from Danville, CA
First off, this product DOES work, I want to make that perfectly clear. I can't speak for long term experience with the product but the effects are very apparent.
Pretty amazing pump, there is no denying that, especially if you are training for the pump, which is great if you're looking more muscle volume.
I have not experienced any lack of breath, heart palpations or other serious side effects.
HOWEVER, the side effects that I experienced were: the lack of ability to sleep, I'm up till 6-10am if I take it before an evening gym session; and you will be visiting the Jon a few times in the hours following consumption as it starts to exit your system. This product DOES in fact contain a high amount of Taurune and Caffeine and B Vitamins which give you an immensely noticable boost. I have not ever taken energy drinks, so it hit me particularly hard.
Reading the other reviews made me a bit nervous however, so I'll be limiting my consumption. EVERYTHING IN MODERATION. don't take three scoops and wonder why you feel like you're going to have a heart attack, follow the directions on the package and you should be just fine! Hope this helps!
BAD PRODUCTApril 27, 2009
Reviewer: ThebigMIKE from USA
This product did not live up to all the hype. The first time i took one scoop and and i could definitely feel it. I was all excited untill the second week when two scoops didnt affect me at all. It would just upset my stomach and give me the gitters. Disliked it so much i gave half my bottle away. Way to expensive for such little proformance. Try animal pump. 100 time better for a cheaper price. BSN is over rated

hello everyone i have been taking NO EXPLODE for a few days. i dont know why but i dont feel any different... i started taking 2scoops i stil dont fell anything... does that mean i should go with 3scoops...>
awesome workout, not worth the nauseaApril 23, 2009
Reviewer: JB from Texas, USA
Heard the hype, went ahead and tried a free sample had an AMAZING workout but within 2 hours had stomach cramps like crazy. Only took about half a scoop. Maybe I'm allergic to something in it? Seems like a lot of other people have this same side effect. It was pretty miserable, overall not worth it for me. key here is start small (I thought I did, I was WRONG) and don't just wait half an hour and think you're fine like the instructions say.
AWESOME BUT AT WHAT PRICE?April 21, 2009
Reviewer: JOE from HOUSTON
I STARTED TAKING THE STUFF AND LOST 40 LBS IN A MONTH. IT PUSHED ME TU RUN FROM ONE MILE TO SIX MILES. I ALSO STARTED SEEING VEINS THAT I HAD NOT SEEN SINCE MY LATE TEENS. HOWEVER I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE DIZZINESS ANS SENSE TO FAINT. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I HAVE CHEST PAINS AND FEEL LIKE PASSING OUT. I ONLY TAKE ONE SCOOP EVERY OTHER DAY M,W,F. I WOULD RECOMMENDED IT AS LONG AS YOU ARE NO FEELING THESE SIDE EFFECTS. I LOVE THE STUFF BUT MY LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT. WHAT GOOD IS A GREAT BODY IF IT'S UNDER SIX FEET?
READ THE LABELApril 20, 2009
Reviewer: S from South Carolina
For the people who have bad side effects read the label. Its there for a reason. You should not take it more that 3 MONTHS. So if you cant read then dont leave a bad review. This product is great. I used one bottle of it. The first workout after that, i didn't even finish my set. If you are serious about working out take this, and READ THE LABEL.
Great supplementApril 16, 2009
Reviewer: Sweettooth from SC, USA
N.O Xplode at first will give an amazing workout. Your focus will be better, and you feel like you could rip a freakin tree outt've the ground. Be forwarned, you MUST*** cycle this stuff on and off. And don't be afraid of cutting down how much you have. Understand that this product DOES contain caffiene. If you have heart palpatations or anything Weird from taking this, stop and ask yourself if extra weight is worth having a stroke from. Keep it to 1 scoop a day, and then cycle off and on every other week. Trust me, you'll still get AmAzing gains while controlling you're central nervous system.
AWESUM PUMP BUT...April 13, 2009
Reviewer: Greg from Perth, WA AUSTRALIA
This gives an awesume pump. Go into the gym, lookin all normal and leave twice the size with massive veins!
The recovery is just amazing. all you want to do is lift extremely heavy weights.
I cycled off this product for about a month after using a tub of it. But when i opened the shaker bottle after a month of not using it (i dont use the same shaker for every supp i use) i wiffed up an absolutely pungent odor. It smelt like paint stripper, such a strong smell. Nearly knocked me out! so i dn whats goin on there, and the stuff thats in no xplode must really be not healthy, but its worth the pump!
good pump, but a scarry side effectsApril 12, 2009
Reviewer: Michael from Niagara Falls, Canada
I've been taking NO now for close to a year, I get a great pump from it, i definitely get a better workout when i use it. But...after the workout I get very scarry chest pains, i feel nauseua, and cannot fall asleep at night, and i'm up at 6am daily. I found when i didnt use it the pain went away and i didnt feel nausea anymore i could sleep again. To me a good nights rest is important when u are training and its not worth the risk taking it especially when your heart is getting effected by it. If u get the same side effects i believe the chest pains of any sort are not healthy i never felt like fainting ever, until taking NO and i dont want to feel that way again. So if you get the same effects and are worried its not worth taking, i am going to look for another product maybe soemething more natural that my body can handle.

Good stuff but side effects aren't too greatApril 08, 2009
Reviewer: Nick from Sacramento, CA USA
I've been using N.O.E. for just over a week now and i like it. The taste is too sweet but manageable. It definitely makes me more focused on my workouts and i hardly even notice the songs playing on my ipod anymore cause im so involved in it. But at the gym i've been sweating a lot more excessively and my heart seems to be racing almost scary fast. I also am extremely thirsty for water all the time now. And as other people have said i've been hitting the toilet up a lot more. I'm going to keep taking it cause i spent 45 bucks on it but i am scared for what it's doing for my health in the long run.
Good but BadApril 07, 2009
Reviewer: Blueflame9999 from Vermont
It is definitely good for PT Tests like the Push-ups/Pull-ups and the Crunches (improved my numbers) but it will cause you to gas(hard time breathing) when you do the run but once you get a pace your good to go. I tried it the day I had a 0545 PFT and I scored a 261 for the Navy 17-19 age bracket. So it has its positives and negatives but definitely helps to make sure I was awake before and during the test and ready to go. It gives you a higher level of focus or concentration. Better than a cup of coffee!
must use as directedApril 06, 2009
Reviewer: Lifts alot from Appleton, WI
Rucker from Alabama wrote that he/she got 10 lbs more on Bench max from previous week. Anyone lifting weights should not be "maxing" out every week or every other week or every three, four or five weeks. If you are lifting properly you will cycle every 12 weeks and max on the 12th week with one week off between 12 week cycles. I agree with others in that I only use 1.5 - 2 scoops, 3 scoops makes me nearly passout 10 minutes into a workout from lightheadedness and nausea. I like the product so far, it's been three weeks of use; I equate the mind focus feeling to what I get from taking one of those 5 hour energy shots but NOE gives the pump and some excited energy to the workout. I also use cell-mass after the workout as directed and get a great pump from the creatine. One scoop right away after workout and another scoop 6-8 hours later. Drink plenty of water; 120 oz a day and you should be fine. If you are dehydrated and use this product you are setting yourself up for health problems. I'm not huge but I don't want to be a "muscle head" either; I prefer fit and strong.
This works but it is a bit expensive...April 02, 2009
Reviewer: Havoc from Chicago, IL, USA
After reading countless reviews for a supplement that can take my workout to the next level or give me that extra push the one product that the majority of people recommended was no xplode so I decided to give it a try.
I ordered the Fruit Punch and the taste in not that bad then again my taste buds are not so sensitive. I took 1 scoop and blended it with about 7oz of water, well after my 1st workout of Chest and Triceps I was able to lift more weight than previously and do more reps. You do feel focused and pumped about working out. Ive had just caffeine in my system prior to a workout and it is not the same! This gives you an extra push, I am going to continue using it for 3 months and then take a break from it, will post my final results in 3 months but so far so good!
Lousy ProductApril 01, 2009
Reviewer: Cory from Tennessee
I have been on/off NO-X since last July. The first few times taking it I had a great pump at the gym and every time after that it seems to become less and less effective and now nothing except and energy boost. I recently starting feeling sick at my stomach and having chest pains after consuming so I decided to do some research and found all this info here. Im throwing the rest of my bottle in the garbage.
not too greatMarch 31, 2009
Reviewer: Josh from california
i experienced more side effects than positive effects,including stomach ache, bloating, nausea, lack of focus (opposite of what bottle says) and a few other little things. it does give you a little bit of a pump, and maybe an extra rep or 2 on some lifts. but thats about it. wouldnt recommend it

Reviewer: Matt from Phoenix, AZ
i heard a lot of good things about no xplode so i decided to try it. after i took it i could feel the effects in 15 minutes. i felt focused and amped up to work out. i was able to lift more than i usually do and pump out more reps. the only downfall is that i cant fall asleep til past 12 eventhough i take it at around 3. every night i am wide awake and not able to fall asleep
Xplode is decent, here's why:March 30, 2009
Reviewer: The Judge from Missouri
For those of you who read 100's of reviews w/o finding a definitive answer, read on.
Day 1: I purchased a tub of blue raspberry NO-Xplode and decided at 6pm i would try it out to see how my body would handle it. bad idea. i was up til 4am. this is b/c i didnt lift.
Day 2: i actually lifted. i dont know whether it was the xplode or just psychological but i got 1 or 2 extra reps with each set.
End of Week 1: NO-Xplode seems alright. its giving me a couple extra reps and a decent pump.
Conclusion: Although i give this product 3.5/5 stars, i wouldnt recommend it to anyone. I've had better results with a $5 bottle of L-Arginine from walmart. NO-Xplode seems to be mainly caffeine. Go chug 2 Rockstars before you work out for similar results. My next product will either be L-Arginine or NanoVapor.
I hope this helped.

Reviewer: Anonymous from pa
No-xplode is a potent product that works very well. It is not ment to be taken for more then 12 weeks at a time. As with all supplements, cycling is needed to make them work properly. This suplement will give you energy but is NOT a fat burner!!! N.O. products are designed to give you a great pump. There will be a little skin tingling due to the L-arginine AKG. Take is as directed,on an empty stomach and you should'nt have any issues.
Strong stuff!March 21, 2009
Reviewer: Paul from Melbourne, Australia
I've been working out for about 15 years now where i've tried nearly every supplement.
I've just finished using N.O.-Xplode for over a 3 month now and you have to ask yourself if a product is this strong, using it long term isn't good for you.
Just like creatine it says to have a break after 3 months, where most people wouldn't and I believe it hasn't been tested yet but long term you will have problems if you abuse this product.
It also says, for "to be consume by healthy adults 18-50 years old" so if you have a poor diet you will start having side effects. It's strong stuff so you need to keep your body strong as well!
I normally stick with Protein shakes and eat well BUT i give creatine and N.O.E a go every 1-2 years to help me push into heavier weights. This stuff hits you like speed does, it give you so much strength and power and it makes you feel amazing!!! I can see so many people get addictive to this product!
I've talk to a lot of people, creatine & NOE, using it and not having a break, you end up having stomach cramps, pains, and other issues that people have mention above.
I would suggest if you want to push a little harder with your training, give this product a go and have a 1-2 year break! Stick with your protein shakes 3-4 a day and train hard!

Help for all of UMarch 17, 2009
Reviewer: Matt from Carmel, Indiana
First off, everyone that is saying it isnt working, you cannot just jump into this product. Start with 1 cup, then after 2 weeks or so of HARD work, up yourself to 2. If you take this for very long your body gets used to it just like any other substance. You need to mix it up a bit. Dont drink at night. Drink right before you workout, and drink protein after. Wish i could help more but im out of typing room.
Works Amazing for WorkoutMarch 15, 2009
Reviewer: David from Indiana
as soon as i started taking this, my workouts improved ALOT. i was able to lift more and for more reps. problem is, i never really FELT any mental alertness, focus, etc. until i started the lift. Also, seems that sometimes it works better than others even though i take about the same amount under same conditions whenever i use it, some days feels like its not working at all. no allergic reactions so far, but once i took 2 scoops of this and i only had time for a really light workout. After that light workout, i had to grab some quick dinner, 5 minutes later i was puking up my $8 dinner so i would wait before eating after taking some of this

Ok. Let me tell ya a bit abt myself and y'all give me some advice on what I need to do. Ok I am a track runner (400 meters) and I golf. Im 16 and I'm 6'2 and about 140 lbs. I'm just looking to get BIGGER and stronger.. But I still want to run fast. But a few months I had to go to the hospital bc of passing out. They said it was from what the energy drinks did to me and I drank alot of them. And this NO Xplode is nothing but caffiene so is that really good for me?? I took 2 scoops of xplode before I worked out and this was abt 4 hours before I went to bed and when I finished working out I took mass xxx. I slept good too. So someone give me some tips and tell what I'm doing right. What I'm doing wrong. How this combination can hurt me and also how it can help. Thanks, Fair boy!

Outstanding SupplementMarch 03, 2009
Reviewer: Mick from Georgia, USA
I have to agree with a post that jay from Florida wrote. I think most people that have experienced a bad side effect from N.O. have not taken it properly. I have used it on and off for the last 2 years and have never had any issues with it. Of course I start out with one scoop until I build up a tolerance then move on to two scoops but, never more than two. I also, drink 1-2 gallons of water a day to stay hydrated. I do have movements 10-15 minutes after drinking it but, I beleive that was due to the amount of Caffeine the body recieves at one time. I for one think this is a most have supplement in anyones supplement stack. Outstanding pumps, focus and strength.
Lift hard, stay motivated...
Got the boost, but also the side effectsMarch 03, 2009
Reviewer: Bfine20 from San Antonio, TX
I originally started taking this product several months ago, as directed, never using more than 1-1.5 scoops. I must admit that I did get a noticeable workout boost from this product which was great! But soon afterwards, I began getting some unusual symptoms about 4-5 hours following use, but not limited to that time. I began having very uncomfortable chest tension which caused adverse breathing. It felt like I just couldn't get a deep breath no matter how much I tried. Then came the heart palpitations which are VERY scary! Whenever I'd be sitting down or driving I could "feel" my heart beating and every now and then it felt like it would skip a beat and I get an "impending feeling of doom" sensation, like I'm going to pass out or have a heart attack. At first I never really put the two together, and these symptoms did seem to subside at one time. But then I realized they subsided while I was not taking the product. ( I had ran out and not bought another jar for several weeks). Upon return to NO Explode I am once again getting these symptoms. Enough so that I am sitting here reading and responding to other's reviews. Again, I can definitely say that this product DOES give you a nice boost, and I'm not here to tell anyone NOT to use it...BUT, if you are one of the people who DO experience side effects I would recommend you seriously consider finding an alternate product your body can handle. This sucks b/c I do like the boost, but I cannot justify taking something that would cause health problems..when the point is to become fit! Just my opinion...and maybe this helps someone experiencing these symptoms put their health first.
CEM3 better than AVPT formula??March 03, 2009

Increased FocusMarch 01, 2009
Reviewer: Rucker from Atlanta
More than anything, I notice an increase in focus when I use this product. My preference is to use one scoop as I have trouble remaining calm when I introduce high levels of any energy drink/supplement into my system. Hell, I nearly had a panic attack on Redline once :) The first time I used it I decided to max out on the bench and I was 10 lbs better than the week before. Not sure if I can attribute it all to NO, but it definitely didn't hurt. I also use Cr5 Creatine/Amino Acid pills and a Whey Protein and have not had any side affects to date with this combination. Finally, I highly recommend NO to anyone experiencing a plateau in your performance. For me, it was exactly what I needed to reach the next level. The only advice I will give is to use one scoop, like it says, to determine your tolerance first. I workout with a guy who decided to go for three scoops on his first dose and he was sick with flu like symptoms for about six hours afterwards. He tried it again two days later with only one scoop and found that it increased his focus, energy level and muscle endurance without any ill affects.

NO Xplode...No longer the same???February 26, 2009
Reviewer: Kenny Powers from St. Louis MO
Anyone else notice NO Xplode is not nearly as potent as is use to be??? I've discussed this with 2 other guys and they are saying the same thing. I've used No Xplode on and off for the past two years and have always noticed that instant "kick" once I take a drink of NO Xplode. I recently returned one container because of the effects were not there and the second container is not much better. Not to mention NO Xplode is now available at Walgreens...which might explain the less potency effect. Maybe BSN is tryig to appeal to ALL people, instead of those of us who use it to workout. I would like to hear if anyone has taken both Black Powder and NO Xplode and which supplement they liked more?

Great pre workout suppFebruary 17, 2009
Reviewer: C-Dog from Bakersfield, Ca
I've been in and out of the gym over the last six months really hitting it hard the last month or so. I've taking a multi vitamin and using whey alone with ok results in strength and gains but starting losing focus and motivation. I starting taking xplode and stacking it with cellmass for a post workout supp and I feel better than ever. No real mass gains as of yet but the strength and pumps are unbelievable! I can hardly pull my earphones out after sets and muscles are ready for more sets in seconds. I recommend this stack with a multi vitamin for anyone looking for focus and energy boosts and espeacially for noobies to keep you going. All in all great product(s) IMO
Sleepless NightFebruary 08, 2009
Reviewer: UB from Troy, Michigan , USA
Read alot about XPLODE, I personally think it makes me an energy powerhouse , and it takes about 25 minutes for me , till it's effects begin , I have been taking it for about a fortnight now.
Pros:
Extreme focus
Less time betwen sets
About 10% load increase for each muscle group.
Cons:
I could just sleep for 2 hours , in the whole night when I first took it, but now can sleep a little longer, but anyways, I would agree with one guy from India , if you are working , you can't afford it on weekdays , if you train in evenings.
I am a resident doctor, and one of the concerns now for me s a review somewhere in the midle teeling about the fall in HDL, which is making me scary , let me a read a little about it , and then let's see what I can find to help all at the forum.
All in all A Super product.

Reviewer: Koncept gym from cornwall, UK
Take product - add 10kg to your bench. Its that good.
Doesnt need to be taken continoulsy, in fact theres no advantage to. This supplement is ideal for "one off" boosts especially if going for a personal best. Works very well for bench and big explosive movements.
I sell shit loads of this in my gym, after whey, by far our most popular product.
1 negative: once takenyou have an "energy window" (everyone will be different) mine is about 40mins. After this you can (and probably will) crash. you'll feel pumped but totally void of energy
ohh and another: DO NOT EAT WITH AT LEAST 40MINS BEFORE EATING this is serious. i've personally experinced the shits very bad and i've had other guys puking!!! i know this sounds bad, but it is a strong supplement. But taken correctly is awesome

NO Explode may work differently from others. If you can not take caffein very well, such as me, then I suggest NOT to use this product. I used 1 scoop and it gave me head rush, headache, even numbness around neck and arm area. It scared the crap out of me. I drank plenty of water and waited 30 mins before I started working out. I felt better, and stronger, but I couldn't focus. Not For me!

NO2 X-plode Vs. ProteinJanuary 19, 2009
Reviewer: Jay from Florida
From a trainer of about 15 years experience:
From the earlier posts it seems like some of you use creatine INSTEAD of protein and then compare them. Creatine is a cell volumizer, it fills each muscle cell with more "fuel" (ATP + water). This is assuming you are feeding it protein + carbs, and on the right schedule. This in turn allows the muscles to do much more work before you "hit the wall"
This supplement is in ADDITION to protein, not instead of it. From the looks of it, some of you are using not only too much of it, but probably not eating properly to fuel your muscles for the increased work your muscles can now do. This is probably one of the causes of your lightheadedness. I train my clients hard, and when they don't eat right according the nutrition schedule I design for them, they get dizzy and nauseous too. These supplements work synergistically, each helping the other maximize work output, hence size growth. (Assuming you are training in the right rep range for hypertrophy).
I use a diff creatine product now, but am going to try it this one soon as it has a great rep around my gym from the bodybuilders who know how to manage their diets properly.

I have been cycling NO Xplode for quite a while and have seen great results. Definitely get a great energy rush and all my lifts and endurence have increased. HOWEVER, we just had our annual physicals at work and around 20 guys came back with incredibly screwed up blood work! Their HDL (good cholesterol) came back at dangerously low levels as well as kidney and liver function levels. The common denominator was that they all had been using NO Xplode. My HDL also came back slightly low.
While it works and works well, I don't think the bennefit outways the risk.

From my first day of taking one scoop of NO, i absolutely noticed more of a focus and energy felt only a few minutes after drinking. a lot of people attribute this to the caffeine which is in NO, but i have been quite a coffee fan for a while, and while NO certainly contains caffeine, (and i have drank coffee before workouts) i have never once felt the same pumps purely from caffeine. you do become more tolerant to it after a while, but it absolutely makes you an animal while working out. i recently graduated college and have been working out at home, but since taking NO actually WISH i were still in school at the gym, looking big. i don't bother taking on my off days as i've been stacking with cell mass, but have gained about eight pounds in the less than two weeks since i've begun the stack. we'll see how much much of this is water weight when i cycle off, as 120 oz of water per day is about seven pounds in itself, but i absolutely feel bigger and just tonight had friends tell me i look bigger. this stuff is a bit pricey but to me seems worth it. with it i feel the energy, will and motivation to pump out those extra reps and extra sets. i've absolutely increased the weight i've been handling, and if and when that gets me bigger, i'm all for it.
P.S. have been taking the arctic berry and think it tastes great. actually look forward to taking this stuff before a workout. really can feel a difference within a matter of minutes.

Reviewer: Shawn from alabama from decatur alabama
I have been using this product for about 4 years along with nano-vapor,and I tried no black.I liked no-xplode best.The first year was great I got in realy good shape.I was maxing out at 290 I weigh in at 165-168.I noticed about 3-5 pound gain in weight prabably water weight because I drank alot of water.But I started getting amuned to it and taking 3 scoops it made me jittery light headed during my workouts very confused on what muscle I wanted to work my heart started fluttering over a period of time. I actually went to the hospital one time because of the chest pain but they said it was some kind of chest wall pain.?? This product will make you train like crazy but you will get addicted to it because it makes you feel great.I still wonder about it.I feel like I cannot work out witthout this product.I am fixing to try no 2 by mri a cup or 2 of coffee some zma,turrestris,whey protein,creatine and betasine

Oh, I do agree with most other guys here.
In essence, use two scoops.
One gives too little effect, 3 scoops is only after you've been using it a few weeks & tolerance is an issue.

Reviewer: Michael FC from Dublin, Ireland
It really does do what it says on the tin.
For me (a regular guy trying to re-use original belt notches), it has increased strength, intensity and recovery between sets - helping with serious fat loss & lean muscle gain.
Very strong stuff though:
I've had to stop taking it on NON-workout days, cos it made me jittery. But, it lasts longer and keeps me more sensitive to it for workouts!
I am 19 y/o, 6'6'' 235 lbs. ive been lifting on and off for about three yeras and everyday for about 1 year. N.O. explode is my favorite supplement of all time, been taking it for about 4 months (too long i know). massive gains and awsome pump. But recently i almost passed out at the gym from standing up and threw up because i was so dizzy. I went to the doctors and they couldnt find a single thing wrong with me, and i forgot about that incident. but lately the same thing has happened and im starting to think its n.o.. im going to stop taking it for a while to see whats good. i hope its n.o. or im fuggin dying.........BTW the reason im writing this is because ten minutes before researching this i just stood up quickly and got retarded dizzy and threw up , and i dont have low blood pressure...

I was weighing 185 and maxing out at about 195. After about three months I am now weighing in at 205 and maxing out at 255. Maybe it works differently for different people but I have nothing bad to say about it.

Reviewer: Brad from louisiana
i have been using this product for about 2 years and have had great results..i had increased energy and size at the gym during and after workouts. When taking this product i did get the jitters every now and then but it was all a part of what i thought was the product working. I was out the gym for about 3 months and when i got back in i started back up with the no-explode..the first day i took 3 scoops as i usually did and never had a problem with it. After my workout i felt kind of light headed but felt okay if i moved around enough..the second day using it i took the 3 scoops again and felt fine after my workout, until about 3 hours later..
i was at work and after about 3 mins of standing still talking, when i went to go walk off i got tunnel vision and extremely light headed followed buy a headache and a highly increased heart rate...it scared the S$%^ out of me and the next thing i know i was pale and considering calling an ambulance...like i said i took this supplement for a couple of years and never had this kind of crazy side affect before, but i notice that in the other posts that these side affects can happen at the most random times and they really aren't worth it.
Pretty goodJanuary 06, 2009
Reviewer: Nick from Rock Hill, SC
I used about 2 tubs of this product and saw massive gains in strength. I went from benching about 225 to 260 in a month and thats not with working out hard by any means. I didn't have all the side effects but had chest tension so I quit with it. I never really saw any MASS put on, but the strength gains were impressive, but who cares who benches the most? I don't, so I just go with protein, safer and I've seen much more gains in muscle in just a month then i did with 2 months or so with NO. Overall a good product if you want to bench a small car maybe even a mini van, but unless your planning on becoming a super hero anytime soon, this product is probably not what you need. Another thing, after you quit using it, the muscle gained goes away quickly as opposed to just protein and vitamins, but thats creatine for you. Give it a shot, maybe I just didn't respond to it as well as others.

Reviewer: SHTARNY from ireland
i have only been taking it for a week now but it does make me feel weird. i love the extra focus i get in the gym, haven't experenced any kind of pumps though. it makes my balls heat up like crazy which is a little concerning. i feel light headed and my eyes go crazy and i find it hard to string sentences togather! perhaps i just need to get used to it don't want to risk anything and negative reviews along with my weird side effects mean that i am gonna stick with cellmass and on protein... in my opinion protein is the best and safest supplement any weightlifter can take. cya happy new year!!
N.O explodeDecember 25, 2008
Reviewer: Vinny from USA
if you have taken a different form of creatine or pre workout formula prior to taking this, i recommend that you start out with 2 scoops of this and disregard the directions of taking 1 scoop. you wont feel anything if you do. this product is very good. i last a lot longer during my workouts and i have been taking it only for 1 week. drink plenty water.
amazing WHEN USED RIGHT!December 24, 2008
Reviewer: Aikidokid from Pueblo CO
i HAVE READD ALL OF THE REVIEWS BEFOR THIS! And all of the negative ones seem to me a product of missuse and not use of the product. Everyone that gets headachs off this is because you are not getting enough water and are becoming dehydrated it clearly states on the label to consume at least 120oz of water a day while on NOX remember this is still a creatine and all creatines require large amounts of water to satiate the body.
I have been on it for a full 40 day cylcle and while the jittery effects of the first few times have warn off i have pumps everytime continued focus and a noticable difference in strength since i started.

Do not follow the instructions on the tubDecember 19, 2008
Reviewer: The mizz from tampa, fl
I'll start out by saying I like the stuff. I'm 6'1, 175lbs-pretty lean, but strong. I found if I took it on an empty stomach I felt lightheaded and got a shitty workout. So now I always eat something small about 45 mins before workout then take the NO about 15 mins after the food. Also, I only take NO before I workout. I never take it on my off days. I find it as effective and it saves $$$ in the long run as you dont have to keep buying new tubs. All in all a good product, you just have to know how it works best for you.

Good Pump but sleepless nightsDecember 07, 2008
Reviewer: Yogesh Sehdev from Delhi, India
Hi All,
I am Yogesh Sehdev from Delhi, India. I tried BSN's NO EXPLODE. No doubt, it gives results, and pumps body like anything. But, the worst thing is that one cannot expect a sound sleep for next 6-7 hours after consuming it. So if you go to GYM in evening, you must be prepared for sleepless night.
I consume it only on weekends, so that i could afford to wake up late in morning on Sunday.

Felt like I was dyingDecember 04, 2008
Reviewer: Ty Fusion from Chicago, IL
This product seems very dangerous to me. Took it for a while and it does make you feel good like any caffeine product. Then one day after taking a two scoop dose i'm fairly certain I had a caffeine overdose. My heart was pounding, my mind was racing, and it was genuinely scary (no way I would have worked out feeling like that). the label is vague as to what is in this stuff, and with all the information available on the internet, the range of claimed caffeine content was from 100mg - 3,000mg per serving. That is a hell of a range and it seems that nobody really knows what this stuff contains. I will never go close to it again.
Best product out there.December 03, 2008
Reviewer: Roughneck4Life from Calgary, Alberta, Canada
I've been cycling No-Explode and Cellmass with ON 100% Gold Standard whey for a little over a year now. 8 Weeks on, 3 weeks off. Every now and then I threw in Tribulus and ZMA to the stack. By far the best product I have ever taken. The new AVPT formula works, mixes, and tastes great.
Before I took No-Explode, I would have labeled myself as a creatine nonresponder. Creatine monohydrate and Purple K did nothing for me. I felt this stuff working from day 2 when suddenly instead of having to take a day or 2 off because of sore muscles, I felt like I could work out 4-5 days straight.
Follow the instructions exactly as printed, drink lots of water, diet properly and supplement with a good whey, such as ON 100% Gold Standard and you will definitely see results. Over the course of a year, my bench has gone from 215 to 340, body weight from 175 to 210 on a 6'1" frame. Come up with a workout plan and work a different muscle group each day. I work out 4-5 days a week straight followed by a 2-3 day break.
Even though this product makes you feel you can workout 7 days a week DONT. Proper rest is important for muscle repair.
I don't know why some people report side effects with this. I've experienced none and I take 3 scoops. Perhaps they don't take it as instructed. For people reporting headaches, try drinking 12oz. of water immediately after ingesting and breathe properly during the workout.

I ALWAYS GET CONCERNED WHEN VIEWING NEGATIVE REVIEWS OF THIS PRODUCT . I KNOW DIFFERENT PRODUCTS WORK FOR VARIOUS PEOPLE BUT I CAN TRUTHFULLY STATE THAT I HAVE USED NO-XPLODE FOR A YEAR NOW AND HAVE ONLY EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WHEN I MIXED IT UP IN A SHAKER BOTTLE INSTEAD OF A BLENDER .I ALWAYS DRINK PLENTY OF WATER , ROUGHLY 4 PINTS AN HOUR , AND FIND THAT I CAN DO REP AFTER REP . I AM NOT HUGE BY ANY MEANS , BUT AT 57 I CAN OUT-PHYSIQUE ALL OF MY FRIENDS AND YOUNGER FAMILY MEMBERS . MY GIRL TELLS ME I HAVE THE BODY OF A 35 YEAR OLD , THAT MAY BE TRUE , AND ITS NOT ALL DOWN TO NO-XPLODE , BUT THE FOCUS AND CONCENTRATION THAT IT GIVES ME IS FANTASTIC , ALL I WOULD SUGGEST IS TRY IT , I USE TWO SCOOPS ON AN EMPTY STOMACH EARLY MORNING , OR AT ABOUT 7PM IN THE EVENING WHEN I GET HOME FROM WORK , MIXED IN A BLENDER. THEN I WAIT FOR 30-45 MINUTES AND I CAN PHYSICALLY FEEL MY BODY REVING UP , LIKE A CAR ENGINE STARTING FROM COLD TO WARM UP,UNTIL I AM LITERALLY BUSTING TO LIFT . THE FEELING IS FANTASTIC, THE PUMP AS GOOD NOW AS IT WAS A YEAR AGO. FOR THE RECORD , I DO MIXED EXERCISES , MULTI SETS ,INCREASE LOADS MONTHLY, WED , THURS, FRI,AND SAT, MAYBE 1.5 TO 2 HOURS A DAY , BUT ON SUNDAY , MONDAY AND TUESDAY REST.BEST REGARDS .

I first started with Arson dietary supplement. i am in the military and i needed some help. i lost 4% body fat and 2 inches off my waist. my muscles grew from doing alot of pushups and dips as well as situps. i passed my fitness test and i switched to NO Xplode. i decided to try 1 scoop and do my pushup and situps. i felt my threshold was increased and i went from doing 25-30 reps per set to 45-50 reps per set. my situps went through the roof too. i get no side effects. my body is used to caffeine thanks to Arson (900mg). When i do cardio with NO Xplode, my heart rate does not max out and i feel great! I do feel my concentration went up and my "drive" went up. im glad i dont have side effects! drink alot of water!!

It was XPLODING. I felt the pump right away after 10 min. My trainning was way more intense and i felt that i could train for like 2 3hours. But it does keep me awake at night.( i took it a 6 pm maybe it is because of my tolerance. Who knows ) Today i took it and began my trainning. Again, more intense and i could notice a little difference. For the taste, well it is more good than armageddon :) Hope that it helped u guyz :) one thing for sure, i may rebuy this No:)

Same Molecule structure as methNovember 19, 2008
Reviewer: Dave from Florida
Steven from Florida says N.O. Xplode has the same Molecular structure as meth.. OK meth is not one Compound neither is N.O Xplode .. so it doesnt make sense that A mixture has its own molecular structure. Second, there is only a handfull of the most common hydrocarbon structures so if a substance is the same shape doesnt mean it has the same effects. Third, it could use the same atoms as meth and still not be poisonous, Ozone (O3) is a deadly substance when you breath it in you die. Oxygen on the other hand (O2) is essential to humans and we would die without it. So dont belive some body builder cause he prolly doesnt know what he is taking anyways.

no xplodeOctober 23, 2008
Reviewer: Matt G from Newfoundland, Nl Canada
i believe that no xplode is a good creatine supplement but it has its dont sides. it increases your heart rate to the max with the extreme amount of caffiene in it. you have to cycle is, like most creatines. and with no xplode you can only get so big and then your body gets used to it even if you cycle it. if you want a good stack i recomend NaNox9, creadex and encharge. it cost a nice bit for all 3 but if money isnt a worrie then this stack will give you the ultimate work out. at the end of your work out finish off with a high protien, protien shake and the best multivitamin in the world Animal Pak

Excellent Product!! just watch out how long you take it, and I guess they mean it when they tell you to cycle off, cause i didn't, I just couldn't go to the gym without it, or even a normal day without it.

Its been two or three weeks since I went on it (1 scoop per workout 5-6 workouts a week). Now I dont really feel much of anything from the product. I'm going to cycle off for a week or two, and then try it again

Reviewer: Davien from Boston
I have used No Explode on and off for about 2 years. Originally I experienced significant gains in my strength. I had to use the product for a few days before the results kicked in. After that NOX was my old faithful,like Popeye and spinach. I literally could not reach muscle failure. My bench went from 155 to 235 within six months. I am 6ft 170 lbs. When I started I was 156 lbs. (Hard Gainer). Like many users state, this product should be used according to your caffeine tolerance. I occasionally experience sharp pains in my stomach, dehydration, disorientation and bouts of a racing heart. I can't tell if NOX is the cause of these symptoms or simply too much caffeine in my daily diet. As well as taking NOX on an empty stomach.

I have used this product for no more than 5 weeks and my max squat has jumped from 315 to 380! and i only put on 4 pounds which was my goal. i weigh 168 pounds and squat 380...so you tell me if this product is worth it or not!

Reviewer: Levi from Branson, MO
If you do your research like me, you'll find a lot of pro's and con's with this product. After using it for two months, I've seen both sides of the fence.
*IF YOU DO NOT DRINK ENOUGH WATER, YOU WILL GET HEADACHES AND CHEST PAINS! I cannot stress this enough, have you seen the amount of caffeine in here? Ya, it's ASTRONOMICAL!
*THIS IS NOT A PRODUCT TO MESS AROUND WITH. IF YOU DON'T TAKE IT RIGHT, IT IS DANGEROUS!!
NOW, having said that, when you take this in 8 week cycles and lay it off it for 4 weeks, you will be fine. This is assuming you are drinking water responsibly. Water, NO Explode, and a healthy diet really can do wonders for your body.
AS FOR THE HYPE, some is true, some isn't. Yes, you do feel incredibly focused. Yes, you work harder. Yes, you have more drives and you do fee a nice pump. This is not a miracle substance though, work hard and lift hard and you will see results, NO Explode or not. This will greatly help you get there, sure. But NO Explode alone won't get you anywhere without a diet, a regular workout routine, and lots of WATER.

Do Not Take!September 25, 2008
Reviewer: Mandosa from Ontario, Canada
This stuff is pure poison. I took one scoop and within 10 minutes it made me feel like i was on caffeine overload. I was jittery, my hands were shaking, and i felt panicky. Within 4 hours, i had one of the worst headaches of my life. My heart rate was racing and my blood pressure was through the roof. I couldn't sleep the entire night....nervous, sweating, etc. The next morning i felt like i had a terrible hangover. Terrible nausea and dizziness.
you have been warned
Didnt do much for meSeptember 23, 2008
Reviewer: Rola from TX, USA
Well i probably used this product for about 4-6 months and it really didnt do what it states its supposed to do. The only thing i think it did was that it gave me a boost for working out. I didnt feel none of the rush or veins popping out and stuff. My workout buddy didnt see any of the things it said it was supposed to do as well. I would look into anotehr product, cuz this thing aint cheap.
NO XPLODE GOOD AND BADSeptember 22, 2008
Reviewer: KKHAAA from NA
i have been on no xplode for a year i made alot of gains and strengths my bench went from 150 to 225 in a year i did had alot of headaches ,while i was on my first tub then i asked a clerk at GNC he told me to drink shit load of water, after that never had any headaches or anything else. i also had trouble sleeping cauz of the caffeine and alot of people have that problem but i know a really good solution to loose it. you can take no xplode and work out really intense till u have nothing left in u r body so u r really tired and that makes u sleepy.
but as far i as i am concerned this is the best product that i have ever tried in my life
IT WORKS GREAT!September 19, 2008
Reviewer: Timothy Driver II from Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland
I started using no-xplode about 6 months ago because of a suggestion from the clerk at the GNC store since I had asked him "What should I use to help with muscle endurance and help prevent muscle failure?" I have noticed a big difference since I have used the supplement my muscle endurance has increased and no more muscle failure! I actually used it differently then what is suggested I drink it in my normal work out water bottle which is about 1.5L with only one scoop of no-xplode and the rest water while I am working out. The result is I get the boost of energy about half way though my work out but that’s when I need it most. I would recommend this supplement to anyone who will at least try it for themselves!
Try Noxplode this way !!September 12, 2008
Reviewer: JR from Wenatchee
After reading alot of reviews about Noxplode and some people get too pumped up, or headaches, or do not feel it anymore....
I am 48 years young, working out since I was 15, I have a background in Fitness and Nutrition...
I would recommend first and foremost...IS TO READ THE LABEL...AND USE ACCORDING TO DIRECTIONS..ALOT OF PEOPLE THINK MORE IS BETTER..WRONG !! THERE IS A REASON FOR CERTAIN AMOUNTS OF ANY PRODUCT. Use to tolerate your own level on the product..alot of people just use whatever and wonder why they feel terrible...
TRY USING NOXPLODE IN YOUR PROTEIN SHAKE BEFORE A WORKOUT AS I DO !!
I have been taking protein shakes for 25+ years and NOxplode for at least 3 years....
When you take a protein base supplement with a product for energy stimulation...you slow your absorbtion rate down, but more importantly you digest the product with protein this way for better absorbtion into the muscle cells, you stablize any blood sugar swing, and create a better balanced preworkout in my opinion...
This should help over energized or headaches or any other reactions to NOxplode !!
Give it a try !!

Extremely Dangerous ProductSeptember 08, 2008
Reviewer: This product is killing me! from Twin Cities, MN USA
Like many reviewers I tried this product per the recommended dosage. I didn't feel much if anything, didn't have any headaches, didn't feel much energy or pumps. I finished using 1-2.71 lb container with moderate gains, then quit using the product for a few weeks. After I quite using the product I developed upper chest pains and begain experiencing insomnia every night. Not realizing my symptoms were from the use of NO-XPLODE, I began using this product again this week, and today I felt like I was having a heart attack. So much so that I had to go to the emergency room and have EKG, ultrasound, and stress tests done. I have always had excellent health, and couldn't figure out why my chest was hurting so much. I decided to do some research and to my surprise found out that many people using this product have had similar results! My chest is aching still as I write this review. (by the way the glicerin pill that the hospital gave me did help relieve the pain) I highly recommend NOT using this product. You may not know what effect it will have on you for some time, and you may end up in the hospital emergency room like me.
Used to work....September 08, 2008
Reviewer: Wes from Arizona
Right after Highschool in 2006 I picked up a tub of this and for about 2-3 months I had the best workouts of my life.
Now it is 2008 and I picked up a tub of the new N.O Explode a few months ago and absolutly ALL effects do not work on me.
I don't feel pumped, I often get a bit of a headache, my heartbeat speeds up im assuming from the large amount of caffeine, and honestly I just feel a bit more focused but that's about it.
If you drink alot of caffeine on a daily basis either from coffee, soda or energy drinks and you don't really get a buzz off them it is because your body has had so much caffeine that the effects don't phase you anymore.
This would explain why some people don't feel the effects of N.O Explode anymore.
Often people in highschool have no yet had a huge amount of caffeine which is why they feel the effects of N.O. Explode more than an adult.
However this product does work but only for some people. Others it will simply do nothing and I mean NOTHING.
Only buy this product if you got money to burn. It's not cheap.

ive been on N.O Xplode for 2 months after trying Gaspari SuperPump250 and San V12. So far i have yet to see any bad side effects and it works great. Nothing else has given me more energy, stregnth and pumps like NOX has. It also great for cutting, while takin this product ive seen noticable changes in size, strength and definition.
Although you MUST drink load of water during your cycle coz it will dehydrate you and you will get headaches.

Reviewer: Carl Specht from USA
I'll start of by saying i hate this supplement. Next I will say I reccomend this supplement. I reccomend this to anyone who as trouble getting motivatation to hit the gym. It'll get your muscles looking nice and big while your lifting so you will feel like your accomplishing something. Accompany this with proper nutrition (protein/creatine? cunsumption) and it could really help you out. For various reasons I dislike this product. A) Price B) I have no problem getting motivation to hit the gym C) I cannot sleep when I take this (it is 2 AM) D) I feel like I am in a daze the whole time I am in the gym. E) I have seen things questioning the health effects. Great product for people who like to look at themselves in the mirror more than theyu like to work out...

Sexual DysfunctionAugust 12, 2008
Reviewer: Anonymous from Australia
Hi all the last time I took this supplement was about a year and a half back. I had some really good gains, in terms of strength, energy and pumps.
4 days after discontinuing , in bed with my girl friend I had premature ejaculation for the first time in my life.( in about 4 mins) . I was baffled as never had this problem earlier.
I was not sure if it was due to NO Explode so after 7 days with no improvements, I decided to take a small dose of NO Explode just before going to bed and I was normal again.
Its been a long time since I last had a dose of NO Explode, and I have recovered to some extent from sexual dysfunction. But anyone who is considering to use it must analyse pros and cons thoroughly, I have talked to few other people who is using this product but they did not get a similar problem. So good luck to you guys.
DANGEROUS!!!August 12, 2008
Reviewer: Anonymous from Anytown, AT 55555
For those of you who don't know, this product contains 3g of caffeine per serve!! How much is 3 grams?? It's the equivalent of 50 cups of regular strength coffee!!
Caffeine is both a diaretic and restricts bloodflow by closing up your vessels. The fact that it's a diaretic means that it dehydrates you by pulling water out of your muscles. It restricts bloodflow by tightening up the smooth muscle walls of your veins and arteries, which could possibly cause a rupture or cardiac arrest from sitting stil, let alone training! Also, caffeine is simply a stimulant of the central nervous system, so you THINK that you are getting a massive pump, when really you aren't! It's simply your neuro-receptors.
Now, nitric oxide is fantastic stuff, but go for a product that DOESN'T have any caffeine in it! If you value your health you will listen to my advice. I SELL THE STUFF, I KNOW WHATS IN IT! I get sent brochures from the manufacturers all the time!

The Grape flavour is very nice, it tastes pretty much like gatorade.

Reviewer: Sean from CALI
i take NO and cell mass according to directions. I play football so this gives a lot of the energy i need. i take it before practice and i feel hyped the whole time; when we go to the weight room i push through the whole workout when everyone is dyin out. it seems like the more i workout, the harder i workout. i feel better on my last reps than i do on my first ones.
the only thing that i dont like is how you have to take the NO and cellmass on an empty stomach cuz i used to eat a lot to gain weight, and it was working but now its harder to schedule everything. worth the time and money tho, you just have to work out and push yourself and youll see results in no time
I have tried at least 7 different preworkout supplements...July 31, 2008
Reviewer: Josh from milwaukee, WI
I have been working out on and off for about 7 years now. But on Jan 1st 2007 I made it a goal to workout at least 6 days a week 2 hours a day ( only cause childcare is max 2 hours a day ). I started off with "Trac Xtreme NO" which was a good supplement but I felt that when I took it the pump and rush only lasted about 45 minutes into the workout and then faded dramatically, like instant fatigue. I researched a long time before I purchased another preworkout supplement and came across "NO Xplode". I took the max serving size 3 scoops ( I have always taken the max serving size with any supplement )and the rush and pump last my WHOLE workout. Somedays I even feel like I could lift for another hour easy! Its obvious that you must get the proper DIET, SLEEP, PROTEIN, WATER, VITAMIN, and most importantly A HARD ASS WORKOUT ROUTINE!!! In Jan 2007 my max bench was under 200lbs now in aug 2008 its 355lbs. Max dumbbell shoulder press was a pair of 60lbs , now Im pushing up the 150lbs. I went off supplements beside the regular cycling period for about 5 months and noticed my workouts were good they just weren't PUMPED!! I had the same strength but didnt have the focus, rush , and pump to drive me though endless reps. Recovery time is amazing. Have tried NO Xlode, Trac Xtreme NO, NANO Vapor, Gakic, Creatine serum , Creatine Powder, NO2 Black Powder and NO Xplode is by far the best !!!

Reviewer: Anon from Toronto, ON
Looking for a sugar rush and more caffeine than you would typically want to intake? You found your product!
No seriously, anyone who's had a strong coffee after a while of not drinking it can recognize the "pump" as nothing more than a caffeine/sugar rush. What a scam. Just eat properly, get enough sleep, jump on the whey/creatine wagon and LIFT!

I'm 18 years old and have been using NO on and off for the last year and a half or so. It soooo worth the money. The focus and drive it gives you is unreal, you feel unstopable and i didn't get as tired between sets. Great Stuff. It'll make you have to shit though before you work out, not like diareha or anything bad, its actually kind of a good thing on squat days.

Take Correctly for AWSOME resultsJuly 16, 2008
Reviewer: John from USA
Explode will give you incredible energy and motivation. After one set in the gym, your muscles will become like giant balloons (its a good feeling).
I have been on 3 cycles of Explode and it never gave me any noticeable effects until the last cycle I took. Here is what I've learned from the experience: Take PLENTY of protein and take cellmass with Explode. Doing both these things in addition to a good work-out routine will give you amazing results.
After about 2 months of this, I went back to school and received comments from nearly everyone I know: "Holy Sh*t, have you been working out? Your arms are huge!" Things like this make it all worth it!
Awesome product for hardcore liftersJuly 14, 2008
Reviewer: Bryan from Clarksville, TN
This is the best pre workout creatine on the market. I've been lifting and amature bodybuilding for 9 years now and have tried everything. At 5'7" and 212lbs I'm all natural. I stacked this with Cellmass, and True mass and put on 8 lbs of muscle in 5 weeks. Since everyone measures gains in the form of bench I will tell you how much I gained. Before I used No Explode my max was 345lbs. In 3 weeks I was putting up 375 for 2 reps. After 6 weeks I was putting up 405. I've never had a 60lbs gain in that short of time. Amazing product. The down fall is that this product gives you some serious shits. Be prepared for that

Just been using it for past 1 week, a descent product. now taking 1.5 scoops pre-workout.
looking at its +ves:
1. makes you go longer (workout or wotever ;-))
2. good taste of Fruit Punch
some -ves:
1. makes you 'pee' more (more often, more volume)
2. lil over priced
some other observations:
1. do not shake it as it looses its fizz then, only stir it slowly, mixes easily though.
2. take 3/4 befre workout (20 - 30 mins before) take the rest during work out. it helped workout longer
3. does give you lil pump but no hose pipe veins or stuff...

This product is really good
But cannot work by its own.
You need to visit your gym 4-5 times a week
Good nutrition, much protein.

The only bad thing is that this product comes to Europe in a price of 60 euros( more than 90 dollars) and if you think that is lasts more or less 3 weeks is a bit expensive.
Over all is a very good option and i will still use it.

I'm 39 and wanted to start pushing my workouts, keep myself looking young, and add some mass. I started using creatin, whey and glutamine for after workouts, but wanted something to get me going during. NO Explode worked great. I've read quite a few sites that state the stuff does nothing and all the benefits are in our heads, great I don't care where it comes from and if this product makes me believe I'm stronger, even better. In the last 6 weeks (on an 8 week cycle) I've leaned out and added enough size that my wife and friends are commenting. I've also had to stack on more wieghts in the gym, it's unleashed hidden strength and confidence. If it's all in my head, it's showing on my body and in the gym. In the last couple of weeks I've gotten more "Wow, you're 39!" from youger guys and gals in the gym than ever before.

Like many others have said, everyone is different. Therefore, it tells you that it can effect or it cannot. I wrestled at the weight of 165 and wanted to slim down. After being tolerant to the supplement, I could lift a lot heavier weights and run moderately faster. The point being is, if you take it, and use it properly, you'll go wonders. Access the tolerance and see where it'll take you.

however... i have a fairly high caffeine tolerance as i drink at least 1 can of red bull a day and loads of coffee at work, and 2 scoops of this is more than enough for me. you have to be careful or it will mess up your sleep and give you the shakes and crazy heart rates.
also, im not too sure how safe this stuff is. after this course i think ill come off it until i know a bit more about it. this is the only problem i have with it, otherwise it wud be 5 stars.

Reviewer: Lewis from sydney , Australia
im 17, recently i burrowed this product of a mate in my boarding school.
I can usually bench 220 pounds aorund my max and i was aiming for a big session and trying to push out 240 pounds. So i took the no-explode before the workout.... but as soon as i took it my mate rushed me to the gym otherwise we wouldn't get a bench. I could hardly push the 240 pounds without a spot.
the NEXT day i waited about 45 minutes before going to the gym after taking No xplode for a shoulder workout. I was a f***king animal. I absolutely killed my limits, my delts looked like they were balloons on my shoulders and i achieved some scary undiscovered veins.
bottom line people, wait at least 30 mins after No xplode aye, otherwise your wasting a fine product.

BSN NO XPLODE NEEDS TO BE STACKEDJune 07, 2008
Reviewer: Ronnyv from london
Hi there you on this site to check if this product is worth your money.Well if you bought it you definetly wont regret it i dont have no side affects from it expect a bit of deep focus (daydream a bit more) and concentrate like a supe hero power in everything i do even typing this.The product does need to be stacked with cell mass which is a must A MUST if your aim is to gain muscle and nitrix.With these products your will go very bulky by the time you buy the second tub a bit sacry like a prisoner just got released so if you aim to look like a movies star or a boxer forget this product because you be a tonk body bulider in no time.Lifthing weight on this product will most likely get you past your plateau by about 10- 20 kg within 2-3 days.Focus levels do increase in a sort of way like the pain from muscle contractions is delayed and you can lift more if you ever watched a gym movie youll be the same acutally can be screaming when you lift the weights and lift it comfortably.Does work but you be bulky bulider

Okay, so this product is way over hyped and i was expecting the energy in my workout to be just out the window. I took one scoop the first day to figure out my tolerance and didnt find a difference in my workout. Took two scoops and have been taking two everyday of my workout and i can honestly say i can't tell a difference. I'm stacking this with cell mass and true mass. Those two products are amazing and in my opinion the best BSN products. BSN is without a doubt my favorite supplement provider and they are the only supplements i use. Once i'm done with this tub of NO xplode i'm not wasting 40 more dollars and buying a new one. I'll just stick to cell mass and true mass which work very well.

I started taking NO-Explode a year ago. I think this product is great, but after a about ten months of use off and on I found that my body is to use to the product. My energy is lower when not on it and I no longer get the energy burst if and when I take it. I have been off it for three weeks and now and my workouts seem to be harder without it. I am taking two months off and hope to re-introduce it back into my system. Anyone else have a loss of energy after several months.
Please read the LABEL CAREFULLYMay 24, 2008
Reviewer: Mike from Jacksonville, Fla
I have been taking NOX for about 2 weeks, and it has worked great for me. The energy level I experienced is awesome. It has been especially helpful on my heavy training days. Although it has been great for me, I read the directions very carefully, I certainly do not recommend this products to people under 18, and for adults trying it for the first time absolutely do not consume three scoops immediately or you will certainly experience the negative side effects of NOX. It is also important that you take NOX on a empty stomach, this allows it to infuse into your bloodsteream more effectively. Waiting about 30-45 minutes is also good, in this time frame I have found it useful to consume a protein shake before I head for the gym. This can be something you can try for yourself, but most importantly use this product safely as with all supplements. Happy Lifting
Good Stuff!!May 21, 2008
Reviewer: Luke from Grants Pass, OR USA
I take one scoop before my workouts. Im 5'10 and roughly 240lbs and a lean bodybuilder. I only use it on my training days which is 4 days a week and take it 30min before training. It gives me good mental focus and energy for my workouts and my muscles feel full. I always drink about a gallon of water a day. I think useing too much may effect sleeping patterns and could cause stomach upset. Try one scoop and not eating before training. Good product.
Know what you're doing!May 20, 2008
Reviewer: Dave from New York, USA
I just started taking NO Xplod and love it. However, know what you're doing, how much you're taking, and what your goals are for increased strength and fitness. This isn't for everyone and as the bottle warns, you definitely have to find your tolerance for it. It will cause side-effects too, and not just good ones. I noticed that I couldn't sleep on days that I take large doses of NOX, and since I've cut down and just planned my schedule around taking it. It can also dehydrate you because the creatine will pull all your water into your muscles, which can leave you dizzy/sick. But if you work hard, you'll feel that way anyways.
If you can put up with these types of side-effects, then NOX is excellent. Just don't think that this is a stand-alone solution to getting stronger. Oh, and if you're still in high-school, you really shouldn't take this or any supplement for that fact. It will mess you up.

A while later I tried Nano vapor but it gave me severe itching and breathing problems,so I went back to NO Xplode.I would recommened any series gym buff to at least try it for a 4-6 week cycle.

Try itMay 18, 2008
Reviewer: Nick from New York
I play high school football and my older brother introduced me to NoXplode. I have thanked him ever since. I saw significant results over the winter and I was able to break school records in weightlifting with a 315 lb. bench, 430 lb. squat, and 530 lb. deadlift,245 lb. power clean. It allows me to focus on the weight and I am able to go longer into my workout without fatigue. I suggest anyone to try it, although I am sure its not for everyone. Make sure to cycle off it every 12 weeks and follow all of the directions. You may or may not be happy with the results. The only downside is that my doctor says I have high blood pressure, but I am still in the best shape of my life and I am 100 percent healthy.

Kid, this is not a discussion board. If you have not taken the supplement then don't write anything. People like you mess with the rating system. You gave it 3 stars for what? I had to give it 5 stars to offset your "review". Anyways, I would have given it a 5 regardless. The product is the real deal. Kid, don't take this stuff. You're friggin 16. If you can't get 'pumped up' and excited about lifting then there is something wrong with you. What do you have in your life that is bringing your energy down? 40 hr/wk job? Children? House? Wife?
Nothing but school I presume. Don't waste your money. Buy a quality protein (BSN, CNP, MHP, Bev International, O.N. Whey), get a quality multi vit/mineral, lift hard and smart, drink >> H2O, sleep hard. Do that for another 10 years first.

DONT GET ME WRONG , I AM NO COVER GUY , BUT THE DIFFERENCE TO MY UPPER BODY HAS BEEN FANTASTIC , SO GIVE IT A GO , AS I SAY YOU WILL KNOW FROM THE FIRST TASTE IF ITS FOR YOU .

Please read. Serious long term side effectsApril 30, 2008
Reviewer: Frank from Vancouver BC Canada
I started taking No Explode about 6 months ago. The product was great at first. Gave me loads of energy and i noticed pretty good size difference in the first month. However I recently started taking the Nitrix & the cell mass with it and i warn everyone here that the products BSN is selling is garbage, and extremley dangerous. On workout days i started noticing that i became very restless and nervous in the evening, and i would get no sleep at night. This only happened on workout days so i dealt with it for a couple weeks thinking i would get used to it. After 2 weeks of experiencing the side effects increase I decided to discontinue the products. This is where it gets bad. Since the day I have stopped taking the product i have experienced extreme Insomnia, where i will go litterally 7 days or more without sleeping. It has been now a month and i am still experiencing the side effects from this garbage. I have been to a naturopath and have showed them the product, they have told me that it has damaged my nervous system and has given me an adrenal imbalance which is causing me not to sleep. It will take up to 3 months to completly get out of my system, and hopefully get back to normal. I warn everyone here not to take the product at all, the side effects are not worth it
no xplode and lipo sixApril 27, 2008
Reviewer: Andrew from St. Louis from USA
Yes, this combination will have side effects. All that caffiene combined with yohimbine and other stimulants will 1) be unhealthy 2)be dangerous 3) possibly burn you out to the point wheir it actually hurts your work out ability in the long run. Yohimbine increases the effects of other stimulants, and combining another stimulant product with a yohimbine product can be dangerous.

Hate Cardio?April 11, 2008
Reviewer: Andrew from Tempe, Az USA
I have been lifting for six years now and I have tried a lot of supplements, but by far this is my favorite. I was expecting the product to live up to all of the reviews that I have read. I expected it to give me a more powerful longer lasting pump. I expected it to give me a energy boost to finish out reps. What I didn’t expect was an increase in my ability to hit the cardio part of my work out harder and longer than I ever have. I am a naturally big guy 6'3" 230lbs and I have exercise induced asthma so it goes with out saying "I HATE CARDIO!" but I would always force myself to do it anyway because I wanted a lean physique. Before BSN No-Xplode after a mile-mile 1/2 I was done I was breathing deep and wheezing a bit. I don’t know if its the nitric-oxide or the caffeine or what but taking this stuff just before my workout helps me fly through my sets then when I am ready for cardio I can go 30 min and No wheezing, No coughing, No problem! I have recently stacked this with BSN nitric and my pump, cardio vascular endurance has gone to a whole new level!

Unbelievable energy and enduranceApril 07, 2008
Reviewer: Barbie from Johannesburg, South Africa
When I say I have tried every product I heard was the one for energy and endurance, I am not kidding. I have been taking NO Xplode for a week now and wow..... I work in an environment that is 24 hours, and I have always been to tired to go to the gym. But now, I am so energized and really have a lot more power when training. Much more endurance. Nothing normally works on me at all, now if I could just find the fat burner that works like this does, I will finally begin losing weight. The only thing that gets me is the breakout on my back. Is this normal.
Its not for everyoneApril 04, 2008
Reviewer: Dave from Waterbury, CT
I have taken NO-Xplode as well as Super Pump and Black Powder.... I have to be honest, the NO-Xplode is the best of the three as well as the best tasting. It depends on the person. I seem to lose a lot of water weight with this stuff and has gotten me cut. I enjoy the product, just be careful. Go a month on and then a month off. It tends to suck all the water out of you and then you may have trouble with fissures.
SuperPump is the bestApril 01, 2008
Reviewer: Vince from Dallas, TX, USA
Over the past 2 years I have tried 3 different types of NO pre-workout. NO Explode by BSN, Nano Vapor by Muscletech and Superpump250 by Gaspari Nutrition. NO Explode is the most popular and the best seller. This was recommended by guys who know what they are talking about. Those same guys now use Superpump. I am about 2 weeks into my first jar of Superpump and the difference is obvious. After using NO EXP. and Cellmass and not really being able to actually see or feel the progress other than a normal workout. Superpump is the bomb. I know it is working. I can feel it and see it. BSN has some cool packaging and Ronnie Henderson on the ads, but don't be fooled. They are already working on a different formula for Cellmass because it is not proven and doesn't work.

I got NO Xplode the other day and asked about how to take it, the bloke at the gnc store said its great but if i dont recover properly then il be in some pain and wont improve (no shit) but he suggested i take Cellmass and Syntha 6 for best results. so i have got all of them, and am ready to crack the seal and use em. Iv read many reveiws on this site about NO-X and most point to it being great and works better then most other supplements, but the few iv seen that are agaisnt it are just people who are saying "boo hoo, i feel sick when i take it, i feel bad, waa waa". i was wondering, did these people happen to READ THE DAMN BOTTLE?. It says that it may happen if not used right, and these people are saying "oh well i took 3 scoops for my first day using it"..... Idiots! read the bottle. yes there is some side effects, but you dont expect a smooth run, its a supplement, not a magic powder that will magicly make u strong, sacrifice! sometimes its nessercary! and NO-X dosnt seem to have many compared to others. cheers. :D

Reviewer: Scott from USA
I am 19 and have been taking No Explode for about a year. I know most of yall are looking to get pumped fast but this product isn't the product if your looking for that. I admit it gives you alot of energy but it didnt really give me the results that I really wanted. If yall are lookin to get jacked quick I recomend taking Animal Stack Universal along with the regular protien stuff such as: Whey, Protien, and or glutamine if you want to recover faster. I had the most results with Animal stack, Whey, and No explode in my year of working out with it. I have gained 160 on my bench while taking them. I would take No explode purely for Energy b/c it wont get you big like the others will.
InsaneMarch 23, 2008
Reviewer: Chris from Atlanta, GA
I was tired of being skinny, so one of my marine friends overseas told me to try out N.O. Xplode. I'm on my 3rd or 4th week now, and I already see drastic changes in my body.
Keep in mind that if you're trying to build muscle mass, you still need to eat tons of omega-3 fatty acids, carbs, calories, potassium, and protein. It seems like N.O. Xplode works more effectively the better you eat. Follow the directions exactly as it says and drink lots of water. N.O. Xplode gives me so much intensity, when I work out I feel like incredible hulk and can lift MUCH more than if I don't take it. This is only my second month working out and I'm already pumping 400 pounds (max weight on the machine) on seated leg press like it's nothing. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT. The only side effects I get is having to crap soon after taking it. Do your research on what kinds of food to eat and you'll be good.

Is it Worth It? Is it FDA Approved?March 07, 2008
Reviewer: Chaz from Crum Lynne, Pennsylvania
Ive used NO Xplode probably about 1 year or so with 12 week cycles. It really worked for me in the beginning. Like I had crazy energy and power and I beleive it allowed me to gain more mass BUT, i did have some side affects like increased stomach iritation, crazy speeding, heart palpitatations, etc. It made me think "what am I putting in my body?" I mean we dont really know do we? The product is relatively new, is not FDA approved (like most supplements) So what are we getting? Ephedra was pulled off the market after a anumber of people died along with many other products. I know it works and it works well, I just wonder what health affects it has on my body and that kind of scares me. the following is an excerpt regarding one ingredient found in NO Xplode - GPA: The chief danger from propionic acid is chemical burns that can result from contact with the concentrated liquid. In studies on laboratory animals, the only adverse health effect associated with long-term exposure to small amounts of propionic acid has been ulceration of the esophagus and stomach from consuming a corrosive substance. No toxic, mutagenic, carcinogenic, or reproductive effects have ever been observed. In the body, propionic acid is readily metabolized, so it does not bioaccumulate.
A recent publication by MacFabe and colleagues found that intraventricular infusions of propionic acid produced reversible behavior that was very similar to that seen in autism. Behaviors included: hyperactivity, dystonia, turning, retropulsion. In addition, the treated rats demonstrated caudate spiking and the progressive development of limbic kindled seizures. The paper concludes that this is an excellent animal model of autism and warrants further study (MacFabe, 2007). I have GERD (Gastro-eosphogial reflux desease) and so I have to be careful of any acids in my body due to their corrosive effects and heartburn. I say "Caveat Emptor", let the buyer beware. Definitely use at your own risk.

Reviewer: Johnathon from AL
I am 22 years old, and have been working out steadily for 4-5 years. I was taking a walmart version of NO EXPLODE for about 2 months untill a friend recomended this product to me. He gave me a few scoops and told me to take 1 scoop, 20min before workout. I did, and saw no different results. The next day I took 2 1/2 scoops 20min before workout(i actually shook it up)The results were astonishing. I went from doing 3 sets (155,165,175) of 5 and only completing 2 of the last set. To benching 4 sets (155,165,175,185) completely!
ADVISE: (1)Make sure you are used to having lots of caffine in your system, for first week only use 1 scoop. (2) DRINK 120 OZ. OF WATER PER DAY! (3)KEY TO BUILDING MUSCLE MASS: TAKE IN 1-2 GRAMS OF PROTEIN PER LB. OF DESIRED BODY WEIGHT!
WORSE SIDE EFFECT:I work out at night, and it keeps me up for several more hours after Im ready to sleep...but I don't care, It's deffinately worth it

For gods sake people read the ENTIRE back of the bottle before you start taking it. Theres a few really good points back there like #1 DO NOT SHAKE when mixing with water, stir. #2 start with 1 scoop wait 30 min and see how you feel. I personally translated that into take 1 scoop your first few days and then try increasing. I guess I have a high tolerance because I take 1 scoop on days off and 3 scoops before I workout. LMAO at all the poeple reviewing about stomach problems etc, READ THE BOTTLE!!!

Reviewer: Cory G from CA
My old favorite Creatine was Cell Tech, thats what IU would call first gen creatine, where you had loading phases and took like 10 scoops a day. Not so anymore and of the new Creatines Ive tries I like this stuff. I take 1 scoop on my days of in the morning about 30 min before I eat my oatmeal mixed with protien powder. On workout days I take 3 soops 30 min before going to the gym. And take protein within 40 min of getting back from gym. I tried stacking this stuff with Nitrix (also BSN product) didnt really notice a difference. BUT you have to try BSN's SYNTHA 6--protein, it is amazing taste and its a protein blend which means you get instant protein from whey and slow release protein from casein and egg.

Reviewer: GEORGE WASZCZUK from LONG BEACH, CA
I have been using BSN N.O. Xplode off and on for a few years, so i should have written this review a while ago. anyway the product is like clockwork. I have learned to take it 30-45 minutes before the workout and like clockwork in 30 minutes i hit the bathroom and it cleans my clock everytime. Mind you this is a good thing. That is why they say take it on an empty stomach or its going to clear anything in there regardless. After doing the bathroom routine everytime, the caffeine and arginine kick in and im fired up to pump some 'ron. I will usually do 2.5-3.0 scoops and it really fires you mentally and physically. For those people who get stomach aches etc . . . follow the directions and do it on an empty stomach or time it to expect a trip to the bathroom regardless. It's an awesome product, I highly recommend it for sure, BUT READ THE DIRECTIONS
NOXplodeFebruary 27, 2008
Reviewer: RIck from London, UK
I started using nox and cellmass for the xmas period as i was away.
My personal prob is that because i have a very high metabolism, i lose size v easily, and find it v hard to keep my calories up as i live a very busy lifestyle. Im a professional dancer so im constantly doing cardio throughout the day (dance class) and tryna put on another stone in muscle.
Cellmas was excellent for keeping my size on which i put down to the glutamine.
NOX unfortunately wasn't great, only used it for a week, but i would be working out and have the shakes. feel real dizzy. as i dont drink any caffeine, im putting it down to my lack of caffeine tolerance.
Had to stop training a couple times, felt like i was gnr faint. however a friend says its been great for him
N.O.- Xplode Works KindaFebruary 27, 2008
Reviewer: Rick from Razorback Country
I've been using NO-Xplode on and off for the past two years. Currently I'm in a stage of my workout that involves high resistance cardio with an emphasis on caloric management. I’ve been using it on this cycle for about two months and have seen good gains on distance and calories burned, while decreasing time and increasing resistance. I’ve never experienced the massive “pumps “or garden hose veins even when using the product for muscle gaining. I have experienced the focus and drive that come from NO-Xplode as well as the increased energy, but I suspect that is due to the Methylxanthine (caffeine). If you’re looking for something to kick start your workout this product is for you. I recommend the Orange flavor, it tastes like sherbet. Beware some online retailers. Your No-Explode should be sealed. It should also be the consistency of a very fine powder. If it is grainy send it back.

Reviewer: Matt from Georgia
Okay. I stacked NO-Xplode w/ Norateen Heavyweight II and Cellmass recently within the past few days and ALREADY I have jumped probably 20-30 pounds on everything I did if not more, plus more reps. I am incredibly sore because it enabled me to push my muscles to the limits, but after drinking Cellmass the soreness is cut in half. NO-X w/ Norateen before I worked out and cellmass afterwards and night, I felt like I could work out ALL day, never got tired, pushed HEAVY weights, and I felt so good I did my legs AND chest that day. After taking it you feel angry in the gym, my energy level stayed consistent and I could hardly make myself wait in between sets because I was raring to go. Adds lean mass also, I have noticed my body becoming more dense and shaped at this point. Strength level is much higher than normal the days I take them.
N.O. Xplode?February 20, 2008
Reviewer: Walker L. from Houston, Texas
I recently saw this on the shelf of my local GNC and the cashier highly recommended it. This morining I did as he told me and took one scoop of it (i don't recommend grape flavor, and yes i did stir, not shake). I felt normal until about half way through the day when I felt a bit of dizzyness (not much) and slight numbness in my arms and chest. I was also concerned about how jumped my heart rate was (and yes, I know that's what its supposed to do) even when I wasn't doing anything. I would say that even after taking this only one day, ONLY take it about 30 min. to 1 hr. before your work out. I think this product would be good to use along with Whey protien.

I work out five days a week and really hard. Try it out it works! By the way i just got Nitrix and cell mass and they work amazing with N.O. Xpxlode too.

For a guy that just turned 30 and has never consistently worked out, NO-Explode is a dream. Starting out I could barlely lift 35lb weights on an Olympic bar bell, after about 4 months I am up about 200lbs. Very good to work out with, but I would not over do it. It has affected my stomach a bit and makes me some what edgy. Other than that, its great stuff. If you take, just give yourself a full work out to burn off the energy gained... but again, don't over do it. Also, buy lots of plastic cups.. you'll need them.

Reviewer: The Point Is from Land of Great Lakes
NO Xplode is stacked with CellMass, which is an after-workout creatine,
a year ago i took NO Xplode by itself, it worked well and i became much stronger over a 3-4 month period, but that included eating well and lifting everyday, but i mean it when i say i became much stronger - point is you can just take this and regular protein, if you do it right, and see improvement
anyways im going to start taking NO Xplode again, but this time i will stack it with CellMass, the after-workout creatine stack, --
point is you can take it either way

Reviewer: Rami from Dayton, OH USA
hey sir, thanks for ur post it will help me a lot with my workouts. but 1 thing make sure that u dont exceed working out or u can cause an "over-lift" (i think thats what they call it), because u can do some serious damage to your heart and end up in a hospital in a couple of years. just wanted u 2 know. o yeah i heard from a friend that if u shake it with water it is bad 4 u, so should i just stir it instead? please write me back thanks so much.

Best supplement I've ever takenFebruary 07, 2008
Reviewer: Vitaly from Chicago, IL USA
This is by far the best supplement I have ever taken (have taken Hypershock before which had similar effects but not same results). It gives me amazing mental focus as well as unbelievable pump. I have been taken it for about a month. My bench press went up from 225 1MR to 300 1MR. I now warm up with 225! No side effect of any kind. I take No Explode 30 min before workout and Cellmass rght afterwards. I also drink Syntha-6 protein shakes throughout the day (cookies and cream taste is my favorite) or Nitrotech Hardcore. Tried taking Nitrix from BSN stack, but I don't think it works.

Reviewer: Dylan from Pittsburgh, PA
well im 15, ill be 16 in about 2 months. alot of my friends were taking this and talked me into trying it. it was the most amazing thing ive ever felt. i was pumped. i was doing 140 on flat bench when i usually do about 120. you dont get tired, and for me it felt like my arems went numb. my hearbeat went up and i urinate alot while on this. but the big concern with me was the creatine. it is known to mess with your kidneys but i wasnt worried about that. i heard a few things about muscle cramps and i play 3 sports. i dont want any muscle cramps. but im going to stick with it because i already noticed results after 1 month
Love it, just had my first side effect thoughFebruary 05, 2008
Reviewer: Sean from Montreal, Quebec. Canada
I love this product. I've been taking it for about a month now and its helped me a ton. It tastes great, it works great and it feels great. I've only been taking one scoop to one and a half scoops up until today when I decided to add a second. Bad idea. I have a very high caffeine tollerance ... so I dont know why this happened, but after an absolutely amazing and intense workout, feeling fine i hit the treadmill. I was just walking at a pace setting of 3 on the machine with 1 incline and my heart rate suddenly jumped from 132 to 179 and the machine set off an alarm. I immediately have a panic attack thinking Im going to die and stop the treadmill and sat down to monitor my heart rate till It went down. It took about 5 minutes of sitting and I settled at 104. Which compared to 179 made me quite happy that I wasnt going to explode, pun intended. Regardless, I think Im going to take a few days off and start again with 1 scoop for a while and then build up to 1 and a half and leave it there for a long long time. Or do you guys think I should just kill it and stop alltogether? I dont see why I Should ... but anyways. Overall, love this product, I guess my tolerance is limited to below 2 scoops though.
Good mass builder, bad generallyFebruary 04, 2008
Reviewer: Reviewer from California
I'd say that anyone wanting to get the same energy rush they experience from the caffeine just drink something from Starbucks before their work out. I have experienced arrhythmia after ingesting this product as well as increased blood pressure. Long term side effects are not worth the mass gain. Just take creatine/something similar and drink coffee = same thing minus negative side effects.

This stuff is like the original ephedrine based ripped fuel on steroids. I'm 40 and found myself dragging my ass in the gym. Took only half of the recommended dose and flew through all my workouts. Good stuff but I recommend you start with half the dose. Took the full dose twice and felt like my head was going to explode and my heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest. I wonder if this stuff has ephedrine in it because it sure feels like it !!!!

I've taken many supplements before, but nothing comes ANYWHERE close to NO EXPLODE. Tonight was my first time taking it... I did not expect much. My buddy and I workout every night and usually do about 10-15 reps of everything. Tonight I was doing up to 30 reps of everything multiple times. My friend and I were totally amazed. NO EXPLODE is worth every penny!

Great Product!January 19, 2008
Reviewer: Devin from Ontario, Canada
I have been using this product on and off for a couple years now. I am 21 years old and I must say I am amazed by the results I achieved from this product. Over a period of less than 3 months last summer, My gains were incredible. I started the summer being able to bench a max 200lbs, maybe 1 or 2 reps...each workout I would amaze myself with my gains, and by the end of the three months I had reached my goal of benching 310lbs max and 275 8-10 reps. Yes the size effects are there, diareah, restlessness, but I find that after taking it for a while the body seems to get used to it and it doesnt have the negative effects anymore. Anyway, great product, give it a shot, but start off with a lower amount. Cheers.

Reviewer: MMA freak from USA
I have cycled off of No-X for the holidays and just got back on it. Pro's: I have seen major improvements in strength, endurance, and drive. Con's - I have all the side effects when only taking one scoop: stomach pains, diarhea, and head aches. I guess there is no pain no gain. I like the product I just think they should tone it down a little for the average joe's. If you have a strong stomach this product is for you. If not I would not pay for this over priced product.
Awesome stuffJanuary 11, 2008
Reviewer: Phil Draversky from Ontario, Canada
I used NOX last year, as a trial run, and the workouts were awesome and full of energy. I have dropped down from 262lbs to 220lbs, with proper diet and tons of cardio. I still have another 20 lbs to drop, to be able to see striations. This is an awesome product and I would suggest people to use it but because everybody's chemistry is different, we all react differently as well( so use it carefully)I have a high caffine tolerance.
On a slightly different note,I would like to know, if any of you have tried NOX and hydroxycut hardcore at the sametime. If you have please, post your reviews on possible side effects.
NO -HEAD- EXPLODEJanuary 10, 2008
Reviewer: Handlex from TORONTO, CAN
I bought this product because of all the good stuff I've read about it on this website. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now. I have to say NO3 OVERLOAD gave me much..much better results in terms of strength, fatigue resistance and muscle pumps. I feel very sleepy during my workouts when I use this product for some reason.
Not to mention the massive headaches that I get also during the workouts which is very discouraging. But I have to finish it since I paid over $60 canadian for it. Taste on the other end is excellent. I hope this helps.

Exploding headacheDecember 28, 2007
Reviewer: Splitting Head from Florida
I purchased NO Xplode and tried it for a couple of days. I started working out with the recommended dosage but did not see any performance increases. I continued to take it for about two weeks. On the second week I worked legs and my head felt like it was going to explode; I felt as if pressure built up in my head and had nowhere to go. Not knowing what caused this I went to the gym the next day and did a back workout. I got the same feeling like my head was going to explode, I had to stop my workout. I stopped NO Xplode and saw my doctor who advised me to stay off the product and continue workouts as normal. After a week of not using NO Xplode I performed the same workouts with the same weights and all was fine. I personally would NOT recommend this product it did nothing for my strenght gains. It's over priced and over rated.

jackedDecember 06, 2007
Reviewer: Izzy from Fostoria OH
I was in search of a product that would give me the energy and stamina to get thru my workouts. i was a former ephedrine user and since they took that product of the shelves i needed something to get me Jacked! I began researching no products and this one kept coming up. I have never experienced the energy levels and the crazy pumps that nox provides from any other product period! I cycle it with the nitrix and cellmass. Also use a protein supp.
Tips: Drink atleast a gallon of water a day. take on empty stomach. Take 500mil of vitamin c with it. the vit c helps the body absorb the nitric oxide more efficiently. I just started doing this and it made a huge difference with the pump factor. make sure you have plenty of tp on hand cuz you will shit! Especially if you get up to 3 scoops. Go heavy or go home.

Reviewer: Shtick from LA, USA
i have just started taking NO xplode. i understand where all these concerns are coming from however all of these symtoms being described, irregular heart beat, sleeplesness, are all side effects of the caffine. if you drink to much coffee these same thingxs will happen. the trick is that after your workout, flush out the unused product by drinking 3-4 litres of water. that way any caffine left in your system will be flushed out and no sickness or sleeplessness will occour.

Just BodyBuilding?? How about FibromyalgiaNovember 30, 2007
Reviewer: Julianne from Indianapolis, Indiana
I always wanted to be a bodybuilder because they all seemed in touch with what is healthy for the body...but that never happened. But give me credit for being into exercise and watching what I eat..
I am 41 years old female--and I have suffered from depression all my life----Well all of a sudden the summer of 2007--my body went totally out of chemcial imbalance and I couldn't understand it--it felt like my circulation was poor, I had Fibromyalgia, I was in such pain.d I was slim and had exercised all mylife I did not understand.. My friend who has diabetes said No-Explode gave him energy and approved his nerve pain--he recommened No-explode. I have tried it and it has made me feel better--where I can heal from Fibromyalgia---and I am going into menopause.
Really--I thought I was going to die and I did not understand how important nitrate oxide was for your body. This product has helped me mend from Fibromyalgia and I can work out...
of course I have to go very small doses--and sometimes I give my body a break.
But I think this product is TERRIFIC and I hope to be in the best health I can possible get.
I would advise if you have any health problems to start very small doses and work yourself up...and take breaks from it.
Skeptical, but I see resultsNovember 27, 2007
Reviewer: YGD from VAUSA
A little background before the review since my usage/exercise patterns are not as extreme as some of those posted here.
A friend suggested BSN products when I asked him about effective supplements for working out. I purchased one container of NO Xplode (1.81lbs, orange) and Cellmass (1.41lbs, grape) over a month ago and they are about 1/4 remaining still, so comment is based on partial experience.
I use 1 scoop of NOX in an 8oz glass of water about 20-60 minutes before the workout, drink water during the workout (and before and after too, of course), and then drink 1 scoop Cellmass in 8oz glass of water soon after the workout.
I tend to workout out less than 90 minutes (average around 60) at a stretch, and focus on a couple major body parts each day. I exercise 4-6 times a day, and on occasion run before and after work.
OBSERVATIONS:
* More energy (probably the caffeine)
* More frequent urination (also probably the caffeine)
* Increased strength (went from standing curls 95lbs to 115lbs, bench press 170lbs to 200lbs, etc, although some of this was just increases from exercising since I've been going to the gym off and on for about a year for the first time in a decade)
* More striation (this is a noticeable change in the last month from the prior 11 months; before I was re/gaining visible mass, but now I also see striated muscles, particularly in chest and shoulders and I haven't lost any significant weight recently)
* Veins slightly more visible
* My wife's noticed the increases, and has even asked me to promise that I won't get too big from exercising
SIDE EFFECTS
The first day or two, I felt a certain queasiness from the NOX. Since then, I haven't experienced the shits, stomach cramps, pain, depression, feeling like a crash, etc, afterwards like some have reported. Quite likely this is because I'm only taking 1 scoop instead of 2-4 like some people are doing. It might also be because my workouts are shorter in duration, which might have an effect on energy/adrenalin/hormones, etc.
I do notice that I occasionally bite my nails now. Not sure if it's related to the nervous energy, dietary deficiency, other life stress, etc. It's an old childhood habit that resurfaces occasionally, but it's been more prevalent lately, not sure if others noticed this when taking the supplement.
I suggest that if anyone is having side effects, try taking a break from the supplements and/or the workout, use smaller dosages, vary your workout routine, or evaluate your diet for compounding factors (like those that have posted that they already drink a cup or more of coffee a day).
I'd recommend this product based on my first month's experience with a caveat about keeping the dosage low to get slower but still noticeable results.
Scary ExperianceNovember 27, 2007

I am a regular at the gym for about 2years now and have read heaps of reviews and testimonials on how no-explode is the shit. I tried 2scoops of it for the first time and didn't feel much for the first hour of my training then all of a sudden my pulse started racing and i felt lightheaded. It got so bad to the point where I had to retreat to the mens room and sit in a cubicle cuz I thought I was going to pass out. Fuckin scary ay.. This product may work for some people but I have to say be careful, obviously there is way to much caffeine in it for the body to handle safely...
Takes you new places, try it you'll never train without itNovember 23, 2007
Reviewer: EmDog from Detroit, Michigan
I have been lifting for a while now and taking whey protein, I work out six out of seven days a week doing one full day of cardio along with cardio every other day with my weight lifting. THis stuff is great! I've only been getting slow improvement in my muscles the last three months but since the last four days my muscles have been continuelly pumped. Make sure you drink at least 120 oz of water a day though for it to really work. And yes you'll probably have to go to the bathroom every hour or so but it's deffinetly worth it. Plus you won't get any hangover or stomach pains after if you drink water. I'm glad I got this stuff, I've gone up ten pounds in everything so far and can already see muscle gains. Try It! you really will never train without it

At first I was I thought I pissed more money away on stupid supplements. But after using NO Explode for a month I really began to feel and see a difference!

Some people at the gym even asked me what I taking. They see the difference. I didn't care for the fruit punch, too sweet! But the orange is good. I recommend this product.

Good product, but a few TIPSNovember 09, 2007
Reviewer: Lance from WV, USA
Ihave been on this for about 2 and a half months now. i have gained close to 10 pounds in muscle and my bench has gone up 20 pounds. I am 17 and i have been lifting since i was 14. im 5,8 and 172 lbs. i got on this to balk up for hockey season. some tips- **TAKE ON EMPTY STOMACH** < cannot stress that enough. drink alot of water while u work out as well. I fill up a milk jug of water and finish it by the end of the day. this is important because it keeps you hydrated, increases your workout, and this product contains small ammounts of creatine (which is very stressful on the kidneys, same with protein) so be sure to drink lots of water. You will piss aton but its worth it.
i highly recemend you stack N.O. with Whey protein. some people like Syntha 6 but it has half the daily intake of cholesterol in one serving and more calories than whey. Also when taking this product you will most likely get the shits. I always have to poop about 25 minutes after i take it so while im waiting to start lifting i poop and then im good until i take it again the next day(its only temporary). also, with any creatine product you should go 2 weeks on it and then take a week off, or 3 weeks on it and 2 weeks off. Creatine is harmful so u must drink alot of water and spread out servings. (If you stack with whey) it is also important you take your serving of whey protein right after your lift. I hope i could help you out and you take my advice, i have talked to Dr.s and trainers about supplements so im not just getting this off random web sites and making it up. Good luck and keep hitten the weights hard.

This supplement didn't work as well for me as other pre-workout supplements. I drink 3-4 cups of coffee a day, so I feel very little energy from NO-X. I have to take four scoops to feel an energy rush.
If you take in a lot of caffeine per day, you probably won't feel it either. Take Superpump 250, it's much more effective.

The only reason I give this 4 stars is because you tend to build a tolerance to it. Other than that great energy, you'll feel more solid on mornings of the following week and it will leave you wondering when you've had enough. 2 scoops on reg. workouts, 3 scoops when maxing out.

i just read someone on here said the come down is like cocaine!?wow...no.if you drink water like your supposed to and have a healthy diet you should not feel anything like that.ive never gotten a headache or had a "hangover" or "come down" from this ever.just massive strenght and size gains and much better mental focus during the workout.dont let some people scare you,if you are healthy then this product is amazing.

Started NO xplode on Monday October 15th, weight 160lb, bench 180 5 times as of the 14th of october. Took horsepower creatine for a month before didn't work at all. I started taking NO xplode and feel like an animal, have been to the gym 4 times on it so far and love it. My works is 1hr30mins of strength/endurance training for upperbody and this stuff is insane. I feel the best tiime to go is 40-50 after u take it then go to the gym, caffeine takes a long time to hit the body. I will tell you that this product gave me headaches the first 2 days and i only take one scoop a day or this stuff cause u have to build up tolerance.

Reviewer: Mccrary from chattanooga ,TN
i got this stuff today and tried it out for the first time...man this stuff really does get you pumped for a workout...the only thing i didnt like was the crash...about an hour after working out i started to get tremors in my hands...but other than that its great..def. worth the money
Awsome !!!!October 20, 2007
Reviewer: Mahyar from AUCKLAND , NEW ZEALAND
This product is awsome. it works real. Its a very good supplement for pumping ur musceles up and trainning with tonnes of energy. you'll notice the result at the first day of taking it. and after 2, 3 weeks you'll see a Big difference. I mean good muscele size and strength.
But be carefull. if you ever had a history of depression or anxiety, heart problem,high or low blood pressure, don't even think about using this product.
apart from these problems above, its a real working supplement.
the only thing that can give u such a fast and huge result after steriod, is NO-Xplod.
Good Stuff but follow the instructionsOctober 19, 2007
Reviewer: Tyler from Edmonton, AB, Canada
This stuff worked great for me. The first day not so much but I only took 1 scoop. It seemed that when my workout was over, I still had a ton of energy. The next day I took 2 scoops, waited half an hour, and hit the gym. I felt alright but didn't feel that strong until about half an hour later. The third day I still took 2 scoops, but waited a full hour before hitting the gym. This time I felt like an animal. I was throwing the weights up easily and upped my weight on dumbbell press by 5 pounds and barbell curls by 10 pounds. My muscles felt huge. I had been using purple k previously for about a month straight and seemed to be stuck at a plateau. This stuff helped my push past that in only 3 days! My advice to you is: don't eat anything within an hour of drinking this stuff(or you may have to drop a deuce before you workout)and figure out how many scoops to take and how long it takes to kick in. Also drink plenty of water and you'll be good to go. Trust me this stuff is amazing.
It works!October 19, 2007
Reviewer: Fred from Florida
Tried this stuff for the first time tonite and wow did i surprise myself. Before I took this, I can only dumbbell curl up to 25 lbs consistently, but I get tired fast. Tonite I went up to 40 lbs! and did 2 sets of 5 reps! I never used 40 lbs before. Also my resting time was really cut short as I felt that I couldn't stop lifting. If you want results--rock solid body especially chest and arms, you've got to try this. Thanks BSN for a formula that gets results!
this stuff is greatOctober 18, 2007
Reviewer: Compmanxx from Reading, PA USA
it is true on the lable when it says once you try it you will never train without it. It gives me a great boost as soon as i start to lift. Also my vains really pop out. I used it for about a month and my max went up 35 pounds and i only took one scoop
AwesomeOctober 17, 2007
Reviewer: Dan from USA
I have taken no-explode for about three weeks now and i've noticed a huge difference. the first day i took it my max bench went up 25 pounds. my pumps were just exploding and in between sets instead of just sitting on the bench i was like paceing around and such. however it did make me feel light headed and a little shaky. overall i would give this product a 10 out of 10.

WowOctober 07, 2007
Reviewer: R - Diesel from Tennesse
I have to say that this is the best supplement I have ever taken. I was taking whey protien and creatine three weeks ago and just wasnt seeing the gains I wanted so I thought I would give N.O. Explode a shot. Now that I have been on it for three weeks I love it. I have made gains on everything including adding 40 pounds onto my bench. This stuff is awesome, the taste isn't very good (orange flavor) and it does make me have to use the bathroom more than usual, but with gains like this the side effects are worth it.
No-xplodeOctober 07, 2007
Reviewer: D.A from New York City
I was skeptical when I tried this, since I have been an on and off gym rat through the years and have spent tons of money on all the fads. But this product within 3 days really started working. My gains are crazy. I am on my second container and it really works. I do take one scoop in the morning just for a pick me up and one before a workout later in the day. I do feel it can be slightly addicting. I did not take it yesterday and I felt it.

Reviewer: Quentin from Horsham, PA USA
I've used GNC Nitro Explosion, Ragnarok, and now NO-Xplode. Out of the three I would have to say that the GNC brand is by far the best choice if it is on sale for cheaper than NO-Xplode.
A ton of PROs and A ton of CONsOctober 04, 2007
Reviewer: C.P.S. from Winona, MN
I first began taking this supplement about 3 weeks ago. In the past I tried GNC creatines of all types- none seemed to do much of anything. I decided to spend the extra bucks (One downside of NO Explode) and try something new. IT WAS WORTH IT! My Bench weight increased by about 20 lbs in less than 3 weeks, and my workouts almost doubled in legth and sets.
THE DOWNSIDES (Which there are many)
-Getting the Shits (It really screws with your intestines)
-Emotional effects-- If you have had any history with depression DO NOT take this! The come-down of NO Explode is similar to Aderall or Cocaine (THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH)
-Very Expensive-- You can find some deals online, so search for it.
Overall though, if you are fine with the side effects and want to get big really fast, this is the stuff for you.
Bang for Your BuckOctober 02, 2007
Reviewer: Mr. Clemmywinks from Radford, VA
I started taking NO Xplode to help me get over a plateau I reached. I immediately felt the effects, I couldn't get to the gym fast enough! It definitely gives better pumps and quicker recovery time in between sets and overnight. It almost feels like an adrenaline rush for like an hour straight. It's pretty powerful but on the third week of my first cycle, the effects were starting to wear off. Definitely cycle it as recommended or you will become dependent. It is absolutely worth the price, try getting it at www.massnutrition.com, they are a pretty good site.

Reviewer: Guam purebred grappler from Dededo, GU USA
im a 185lb bodybuilder and i keep most of my workouts old school, simple and natural but, every once in a while when i feel i need to step it up a notch i look to supplements..NO-XPLODE is one of the supplements i look to..just this supplement alone really allows me to have more intense workouts...i notice much much shorter rest periods..lots of endurance..and strong focus,and through out the years i work out with just protein, hard work and good diet alone..but everytime i take NO-XPLODE i really feel that intense boost and mindset to kiil it at the gym..and for me THATS hell of a product!! try it OUT!! also the side effects i have felt are pretty much just minor stomach aches and a really hard time to go to sleep hahah..but other than that i dont drink coffee or too much caffeine so it works well for me..not just with weight training but also competetive wrestling and jiu jitsu!! its an all around supplement for the seriouse athlete!!
What worked for meSeptember 28, 2007
Reviewer: Robert from Mosul, Iraq
I am currently stacking MRI N02 black, MRI CE2, BSN NO-xplode and BSN True Mass and I'm getting great results. I take one scoop of NO-xplode in the morning with 5 pills of NO2 black and 2 pills of CE2. I then wait about 30 minutes and follow up with a 3 scoop True Mass protien shake. If you eat breakfast wait an additional 20 minutes after the protien shake before you eat. I repeat the same cycle before lunch. About 2 to 3 hours after lunch I take one moore scoop of BSN NO-xplode and hit the. After my workout I follow it up with one more protien shake. I do this everyday and am on a 4 day workout cycle with one rest day. I have been doing this now for a little over a month and am seeing great results. try it out if you like but it will take a good month before you see results but while ou are working out you will deffinently feel and see the pump while working out. You need to hit the gym hard while doing this and watch what you eat

Reviewer: Mike from Boston
It did wake me up a little, but the guy who had his bench go from 270 to 450 is sharing supplements with Barry Bonds. The one thing I can say is that it helps me get a decent workout when I'm completely unmotivated and thats worth something. Another thing I noticed is that the product gives me a hangover when it wears off (not good). I've only tried it for a few days so maybe I need to let it kick in.

Not All That but SomethingSeptember 18, 2007
Reviewer: NutriMan from UT USA
I like the flavors. I got it for the Citrulline Malate combined with two forms of Creatine, Creatine Ethyl Ester Malate, and Di-Creatine Malate that I wanted to try. For me the product helps me recover from a full workout more than helping during the workout. Micronized creatine monohydrate still helps me best during workouts taken in small amounts sub-lingually before and during my workout. I avoid using creatine monohydrate in water because it can turn it into the byproduct creatine. I don't know if that would apply with the other types of creatine that are in N.O. Xplode. The main problem about NO Xplode is the caffeine. They say that each scoop has 100 mg of caffeine in it. Many studies have suggested that high doses of caffeine interfere with the performance enhancing effects of creatine. For some reason caffeine increases the time for the muscle to regenerate or recover between sets. N.O. Xplode may be more efficiently used by the body with only one dose (scoop) or less because each scoop will increase the amount of caffeine in your body decreasing the effectiveness of the product or it's creatine in it. Also, Creatine may increase the amount of times you need to urinate. Caffeine will also increase your frequency to urinate. Double whammy on the bladder. Every person differs in the way they react to foods, supplements, and drugs. Sensitivity to caffeine is one of those factors that may block the wanted effect of this product. So, use sparingly and maybe get other parts of N.O. Xplode from other sources. Such as getting Di-Creatine Malate and Citrulline Malate in its pure powder form and experiment on how your body will best use the products. Delivery is a key component of the product but it still depends on each individual's biological make-up and how well it will work for them.
no explodeSeptember 17, 2007
Reviewer: Jerms from Boston
This product takes a few days to load to notice the results. I felt amazing results using NO Explode. I felt jacked for hours after use. I used to drink about 3 servings per day. Like other people have said, it has bad side effects! Do not take with coffee, it will feel like your on crack or some shit with headaches later! Im 160 lbs and am easily repping 205lbs for 2-3 sets. Rumor has it someone had a heart attack taking this product. Overall the product works, but use carefully.
Not a lot of CaffineSeptember 14, 2007
Reviewer: Frank from Midwest
Just so everyone knows, I talked to a representative from the company and she stated that 1 scoop of the product has the same amount of caffine as half a cup of coffee. I do not know if other ingrediants in the product amplify this...but thats what they said.

Don't take it after having coffeeSeptember 08, 2007
Reviewer: Jason from Atlanta, GA
The product definitely gets you pumped up and allows you to workout longer and harder, however, I experienced a few side effects. This was probably do to something I did. I had a cup of coffee about 15 minutes before I consumed 1 scoop of NO. At first I felt fine but as I started working out I got over stimulated and felt almost high. My breathing became deeper and more pronounced. I had to keep moving because of the energy. I wasn't crazy about this feeling because I didn't feel like myself. I was concerned my heart rate would get to fast so I purposely tried to ignore the urge to go fast. The buzz lasted for several hours after my workout. Word to the wise, stay away from coffee when taking this product. Try to space your consumption of coffee far away from taking this product.

NOT GOOD STUFFSeptember 06, 2007
Reviewer: David from Ewing, NJ USA
I have tried NO-Xplode a few times and did not think much of it. It had a pretty good taste but did not think much else of it plus the fact that I crashed like a freakin tidal wave. It gave me a little energy but that is about and gave me a headache. I recently purchased this new shit out there my friend recommended called the Basix. It gave me a lot of energy and I did not crash at all. It actually has some Vitamin C which is awesome, because no other preworkout drinks, at least that I know of has it, and everyone knows that Vitamin C is mad good for recovery. it has some other good shit in it too and tastes mad good. I highly recommend the product plus it is cool that the product was actually made by a couple college kids who are into nutrition and exercise.

I have been working out for about six years and have usually not had a problem gaining strength as long as i ate right and got plenty of sleep. I have never taken any supplements before last year until a friend talked me into taking protein, i then progressed and tried N.O. explod and was amazed that something could give such a boost in power stamina and recovery. i not only looked much bigger while on it but i also felt alot stronger. i would recommend any one to try it, and just warn that you take it for about a month at a time so that you dont become dependent on it to work out

It gives me energy and good focus, but not as the miracle thing Ive heard about it. But the impressive thing is that Im lifting a lot more weight without the usual fatigue and recovery time. And even Im lifting more weight It seems to me easier than without consuming the product. Yesterday somebody asked me if I was on esteroids, because this guy saw me last week and couldnt believe the weight Im lifting right now and the full and short lapsus of time between my series. Excelent pre workout suplemment...

No-Xplode and CaffeineAugust 28, 2007
Reviewer: Jay Reidy from Pasadena, CA
No-Xplode lists methylxanthine as one of its ingredients. Caffeine is a methylxanthine. Using a four-syllable word just to confuse people borders on unethical.
Have a cup of tea if you want the same jolt.
Saying it has no caffeine, as one comment did is just plain incorrect.

CHEERS N.O XPLODE
TipsAugust 18, 2007
Reviewer: Dinger from Kansas City
I'm 17 years old and I've been lifting since i was 13 (taking NO Xplode for about a year now). My recommendations to anyone thinking about or currently taking this product are as follows:
1. Do not rely on NO Xplode for every single workout- use it for 2-3 weeks then stop for 1-2 weeks. This avoids building up a tolerance and developing a dependency. Also, when you take NO xplode after the hold off period the effects are very close to the first time ever using it.
2. Use it in the morning before eating anything. I started working out before eating and have seen great results as far as definition without compromising strength
3. To see great results you only need two products- Whey protein and NO Xplode. As soon as I started taking these two together (1 scoop of NO Xplode before a workout, protein shake immediately after a workout and another right before bed) all my lifts where going up and I was usually not sore

Reviewer: Dave from Las Vegas
I am a sceptic when it comes to suppliments. I currently cycle creatine and take whey and casian protente from EAS. I started taking NO-Xplode about 3 weeks ago and LOVE IT. For me, I can lift a bit longet in the gym and my recovery between stets seems to be shorter. I love the pumped feeling I get (especially on bi / and tri days). I have never recomended a suppliment, but I am always tauting this one.

Also stack with cellmass to help rejuvenate ur muscles after the workout or use a 100% whey protein. drink a lot of water and take a multivitamin and you'll get at least some results within the first two weeks.
Noitceable Results!August 12, 2007
Reviewer: S.S. from Chicago, IL.
Im going to be honest, im kicking myself in the a** right now becuase i stopped taking NoXplode for some reason. And I started using Creatine Monohydrate instead. I would stack NoXplode with 100% Whey protien and eat right. when i stopped taking it my bench dropped 35lbs. and noticed that i wasnt looking as "cut" and didnt feel as strong. Im a small guy @140lbs and before I was easily benching more than my wieght. Training in MMA, strength is one of the last things i can risk lacking especially when my training partners are between 155lbs and 220lbs. So Im getting back on it this week for sure, Its well worth it.
It works GREAT!!!August 12, 2007
Reviewer: Anonymous from Calgary, AB, Canada
I finally finished my 4 week stack of No-Explode, Cellmass, Syntha-6, Vitrix, and ZMA. I gained 14lbs, going from 170lbs to 184lbs working out 4-5 days a week for 1-2 hours.
Overall I could do with No-Explode alone. I didn't really notice the effects on day one. I felt like I had more energy but that was about it. It wasn't until the next day when I noticed the stuff working when my muscles felt like they had already recovered. This supplement helped me stay focused and allowed me to add 10-15lbs to each of my routines right from day 2. The effects grew the longer I was on the stuff. After I finished the first container, I stayed off the stuff for a couple of days to see if my weight went down like it does with other creatines I've tried. To my amazement I lost no weight.
If you stick to a rigorous workout schedule and diet properly you will definitely see results with this stuff.
Neuroscience studentAugust 10, 2007
Reviewer: J O from Toronto, ON Canada
I started lifting last year and really got into nutrition. I followed calorie diets and saw amazing results with creatine and whey protein. I used creatine for about 6 weeks and couldn't fit in any of my shirts. The problem i had with creatine is i would piss every hour/hour and a half and at least once in the middle of the night.
This summer i decided to try NO because some of my friends swear by it. They said it has the same effect of creatine but without the cycling, dealing with a delivery system, etc. I wasn't moved by all these claims.
I was surprised to learn in some of my courses that NO is categorized as an Unconventional Neurotransmitter; so i looked into it. I'm going to stay away from explaining what happens on a cellular level, but basically as a neurotransmitter it's classified both as as excititory and inhibitory.
So why does it work so well? For bodybuilders it acts as an excititory neurotransmitter, firing signals throughout your body and brain. One signal RELAXES smooth muscle. Smooth muscle lines your blood vessels ( dilates blood vessels, which explains veins popping out) and your stomach (which is why you hit the $h!tter 1-2 hours after a workout).
I remember reading something about people in Tibet that create a higher amount of NO in their bodies to dilate their veins in order to deal with the lack of oxygen.
Well, it all made sense so i tried it out this summer. I've been on it for about 5 weeks and see some great results. The first day i got on it I started with my usual (25lb dumbells) for arnold presses and thought, "Wtf?" So i moved to 30lbs; still too easy. 35: same thing. I was HAPPY to arnold press the 40lb dumbells with 3 sets of 8 reps in perfect form. My fourth set i had to go to 35 but DAMN what a rush. To me that's a huge gain and completely annihilated any form of doubt in my purchase.
Oh yeah, smooth muscle lines some parts of the penis (artery) and allows more blood to flow there also. ;) Also NO is a major component in VIAGRA.

Reviewer: Mike from New York, NY
I am currently starting my second cycle of NO Xplode and can't wait to see the results the second time around. I have been working out for about 2 years, 5 days a week. During that time the only supplements that I took were regular Creatine Monohydrate and 100% Whey Protein. I got to a point where for about 4 months I wasn't able to put more weight on my bench, curls or pulldowns. I took NO Xplode for 6 weeks (1 big jug) and I have never been able to lift this much at the gym. I take it 45min before my workout and then stack it with 5g of Creatine and 20g of protein before and after my workout. I went from 205 on my last set of bench to 245 in 6 weeks...I'm maxing out at 305 now! My arms are getting huge and my back is really starting to take on more shape. My big suggestion is that don't take it for too long. As great as it is, it does have some adverse effects. My stacking with Whey and Creatine has been doning a number on my stomach, forcing bathroom trips about 4 times a day. I went to a nutritionist and he suggested that I take it for 6 weeks and then stay off of it for 4 weeks. I'll post again after this cycle and see how it works.

I did get some energy, but it's no different feeling than Ripped Fuel or other stimulant supplements. Almost every "energy" supplement out there has caffeine as the main ingredient. If you take caffeine with No-xplode, you'll get heartburn from hell. If you want to get insane pumps, just buy a supplement with creatine and make sure your getting adequate carbs. I agree with the guy from Denver, don't piss your money away on this stuff, stick to the basics.

Reviewer: Greg from England Uk
No exploe. Ive been taking for a week, im 17 years old. 6ft 3 and 230lbs, and have beentbodybuilding since i was 15 , natural. Ive been on it a week, and it seems to be ok. It gives u better pumps basicly and just jacks you up, especially in your arm workouts i found. The first time i took it, i could not sleep that night, but theres no problems atall now, i think my system may have adapted to it. Ill definatly buy sum more when ive finished this tub, and will probably stack it with another BSN product. Worth a try though definalty, just see how it works for you. Id recoment giving it a try . Hope this helped.Greg
Dont overdose itJuly 27, 2007
Reviewer: Greg from Australia
I am in my third week of using no xplode, and i use it 4 days a week before workout. I started off with 3 scoop (trying to be a real man and all) and by week 2 i figured out that there is no difference in results AT the gym whether you take 1.5 scoops or 3 scoops. The difference is how long the effects last. If you are planning to stay at the gym for 2 hours, doing alot of heavy sets, than take 2 scoops.
One major thing i have noticed is that if you give a large serving (3 scoop) then the effects of the caffeine will last for up to 6 - 8 hours after taking. I couldnt get to sleep till 2am everytime i took NO Xplode, and i have no problems with caffeine. Its best to take this in the morning and workout morning/midday so that the effects diminish throughout the day.
In conclusion, it does stimulate your mind to do more sets with massive recovery gains between sets so you are ready for more after each set. I also noticed that i get muscle spasms (which only last a second or two) only 10 - 20 seconds after taking 3 scoops with 6 oz of water, which does seem kind of odd. But it does what it is designed to do, give u the pumps and energy needed at the gym
Worth a tryJuly 23, 2007
Reviewer: Joe from Houston, TX
I've tried this product for about a month now and I definitely feel more energy during my workouts. On those days when I feel like I'd rather sit on the couch than hit the gym, a drink of this stuff gives me the energy boost I need sometimes to get off my butt and hit the weights. This product definitely allows me to work harder during my workouts resulting in faster muscle gains and more rapid weight loss.
Taking this product on an empty stomach like BSN recommends totally sux however. Plan a meal about an hour and a half before you visit the gym even if it's a meal replacement bar. Take the NO Xplode about an hour later. DON'T use a lot of water when making a drink with this product... maybe 4-6 ounces, no more. I found it to be a lot easier on the stomach by using a minimum amount of water. I would definitely recommend against taking any kind of protein drink before NO Xplode because the combination of the two will create a really yucky feeling in your stomach.
It did what it said it would doJuly 21, 2007
Reviewer: Pumped in Atlanta from Atlanta, Ga
I'm an old school good form, good nutrition with the occasional protein shake kind of a man, but on a whim I tried N.O.-Xplode and liked it a lot. I felt better pumps and saw some small gains that started with the initial purchase. I will keep using it to see what happens with extended use.
WASTE OF MONEY!!!!July 21, 2007
Reviewer: Gianormous from Denver
This stuff feels EXACTLY like taking caffeine. The label doesn't indicate caffeine, but who knows what could be included in the 20,500mg "proprietary blend" It might be the tried and true caffeine-aspirin-ephedra stack. Spend your $35 on 2yrs worth of caffeine instead of a month of this garbage. You will NOT get "incredible pumps"; however, due to the carbonation in this stuff, you will feel bloated and belch through your entire workout. If you want killer workouts and pumps, spend your money on the basics:
1) adequate rest/sleep
2) balanced nutritious diet w/ multivitamin & mineral supplement
3) perfect exercise technique
If you're sure you've mastered the above 3, your next best choices for supplements are:
4) protein powder
5) creatine
6) caffeine for energy/alertness
great productJuly 20, 2007
Reviewer: Greg P. from Minot A.F.B. , N.D.
this is an awsome product. one of the best two i have ever used( No2 is the other). i have never had a supplement worth a 5 star rating but this is as close as it comes. the only reason i didnt give it a 5 star rating is because i have to cycle off of it about twice a year for a couple months, thats when i take No2. NO Xplode is like a kick in the a*s right before you go to the gym. it gets me amped up, and whether it really does something to my body or if its a placebo effect i dont know, and dont care. it works period. if you take it too late you do have problems sleeping. and you wont feel the effects if you take it within 2 hrs. of eating beforehand. takin correctly you shouldnt have any problems accept maybe a lil bit of an upset stomach the first week or two, but it will pass.

Pump it up!!!!!!!!!!!July 11, 2007
Reviewer: Bobby from New York
This product is da bomb!!!! My only recommendation is to cycle it because you can become dependent on its effects, not only that but if you take it for too long with no breaks it loses its effects. I make sure to drink plenty of water and the side effects are pretty much non existent. I can work out hard and push myself as hard as I want to and I recover quickly in between sets. This stuff can help in the sack as well for those of you who need that extra pump if you know what I mean. Good stuff!!! Use it right and it really can make a difference. I don't think the product itself makes a huge impact but the fact it allows your muscles more oxygen to recover more quickly can increase your intensity and that is where you see the gains. Good luck!
Definitely does work, BUT...July 10, 2007
Reviewer: Max from DC
I had heard good things about this product from a number of people so I decided to give it a try. I was quite pleased with the results initially in that I was able to put on a good amount of mass and increase my strength (I also maintained a very strict diet), but I definitely had more energy in the gym and felt better and more focused about my lifts than ever before.
HOWEVER, as great as I thought this product was, after a month of use of 1-2 scoops only on workout days, I started getting some bad side effects. I had some stomach issues with it, but that really wasn't what worried me. I always drank a ridiculous amount of water so I never got headaches either so that wasn't an issue either. What really worried me is that I felt like after any given set I was going to pass out due to dizzyness. Aside from that, during my workouts I felt like my heart was going to beat out of my chest and that I was on the verge of a heart attack at any given moment. As far as post workout, I definitely recovered much quicker while using this, but I kept having this heart arhythmia, which needless to say scared the shit out of me. I tried discontinuing use of this product which solved all of my problems and figured I might as well try it one more time... unfortunately as soon as I went back on it I kept having these problems with an irregular heartbeat. For some reason I also started getting muscle spasms. I actually had to tell my roommates if I drop to the floor then call an ambulance because I think this shit might be killing me. Anyway, in conslusion, as someone who is pretty sensitive to caffeine and I guess whatever else is in this, this product definitely worked for me, but I'm pretty sure if I didn't stop using it I wouldn't alive to write this today so all I can say is try it for yourself and be careful.

Proven to dialate arteries with little adverse effectsJuly 04, 2007
Reviewer: Doug from Laughlin, Nv.
This product does not claim to give you an increase in strength. It simply dialates the arteries to increase blood flow to the muscles. The worst side effect Ive felt using this product is a rise in body temperature, like you are standing in the sun. That is to be expected with the increase blood flow close to the skin. I am on my second cycle of NO EXPLODE, and have never notice any insomnia or shaking caused from cafine. I dont belive everyones reactions will be the same, but for me it does seam to allow my body to hold a "pump" longer after workouts.

Really GoodJune 30, 2007
Reviewer: Bob McBob from texas
I am 14 years old, and earlier today I went to a nutrition store. The guy there was really nice and gave me 12 samples of different preworkout drinks.
The first one I used was NO-explode, and now I wish that my parents would let me get a whole bottle. My muscles didn't really "swell up" that much after I worked my forearms, hips, and groin, but my veins stayed showing(at a normal size) for about 30 minutes longer than they normally do.

Reviewer: Steve H from Lawrenceburg, IN
After cycling Vassive NO/CE for 2 months (not bad for the price)... I decided to pay a little more and try the NO Explode. I am sitting here after a 1.5 hr workout still pumped more than I ever have before. I Drink plenty of water and follow the instructions to a tee. Build the tolerance and you will do just fine. All I can say is WOW this stuff is amazing! My reps and sets increased by 200% across the board, chest and arms. Cant wait until tomorrow for abs and legs. Try it!

surf fuel---June 28, 2007
Reviewer: Rapstaine from by da beach
ive neverbeen big on going to the gym and busting my arse on a sweaty incline, only to get made hassled by rock-a-jocks. id rather keep it all naturale, and in this sense ive found that NO is one of the best pre-surf drinks everrrrr. drink a glass before you hit the road on a dawn patrol, and you literally feel like running across the top of the water to catch the swell. like they stated in previous reviews; you dont get tired. slow down for about 5 minutes, and youre on again even better than before. has anyone mentioned that it doesnt taste like complete crap like many other drinks? i guess people chug down caulk if it claims to make them bigger. this shite just works, (and doubles as sex fuel).
Nothing GreatJune 26, 2007
Reviewer: DWAT from PALM BEACH
After using NO Xplode I felt huge increases in energy for the begginning of my workout. After that I crashed with no energy and felt lousy. It was great while it lasted but taking three scoops as I do and it doesn't even get me through my workout. Its deffeintly caffeine addicting and it will give you headaches if your caffeine sensitive. Im sticking to other stuff taht works better fo me.
Very iffy so farJune 26, 2007
Reviewer: ShowKase from Toronto
Im thinking of stopping my usage of this product because im finding that I CANT SLEEP after using this it. I once laid in bed for 4 hours trying to sleep but couldnt because my heart was racing - so much so that at times i would drift off but then would suddenly awake because of how hard my heart was pounding. Iunno, like it or not this just doesnt feel "safe" to me. Add to that the TASTE IS FRIGGIN DISGUSTING - especially if you intend on taking more than 1 scoop. I also wonder how much of the benefits are more of a placebo effect than the actual product. Im not saying that you personally wont find any benefits ... but you can still get into shape without possibly putting your body at risk.
Great Stuff! Use In Moderation...June 26, 2007
Reviewer: JP from Fountain Valley, CA
A friend told me about this stuff, and after a while of hearing how great it was, I decided to try it. Here was my experience in a nutshell the first time taking it:
I took two scoops 45 minutes before working-out.
After my first real lift, the surge hit me...I felt I could do more reps than normal, and when I did get fatigued, 10 seconds later I felt like I could do another full set, as the fatigue was gone. I felt incvincible on this stuff. I got no jitters. After the workout, the effects seemed to slowly ware down throughout the day (not like a Monster or alot of coffee where you spike and fall hard quickly). I slept really good using this stuff, too!
I could see how you could get some negative side effects off this stuff if you take too much at one time...2 scoops is perfect for me. I suggest cycling off it for a few weeks, instead of increasing the dosage to keep the same stimulation.
Great product, if you can handle it I guessJune 23, 2007
Reviewer: John Z from Albany, NY
I had been using Labrada Supercharge for the past year and a half and decided to start using NO xplode about 3 days ago, and have seen great results in my workout intensity. I don't know about all the health problems that people have had with both of the products, but I have not developed any symptoms in over a year and a half of use of Supercharge. We'll see what happens with NO xplode. I also make a point not to consume any other products that have caffeine in them besides this...I dunno if that makes a difference in the side effects or not.
MAJOR HEADACHES!!!June 22, 2007
Reviewer: Mike from Las vegas
I am a 32 yr old male who is in excellent physical condition. I train 5 days a week and have regular physicals every year.
I began taking NOEXPLODE about 6 weeks ago. At first I didnt notice a real difference but after 2 weeks I began noticing slight gains in strength and minimal gains in size. At about 4 week I began having slight dizziness and headaches. I thought these were just attributed to working out too hard but never had these side effects before. About a week later just starting my workout I had a headache like you wouldnt believe. The strange thing was it went away as soon as lowered my heart rate and it scared me so much I took a few days off from the gym. Now everytime my heart rate goes up, even during sex, my head feels like its going to explode. I have stopped taking NOEXPLODE and hope that these headaches go away. I am not trying to scare anyone from taking this stuff but you need to be careful while taking it.
Working so farJune 22, 2007
Reviewer: Steve from Chicago, IL
I read these reviews that it's a dangerous product, but be smart...anything you do to excess is going to be harmful...the key with No Explode is to go slow and build up your tolerance. Of course your going to have negative side effects if you do the max dosage your first time!
Anyway, been using for two weeks and the burst of energy is incredible. Works great when lifting - you not nearly as sore the next day. Also, try it before a run; went 6 miles this morning and felt like I could run thru a wall...
Good luck to all ...
N.O.-XPLODE gives you wingsJune 22, 2007
Reviewer: Mongo from New York
I took this stuff for the first time a few weeks ago and my training has not been the same since. I started out taking 1 scoop and have since gone up to about 2 1/2. I am hesitant to go to 3 but might soon. I find I can recover much quicker in between reps and sets and I am therefore able to challenge myself that much more. I benched 225 11 times on the first set and then was still able to do 3 more sets of 8x245, 6x255, and 3x275 and then a burnout with 185 to fatigue. I moved on to incline, decline and some cable crossovers and had a great workout. My energy level is always up and with the extra oxygen going through my veins I get the muscle recovery I need to get through an intense training session. I have had some cramps, a little light headedness, and a few episodes of explosive dumps but if I drink the right amount of water I can minimize these side effect drastically. I would definitely recommend this stuff. Train hard or go home!!!
Awesome Pre-Workout BoostJune 21, 2007
Reviewer: Dan from Albany, NY
I have been taking NO for about two weeks and love it. I go to the gym 20 minutes after taking it and it kicks in right when i start working out. You have to take this product with some seriousness in mind, that being, know what you are doing in the weight room. I suggest taking this b4 you workout then immediately after your workout have a protein drink. It will balance you out for the rest of the day and make sure you drink a lot of water when you lift if you take this product. I have seen small gains and hope to see more as the powder in the can gets lower. You cant expect immediate satisfaction from this product, and its not going to make your heart burst out of your chest, just dont go crazy and you will be satisfied when you workout. You will never go to the gym tired again, and you will only get stronger throughout your workout by using this, I wouldnt train without it. Eat right, Train right.
Extremely Dangerous ProductJune 21, 2007
Reviewer: Anonymous from Anytown, AT 55555
I would recommend anyone taking this product to observe the health hazards that can result from such high doses of caffeine. You're taking a product from a company that won't even tell you how much caffeine they're feeding you, the risk is truly not worth the reward.
The symptoms of caffeine intoxication may include restlessness, nervousness, excitement, insomnia, flushing of the face, increased urination, gastrointestinal disturbance, muscle twitching, a rambling flow of thought and speech, irritability, irregular or rapid heart beat, and psychomotor agitation.[52][56]
I know from personal experience and from many others who have taken this product that have experienced some or all of these symptoms. If you are experiencing any of these I would highly recommend that you stop taking this product, and stop handing your money over to this company.

After taking N.O. Xplode for a few months I find that it works. At first I thought it wasnt working, but after about the 2nd week I began noticing its effect, only through not using it for a few days. The key is to find the right cycle of use for yourself. For instance I discovered I got the best results from a 6 week on 3 week off schedule, so my body dosent build too strong a resistance.

I was stuff on my bench at 220 and the first time i took i benched 225 3 times. but no im benchin a lot more.
Developed A Twitch and Heart PalpitationsJune 18, 2007
Reviewer: Jack DeBerry from Yokosuka, Japan
Maybe it's just me or maybe others have had this experience, but around week 3 I developed a twitch. I am not talking about a simple muscle twitch, but a bad one. I was in bed one night and my leg jolted for no reason as if the doctor had tapped me on the knee during a routine check-up. I thought it was strange but didn't think that it was the NO2 product. After this happened several times I over the next week, I figured it must have been the NO2. Also I noticed right before I stopped using it that I developed heart palpitations. I followed the advice to the bottle and what was outlined in the book exactly. I did get some great pumps and some small gains, but anything that causes those type of health problems isn't worth it. The goal is to become a more healthy individual, not the other way around. Even before these problems developed, I was unable to sleep. The product said not to take after 3 (might be off on the time) if you develope sleep problems. I then tried to only take it first thing in the morning but it didn't help. My advice would be to pass on this supplement and stick to protein powder, a multi-vitamin/mineral, water, a sound nutrional diet, and lots of hard work. Take care and GodBless!

This stuff is awesome. i took it today for the first time and i doubled, yes DOUBLED almost all of my exercises. you can't wait to get your hands the weights, and people stared as i did my reps and sets "A 45 laying on my back as i did my push ups IT'S THAT GOOD!". it just makes you want to do more, ALOT more! it's almost scary. i actually laughed at the weights while starting a set then noticed i was doing more than i thought i picked up. its crazy! the energy and focus stays with you after you leave the gym, i was literaly running around at work getting things done quicker than ever. amazing stuff. I'm taking the "Stack" program along with Cell Mass and Syntha-6. you really DON'T want to train without it after the first time you do. it's that good. waiting to see the long term effects but it's really worth a 5 so far.
Only side effects i've felt is a little stomach cramping(although that may have been the CELL MASS) for 10 min. tops. drink pleanty of water and you should be fine. i took 3 scoops my first day, gonna tone it down to 1 or 2. made me a little dizzy too. it's almost out-of-body at times but, great stuff.

I just thought I would add something from Australia.
I am 6', 119kgs front row rugby player and I have been doing weight training on and off for years, but seriously for about 2 years now.
I have tried alot of differnt stuff for before gym and games.I have been useing N.O.Xplode for about a year now, and it is fantastic, although about $100AUS a tub, it is expensive but worth it.
The description is correct, my veins do stick out like garden hoses and it really is a fantast training aid.
I did build up a resistance to three scoops, but I cycled off it for about a month, then dropped it back to 2 scoops and that wounderful rush came right back again (especially at 6am before the gym, when I have to face another day at work after wrecking myself in the gym).
Great work BSN!
Good pre-workout/creatine sup...Worth takingJune 14, 2007
Reviewer: Rob Key from Oxford, UK
Ive ordered my second tub. I started by taking 1 scoop, not wanting to finish the tub off quickly. Then it went up to 1.5 after a week, and now its on 2 scoops. So there is definately a tolerance factor. Although I think that this would be for the caffine.
It would be wrong to say that my energy has been 100% EVERY time I take this. Sometimes I feel it slightly, and have an average workout. You could put this down to my personal energy levels for that day. Although some days I feel like ripping the gym apart, and my workouts have been brilliant. Not only have I felt good, the pumps have been brilliant too.
I have been following a 'fairly' solid diet, and solid routine for the last 6 weeks while taking this. I have made strenth gains every split workout, and put on roughly 3kg in weight.
It would be naive to say this was purely down to the no explode, but every little helps eh!
As for side effects, there has been none. I can see why people get headaches if they dont drink enough water, thats not saying you need to drink a rivers worth either. It does make me want to shit when I arrive at the gym though. This a tell tale sign of the caffine, as it is a stimulant.

I have been working out at the gym now for the last 6 months, using no supplements to help me with my workouts however, i recently bought a tub of this NO Xplode and have seen great results so far!
After taking this supplement, it gets me really pumped and i WANT to go the the gym for a workout, it really does give me great enthusiasm and i get excited to pump the weights! My veins have gotten bigger and i am able to do heavier weights, and more reps which is very pleasing!
I have only been using for a week so hard to tell if i have gained any muscle size increase yet! My only negative is that it gives u a bit of wind lol!

Reviewer: Kerry from Pheonix, AZ, USA
I am not affected by caffiene much at all. I can drink a double shot expresso and go to bed 5 minutes later. This stuff had me bouncing off the walls. I know caffiene is part of it, but it cant be all. Also the motivation to keep doing more was definetly there. I had a yogurt smoothie 15 minutes before and no cramps. I did get a very slight headache two hours later. My chem professor said that it is because of the opening of the arteries. Of course we want this in our muscles and that is why it is beneficiary. But you must remember that there are arteries and veins in your brain. So that is where the headaches can come from. But taking the right dose and drinking at least a gallon of water will be fine for most of us.

Reviewer: Matt from Colombia, MO
Ok, first for some background: I used to play football in highschool as a fullback/linebacker. I was no stranger to the weightroom and was very strong during that period. When I got into college I completely stopped lifting weight and mainly just ran to keep fat off. Now, about 2 1/2 years later started lifting again. Been taking explode for about 3 months now and my gains have been phenomenal. To give an example when I started lifting again I could bench around 205 and since my bench has risen to about 265-270. My overall appearance has completely changed and all my friends are shocked by how much lean mass I have put on. I highly recommend take 2 scoops before workout and complement that with a good diet full of protein. I also supplement this by taking a protein shake about and hour and a half before workout and immediately after workout as well. This product kicks ass, just give it a try.

Reviewer: Stan from Perrysburg, OH
Alright heres the deal. i never really worked out, played hockey but not anymore. Im 5'11 155 and im not gonna lie i have no muscle. My buddy is huge. I know about all the stuff hes takin just never thought much of it untill one day i was talkin to him. He says that if you buy ANYTHING from gnc you can return it within 30 days no matter how much you. I say, wtf? why not i need to bulk up then ill just return it when im done. At the time he was takin NO xplode, hydroxycut hardcore, and naNOx9.
So we go to gnc and i pick up a small tub of the NO. The first day i take it was at school i just took one scoop in the morning. I could feel myself wanting to just rip shit apart. The strange part is i was focusing so hard in class and i just wanted to take everything in. Now, im not caffiene sensetive so i didnt worry about taking too much. So after school my buddy wants me to go work out. I pop 2 scoops of the NO, I sneak into the gym cuase i didnt have a pass (keep in mind i NEVER lift).
Heres the cool part. when i worked out before that (gym class ect.) i was just doing like 95 pounds 3x7. I hopped on the bench and tell my friend to put on my reg 95lbs. I started doin it and i was pumpin so hard it was unbelievable, i just never wanted to stop. After was done he tells me i was doing 10lbs more than i normally do. I was amazed and about a minute later i laid back down and did 10 more reps. This shits crazy. On the machines i was doin about 2 more blocks on each one and doing way more reps/sets.
I worked out for an hour more than i usually do. I honestly didnt want to stop. Ive never felt that way before, usually im lazy and just give up.
Now, 3 weeks later im a regular member at the gym, working out whenever i have a chance. Ive noticed muscle increases and absolutely zero muscle fatigue between sets.
something to know: Make sure your drinking water! the bottle says drink 120oz a day, thats a gallon. you need to be drinking a ton considering you have to take it on an empty stomach. you will have no problems if you drink water, no headaches no nothing just drink water. i cant stress it enough
sorry for the long review
This Supplement is WEIRD!June 06, 2007
Reviewer: Matt from Jacksonville, Florida
The first time I took NO Xplode I was INSANE!! I felt on fire in the gym! The first few times I took it I really understood what all the hype was about. Unforunately, I have seemed to build an ENORMOUS tolerance just with in about 5 or 6 workouts. Two scoops now has me feeling like shit because I am expecting to be on fire, but I just feel disappointed with a standard workout. I just took my first serving of 3 scoops...not feeling it yet, but I am trying to remain optomistic. At $40 a can the stuff can go quite quickly. Especially! if I am gonna start needing 3 scoops per workout! I have not experienced any of the side effects I have read about..(I would definately suggest reading into them) I do look a bit bigger, but I am stacking the NO Xplode with Creakic, so I'm unsure of which of the creatines is responsible for that. Overall I give it a 3 star rating...pretty good but not great. The SHIT is TOO expensive to access such a quick tolerance.
By the way..after writing this review it has been 45 minutes since I took the 3 scoop serving...STILL NOT FEELING!! :)

I stopped weight training for 8 monthes due to football and track. About two weeks ago I started back up with huge losses in all my lifts. So my friend told me to use some creatine. I ordered some NO-xplode and started using it a week ago. 5 min after taking it, I couldn't wait to go to the gym. At the gym I would usually not push myself that hard, but now I work until failure.
After a week of using it I have gained all my strength back and increase everyday. I have gained 5lbs. The only side effect for me is I shit four times a day now.
I also stack with Cell-Mass and Weight Gainer 1850. This is by far the best supplement I have every taken.
Wow -IT DOES WORK!June 03, 2007

Ok took one scoope of NO on an empty stomach 5 minutes later my leg muscle started jumping. I'm sensitive to caffeine "ok it's working now" I thought, on to the workout. Gym is close by I was going to wait 30 to 45 minutes like to label says but with my muscles wanting to jump off my bones, off I went. I didn't understand all this "focus" stuff all over the box but when the guy at the counter swiped my gym card and said "Welcome" I felt my mind was moving a million miles an hour and said "Thank you very much have a nice day" A millisecond after his Welcome was said, "ok that's focus" I thought. Burned from my usual 750 callories in a session to 1227 worked out from my usual hour to a new 1 1/2 hour work out. My heartbeat was over 117 beats per minute for over 107 minutes overall which is my target zone. So I am very happy with this product and will use it again. At the end of my Hour workout I ran 3 miles on the treadmill I normally do 1 to 2. Does what it says it does. My 5 year old saw me after my workout yesterday and asked me why my veins were pushing out of my skin! ;-)

Reviewer: Bigger thanyou from Santa Ana,CA
I took 2 full bottles of no xplode 2 scoops before each workout and none on my off days. I did get alot more ripped and I was an animal in the gym but now that im off it I am back to the same size and its alot harder to get motivation to workout now. It did experience a little bit of gas from it also.

Reviewer: John Doe Jersey from Jersey
I'm 16 years old. I'm athletic, I play Lacrosse and Football. Took Creatine Monohydrate and got good results from that. I decided to take NO Xplode after hearing such rave reviews about it. I am following the directions to the letter, however I am seeing absolutetly no results. Very pissed off.
Good stuff - follow directions closley...May 31, 2007
Reviewer: Greg from Chicago
I tried my first bottle of NO and love it. I did get a rash under my arms. I think it may have been an allergic reaction. Great pumps and a great energy packed work out. The reason people have stomach pains are because you must take this on an empty stomach. If you drink a ton of water the head aches will go away. I give it a 4 out of 5 due to the side effects. Good gain, good pump, and great energy. Shitty side effects....
Opens up the blood vesselsMay 30, 2007
Reviewer: Randy from Texas
Ive been taking the stuff for about a month and felt amazing pumps during the workout...basically like my arms were about to explode. Be careful though. I usually work out at 6 and took 2-3 scoops at around 5.15. As it says on the can..this stuff opens up the blood vessels which if you have recently eaten will lead straight to your digestive system. So my advice is have a quick dump before you take this stuff otherwise you could lose the maximum effects NO has!
Just as addictive as heroin.May 29, 2007
Reviewer: Animal from Baghdad
I had been using Animal Stak 2, and figured it was time to see what all the hype was about with this product. My first time taking it I felt like I could lift a mountain. The focus that I maintain in the gym is great. I don't go for max press or anything. I do 5x10 benchpress with the same amount of weight for each set. Started off at 180, after 2 months I'm up to 225 (no exaggerated claim here
