| Great product but, I have found that Cytosport's Fast Twitch is just as good if not better. Also Fast Twitch beats out NO-Xplode in that: 1. You can shake Fast Twitch to mix it instead of the stirring that NO-Xplode requires. 2. I have to use two scoops of NO-Xplode but only one with Fast Twitch, making Fast Twitch more cost efficient. |

| This is the best pre-workout supplement available. I have tried several different brands to improve my workouts and NO-Xplode has fit the bill. In my opinion the Orange is by far the best tasting flavor available. Lemon Lime is the worst. |

Reviewer: William in Pennsylvania |
| I definitely would recommend this product to anyone. Anytime I am feeling like not working out - this stuff gets you pumped and ready to go. My workouts are truly more aggressive and it's hard for me to stop once I'm at the gym. You will most likely develop a tolerance to this stuff: The first day I took one scoop and once bouncing off the walls - 6 weeks later I have to take 2 scoops to get that same feeling. Other than that it is definitely a great product! |

| I am 61-years old and have been using N.O. Explode for a couple of months. (Yes, the label does say the product is only for guys up to age 50 .. as well as all the other disclaimers). I've had great results with the product. I work out early in the morning, so it's a rush to get out of bed, get the N.O. Explode into my system, wait a while, and then go work out. I can really get into my workout fast with the energy N.O. Explode creates in my body. I feel totally energized, get great pumps, push good weight and feel ready to kick a**! Be sure to test your tolerance to the product per the instructions on the label. |

| Great product. Can't understand why you're not supposed to shake it other than the pressure building up inside of the container. As long as you release the pressure every few shakes there was no problem and it mixed a lot better than stirring it. |

| I wrote a review for NO-Explode about 2 years ago when I was 61. I still think this is the best pre-workout supplement I can find. I've leaned out. Over the months, my major muscle groups have become bigger and more defined. I cycle on and off per the recommendations, but always come back to this product because it helps me get the results I want. I still work out in the early morning and this product helps get me up and stay up all day. The younger guys wonder how I do it. And, well, it's not all just the NO Explode, but that's a good part of it. |

| I've ordered this product multiple times and this time ordered 3 containers. My son and I are both impressed with results. I drink a container with this at work and have energy all day. It is great at controlling appetite as well - makes it much easier to eat well. Flavors are MUCH better than the other brands we tried. |

| I love this product although it is quite pricey. I've been taking NO XPlode on and off for about a year now. I mix it with NOW's B-12 Instant Energy and it gives me a boost of energy that keeps me going all day long (even after the gym in the morning). It is obviously the vitamin B-12 having an effect. In my opinion orange is the best flavor (especially in the morning), but grape is tasty as well. |

Reviewer: Thomas in Armed Forces Europe |
| BSN's NO-EXPLODE is an outstanding product. Not only does it taste great but the results are outstanding. When you have to get up at 2 am to go to the gym most people wouldn't have the energy to get out of bed. After I take my NO, the first hit goes down so nicely and then BOOM!! you're awake and ready to go. The energy is clean, not so much you shake or anything, plus it lasts. My favorite flavors are Blue Raspberry and Grape. I will warn others of this, be warned, the energy and overall performance boost will become addicting. Don't say you weren't warned. |

| One of my favorite products.
Have tried grape,orange & fruit punch.....Grape is my favorite .....orange has great taste as well.
First time users should start with less than the recommended dosage.(less than 1 scoop)
Once you are used to the effect it gives you.....your work outs will be driven and focused! Great Product! |

| I love this product. It gives me what I need to get my butt off the couch when I'm feeling less than motivated. The only thing is I had to take small doses to get used to it. I got sick in the beginning with the full dose. If that happens to you, don't let it stop you. The results will speak for themselves later. |

| Amazing product. Worth every penny. It gives you a great surge in energy prior to a workout. You'll notice increased strength and muscle growth with continual use. I hate creatine but love this stuff because I don't get bloated. I'm partial to the Grape flavor, but hear Fruit Punch is also good. |

| This product is Out-Standing. I've been using this for a couple of years. It does Everything it says . . . Yes - that's right everything ! As a Drill Instructor - I put in some very long days and I need every edge I can Get. The Boost that accompanies NO-X is inspiring - and the pump is the best. After Running, Swimming, Marching and Calisthenics - there might be little left for weight training - but not with NO-X - 30 minutes later I am ready to go ! I just will not train with out it. . . . . . |

Reviewer: Chris in Iowa |
| Don't feel the Nitric Oxide rush until about 30 minutes into my workout. This stuff works real good though. This product does have creatine so in order to have No-Xplode work the best you should consume around 120 oz. of water a day. The taste is good and not hard to drink. The Blue raspberry is probably the best flavor for me. |

Reviewer: Khuong in Oregon |
| While serving a tour over in Iraq in the Marine Corps, my team found time to hit the gym 6 times a week to ensure that we were in the best state of fitness possible. I hit my plateau maybe two months into training. I maxed out on the bench press at 225 lbs. A friend referred me to NO-Xplode so I ordered a jug. Right away I felt the rush of the nitric oxide, and felt like a sleeping beast was awoken. After one month of using NO-Xplode I was bench pressing 225 lbs for 8 repetitions. Since being back I've slacked a lot on my gym routine. 1 year later I've started to hit the gym again. I struggled to put up 225 lbs on the bench press. I knew it was once again to get NO-Xplode. This time two weeks after receiving the product, I am pressing 225 lbs. for 6 reps. I love NO-Xplode with a passion and will use it until I stop caring about my physique. |

| Excellent product, favorite flavor is Fruit Punch, even if it tastes more like raspberry (this flavor is very sweet). Takes about 30 minutes to hit you, but you will know when it surges through your system. It does NOT make you feel that stacker jittery feeling. It is more of a boom of energy, kind of like if you are not at the gym, you feel like you might get there faster if you ran due to the energy boost you are feeling. Solid pumps, good focus, great product. |

| Let's face it - this stuff just rocks!! At 5:00 AM you need all the help you can get, and this stuff does the trick. Plus, I actually love the taste so much, I look forward to taking it. Half the guys in the gym at 5 are using this. Why? Because it works! Try it - you won't be disappointed. (Start with one scoop to assess your tolerance though!) |

Reviewer: Sandy in Armed Forces Europe |
| I found this product very useful in the gym. I liked the Grape flavor. It does not mix completely and I always have grit in the bottom of my cup regardless. I experimented with the dosage and found that for me, the best was 1-1/2 scoops about 2 hours before working out. The pump hits me just before I hit the gym (I work out at night) and I am able to blast thru it and still go to sleep afterwards. The intensity in the gym is greatly increased and I am getting rock hard muscles! YAY! It is one of the better products I've tried. |

| I take a serving of this before I leave work for the day, and after getting home and doing a few misc things, I can feel this beginning to work (about 45 min after taking it), just in time for my evening workout. It really does give me an energetic boost. I have taken a double dose at times, and that can make you jittery though, so don't overdo it - there's no need to.
Overall, highly recommended! |

| This is good stuff. You will get a good workout using NO-Xplode. I do warn you though for the first time take less then recommended dose and be ready to burn off some energy. The first time I took this stuff I was bouncing off the walls and had trouble sleeping. I work out in the late evening so that was part of the problem. This product does have caffeine in it and everyone reacts differently to caffeine. |

Reviewer: Kelly in Massachusetts |
| I wish there were 2 ratings for this product. I'm reviewing Grape, although the taste of this is so ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING, that I am not going to waste another $38 experimenting with flavors. Yes, it does work. But even 1 scoop messes with digestion (for me anyway). Yes, for me, there is bloating, regardless of what the company claims. Sometimes they tell you what you want to hear. I wish we could rate taste and performance separately because the taste combined with the havoc it wreaks on my digestion are the 2 reasons I will not by this product again and have stopped using it. Anything that tastes like it was collecting in a bucket underneath my car is not something I want to keep ingesting. So if you can tolerate those 2 things that I couldn't, go for it. It does perform the way everyone claims. |

Reviewer: James in Texas |
| Nitric Oxide is hot these days amongst the lifters and builders. NO Explode is probably the most palatable NO supplement I have found. It will tell you mix 1-3 scoops, but if you use 3, you better have a gallon of water! Seriously, it is very sweet tasting, but not bad. I get equal results with 2 or 3 scoops, so save money, use 2. I find myself using it pre run or even on off days, but only 1 scoop then. As far as a "pump", it's tough to say. Honestly, the act of pushing iron is going to distend veins. By how much and if what I took pre workout has changed the gauge of my veins is pretty subjective to me. It isn't about how big your veins are, but how much blood and hence energy substrate can be delivered to your muscles as efficiently and quickly as possible. On that account, I feel NO Explode does improve my workouts noticeably. I don't ever experience nausea or bloating, either. Try it, it's not bad at all, and you will pay half on Netrition compared to any stores, I assure you of that. (No, I don't work for them, I am just being honest and practical). Oh yeah, flavors. Grape, Lemon Lime, Raspberry and Orange are the ones I have done. Lemom Lime is easiest to drink quickly for me. They are all true to their stated flavors, though and honestly quite good. Like Kool Aid with an afterbite, but not bad, really. Just be liberal with the water. |

| Taste not withstanding, BSN's NO-XPLODE packs a huge kick. If you can get past the aftertaste and the fact that it mixes like something from a mad scientist's lab, the product does help with energy and muscle pump during a workout. Biggest complaint I've gotten from people I've recommended it to is the taste. |

Reviewer: Brian in New York |
| Minor affect on me if any...even with 3 scoops...
I would take it pre-workout, and I would be at the gym 45 min later, wondering if this stuff is gonna kick in.
By the time I finish, I'm tell myself I might as well have have taken creatine w/ a cup of coffee w/ some B12...and saved some money.
Personally, I think it is much like a glorified Red bull. Didn't notice any real alertness or aggressiveness.
I'd rather take some type of thermogenic or stimulant. Too bad they banned ephedra....screw the FDA....ahaha |

| I've been using No Explode on an on/off cycle for about 3 years. I went from using decavar/paradeca and on/off cycle to this stuff and at first it was a good transition. But I've noticed a change in the effect it's had on my pre-workout "drive" and it must be due to building up a tolerance. I also noticed frequent headaches on an empty stomach. Sometimes it's a hit or miss with the energy boost too. Overall I feel it's great for beginners and if it's cycled you'll get the biggest bang for your buck. fruit punch is the most bearable for me. Lemon lime is the devil. |

Reviewer: Hakan in New York |
| I recently purchased BSN NO-Xplode Blue raspberry flavor. My first impression is that the product tastes awfully chemical. The color is blury green with a lot of foam on it after you mix it.
When you look at the ingredients it contains thousands of strange substances in it. With the way it tastes, it looks and so many chemicals in it, I feel a bit scary when using it.
Against all odds, it increases your work out performance.
However, you can achieve equal performance boost using a combination of simpler products, e.g. using BCAA and Creatine together.
Consequently, I will not buy this product again. |

| I do not like this product, as you can overdose on vitamin B-6, which has detrimental effects. Instead I recommend NOW Instant Energy B-12, which I mix with my drinks or take plain. It is very hard to overdose on vitamin B-12. NOW Instant Energy B-12 also has Creatine; which is in this product as well. Overall, I trust NOW the most out of all sport supplement companies. |
