It can fit in the palm of your hand by the way... it's rather small.
Background
Intro:
Of course your all familiar with this big No-Xplode hype going on. I decided that I wanted to supplement with NO and give it a shot so I bought a tub of my own. The price was $44 at Vitamin World, and is apparently the same price at GNC. It's no secret that it's expensive. You can save a lot of money purchasing this product on the interet, I gaurentee it. I saw it for $29.99 not including shipping on some website. Please clear your mind of all biases while reading this. I am not bashing nor endourcing this product; just evaluating it scientificly and performance wise with my personal experience.
About Me:
Before I get into it, I'm 14 years of age 15% body fat, standing 6'0 tall at 150 pounds. Please open your mind to this review as we explore some of the science behind this product.
Nutritional Info:
Personal Experience
The Rush:
Most people, close to all of the people that take NO-Xplode, experience and extreme energy rush within 15-30 minutes of taking this product. To be honest with you, I didn't experience any "extreme rush". What could possibly cause such an "extreme" energy rush? Why is it that other people experience such a rush and I don't? The answer is cafiene. I am a full blown cafiene addict. Before lent, i've been drinking like 3 cokes daily. I used to drink a lot of soda. Infact, when I stopped I went through withdrawel syndrome. Weird huh? Thats what I get for being such an energy drink junkie. I can chug RedBulls and Rock Stars without even getting a hype. If you have built up a strong tolerance to cafiene I gaurentee you will not experience any rush. I MUST OBLIGATE MYSELF TO WARN YOU: If you are sensitive to cafiene this drink is NOT FOR YOU. My friend's hands shake after eating a chocolate bar, and sometimes he even gets head aches from drinking to much soda. If your sensitive to cafiene or too intimidated to try this product than go to 711 and get yourself a RedBull. Drink it, and if you can handle it than you should be ok with one scoop of NO-Xplode. The cafiene was definately enough to "wake me up" though. I don't think i'd ever yawn again.
The Pump:
Woah, but don't get me wrong, NO-Xplode is an amazing product! If you ever had a muscle pump, you probably enjoyed it. For those that don't know. A muscle pump is when your muscles are filled with so much blood that they feel thicker and harder than they originally were. I know from personal experiences that a good muscle pump is what keeps me coming back to the gym. It's an addicting feeling of satisfaction. This has been my first time ever taking a NO supplement. Let me tell you, I don't know about the cafiene but i'm EXTREMELY sensitive to the NO! Thats a good thing. For the first time in my entire weight training career I have never experienced such an intense pump. My muscles have never felt more full. For those of you that are already pretty muscular, you will look like a total jerk in the gym. I definately looked bigger than I ever looked before after taking this product. I never actually had a "chest pump", a "lat pump", or even a shoulder pump. It's really friken wierd having such a pump in your lats. I was not able to press my elbows to my sides when I was doing barbell bicep curls. I would take this product again just for the pumps.
Vascularity:
What a fancy word huh? For those that don't know, it's just a fancy way of saying how vainy you are. So anyway, the science of NO-Xplode is that the NO dialates your vains to allow more nutrients and blood to be pumped into your muscles. With that said, your vains will look thicker. If you have a nice layer of fat over your muscles you probably won't see it working but you'll feel it working anyway. I'm not much of a vainy person because I have 15% bodyfat. If you have like 8% body fat you might even scare yourself with what your vains look like. I know that some of mine have these bubble like things that appear on my arm.
Endurance:
Some say they experience more endurance after taking some NO-Xplode. To tell you the truth I did feel an increase in muscular endurance, but it wasn't an incredable one. I was not able to do more than one more rep. What I did notice though, was that I hardly had to rest between sets! I started each set with just as much energy I had started the last set with. I'm no biologist but one could assume this is due to my dialated vains. Because theirs more nutrients and blood (rich with oxygen) I was probably able to recouperate a lot faster. Hey, it's no magical stuff though. It's not like I wasn't winded after doing squats or deadlifts though.
Conclusion:
In my totally down-to-science opinion, I do believe that this product is worth while, and really walks the walk. It's definately expensive though. If you don't have the money for this product than you might as well not buy it. Afterall it isn't as important as protein. Besides, a muscle pump may feel good and make you look big but it really doesn't indicate that you had a sucsessfull workout. All and all I loved this product. I do think that the BSN employees are **** heads for saying how advanced it is because seriously, it's just cafiene! The only thing that was really impressive was the NO and the pump I got out of it. There isn't any creatine in it (like less than one gram) so BSN kind of snakes you into buying CellMass with it. **** heads... but like I said, it's a great product!
I rate this product 5/5 stars!
I hope you found this helpfull!

i have the same effects that rob had, and i am 21. sometimes age really doesnt matter, it might in fact help out even more. but i do agree that sometimes minors should not take certain supplements. like weight loss pills or test boosters. but things like protein or thermos or no's, i think those are fine for whoever the hell wants to give it a shot. you always have to keep in mind that everyone is different.
i didnt really feel any kind of rush either, accept when i was running to the bathroom. everytime i take this product it makes me sh*t, but only once and it usually happens about 30 minutes after i take it. so i always wait until i crap before i work out, its like thats how i know i am ready. but after that i am fine. but when i brought thermogain into the equation of using no-xplode, i definatly got a rush. and my pumps increased even more and i was able to have more intense workouts.
the reason i went with thermogain instead of creatine, is because i already know that i am very sensitive to creatine. so i know not to take it, and i just happen to run across the thermogain by accident in some of my bros old not finished but left behind supplements, and i started taking it just to see what would happen. and i love it.
the thing to remember is that all no-xplode is really designed to do for you is increase blood flow levels through out your body, especially to the parts you are working on. but that is all it does, it does not make you bigger. what i mean by that is just because you workout with it, doesnt mean it will not give you permanent growth. you will get normal gains in the long run, but if you add something to take with it that is designed for growth, like creatine, then you will see significant gains.
thats why i think no-xplode is best when you stack it with other supps, because it allows the other supps to get into your muscles a lot faster and allows them to stay in longer and work harder for you. just something to throw in there.

wow 14, kid you need to stick to protein till your body stops developing, you shldn't even be lifting heavy yet. lifting to early can stunt development of your body. And i cant even beleave they sold it to you, your suppose to be over 18 to use or buy it.

Congratulations to your teachers. You are one bright fourteen year old! Excellent personal review. I tend to agree with badace2, you probably should stick to eating quality protein and carbs at your age. I have been lifting since I was fourteen (I am forty three now), and I have spent thousands of dollars on useless products, always looking for the magical solution. The only true way to achieve the results I have been seeking is through hard work, eating right and getting plenty of rest. These supplements may offer help when we get to sticking points, but their main purpose is to create profit for the companies that manufacture these items.
In my opinion, spend the extra money on quality food and protein. A five pound can of powdered whole eggs is less than $10.00. One scoop is the equivalent of six eggs. Take three scoops a day, in addition to your regular meals, drink plenty of water and don't miss workouts. There is no magic pill (that is legal). Nothing beats hard work.
Keep working hard, and the rewards will come.
With respect,
Intense

UPDATE: I came across this topic randomly. I wrote this close to one year ago. I was well into puberty at this time. Although I was just 14, my body was developed enough to experiment with NO. As a highschool freashman, I had chest hair and a deep voice lol. The only reason why people get all itchy about kids taking supplements such as creatine is because there are studies that say it might stunt growth.
Anyway, although I started supplementing young, I've always practiced the basics. Diet is absolutely the most important factor to beefing up. I've been doing the high protein, carbs, and calorie diet ever since I started. NO-Xplode is technically a stimulant, rendering it useless without all of the above dietary factors.
So, I've been using NO-Xplode off and on for almost a year and I can say i'm very satisfied with the results it gave me. It's very expensive and a little not necessary, but if you have the money I recommend you try it.
Well, if you want to bitch at me...

LMFAO.....
Show us an article where it PROVES that weight lifting stunts growth and development of the body. Posting non-sense urban myths will only show your own "retardness".
yea its all bull here is an article, it doesnt stunt growth, but youngsters run a higher risk of injury. - http://bodybuilding.about.com/od/bodybuildingfaq/f/stuntgrowth.htm
