I have been away from these boards for a while so I don't know if this has been brought up. First I am not here to flame companies but to bring info the way many did when I first came to these boards to learn about this confusing indusrty.

I was reading the NO and creatine thread and I saw a quote from Ronnie. Listen, BSN is being sued for products-Cellmass and NO Explaode- having no active ingrediants. The ingrediants in question are CREATINE. Cellmass claims to have CEE, which it has been proven not to. Part of the reason they claimed they charged so much for their CM3 technology, which apparently doesn't exist. Basically they were selling creatine mono for $40. Explode has 0 creatine in it, the lawsuit claims. This is not good.
BSN has been sold under the banner of good ingrediants and an honest label. They are beginning to add their name to a list of companies like Dymatize, that are being nailed to the wall for false adertising.
Just a heads up.

There have been a few threads about it for sure but its always good that everyone knows so they stop buying crap from BSN.

Also, what flavor of WMS do you get from IDS and is that the best WMS? I have been reading a lot about it and think I will give it a try, whats the best way to take it (quantity wise) and when or what worked best for you?

Nice, I did not know about this. Although, I would never use NO-Explode. Everyone I talk to who has used it says it's garbage.

Read the lable.

I'm in the process of making my own "no-explode" except I'm buying the powders seperately and mixing it myself.

I'm not sure why you would take the two together as citrulline is a by product of arginine during oxidization and the whole point is to release nitric oxide as a vasodilator. Seems like overkill but let us know how it goes.

ooOOOOoooo! When women talk like this, it just makes me tingly all over... especially when they have the bod to back up their knowledge! Smile

Seriously tho, what about BSN ISN'T overkill? Their entire brand philosophy is based on hype and hiding what they're really doing behind fictional ingredient names. I don't buy supplements from any manufacturer that needs to slap a new name on a common ingredient just because they feel they should have a patent on having found a way to purify it using horse pee and the heat exchanger from a '76 Volkswagen Beetle Smile

CEE is a joke. Any time you estherize a product that is supposed to be water soluble, you either reduce its effectiveness, or increase it's potential for toxicity, or both. I would not be surprised at all if BSN was peddling Creatine Mono and hyping it up -because they know no one would be able to tell the difference between CEE and Mono anyway.

Bottom line: if you still buy BSN, you are spending too much on concoctions that you could very well make on your own from less costly ingredients. And hey, if that's good enough for Her Royal Rippedness, you can bet your ass it's good enough for you too Smile

I agree 100% veg!
CEE is a total joke.
I'm going back to Mono
I got the best gains of my life off of pure creatine Mono!

But If BSN gets results like the ones in Bobbi's Avatar...I'm gonna buy my wife a case of it!

I was reading  about this a few weeks ago, and read this on BB.com. I am not sure how much of it I believe or how true it is but I thought I would post it since you guys had mentioned it. I am currently trying to come up with my own preworkout supp as well but have found it is kind of expensive to get everything I want so I am looking around the net for cheap stuff.

"It seems as if Citrulline is better absorbed than Arginine, and since it is a precursor to Arginine, plasma levels of Arginine from oral Citrulline are elevated. Once Arginine is assimilated and goes through the liver, a great portion of it is degraded or broken down.
In Comparison, Citrulline is not cleared by the liver and is taken up by the kidneys and other tissues and then converts to Arginine. In regards to Nitric Oxide, Citrulline has shown to be more potent at reversing the negative actions of Nitric Oxide Synthase Inhibitors, which are enzymes that prevent the synthesis of Nitric Oxide."

Boo Yaah! Nothin' but mono for me, baby! And NO LOADING. I don't even bother to mix the stuff anymore. I just pour 5g of powder straight in my pie hole and wash it down with a glass of cranberry juice cocktail Smile
