i think some people are too dramatic. n.o explode is fine. i'm 17 and took a tub of it and i'm ok. it also has benefits like increased blood flow if i'm correct.

N.O. is very good stuff. 3 scoops 45 minutes before you workout and you feel great, while your lifting those heavy weights.

I finished my first jar of No-x about a month ago and also conducted a poll in this forum to find the percentage of teens who have also used NO-xplode prior to working out.
What I found was.....

1. Take NO-x one hour AFTER EATING.

2. After taking NO-x wait 30-45 min then work out.

3. Keep your self hydrated.

A failure in any of these 3 will result in diarrhea, dizziness, vomiting, and of course fainting.

The effects of NO-xpolde are similar to those of caffine. If this is youre first time taking a supplement I strongly recomend taking only 1-2 messure full your beginnig weeks. And if you ask around youll hear people complane about "pissing every minuet" becose of NO-x but this is in fact due to drinking alot of water.

Oh and I almost forgot one more rule.
4. Never mix NO-X in a bottle, close it, and shake it. (We all found out this one on are own).

And I also heard the fruit punch taste the pretty good.

but the bottle says in bold letters do not shake. and isn't it carbinated

No Xplode is good stuff. I am currently taking it for about a month. Just take it after 2 hours after your last meal. The creatine in the no xplode is the ethyl ester which is the best creatine out there.

NOX doesn't have alot of creatine. The main ingredient is nitric oxide (that's where the NO comes), and there's some speculation that it might effect the cardiovascular health. Don't know about liver probs, that would have more to do with speculation on creatine (which I've understood to be somewhat ungrounded).

Creatine is not bad for u so long as you take it right and drink lots and lots of water.

4. Never mix NO-X in a bottle, close it, and shake it. (We all found out this one on are own). "

The same goes with creatine. :)

If you're bored and have some time on your hands, then do this:

1. Warm about 0.7dl of water so that it's a good bit warmer than your finger, like 50-60° C.

2. Put the water to a shaker.

3. Add 100g of maltodextrine, 50g of whey and about 5g of creatine.

4. Close the shaker.

5. Grip the shaker's top and bottom very hard and shake even harder.

6. Clean up half of the kitchen from the explosion and then go to a shower to wash yourself.

Oh those days...

Edit. Yeah to the question, I've read somewhere that it might cause health problems with extended use, but I don't think there's anything to worry about with using it if you keep yourself hydrated and have eated well. It's more about the cost that's a bit off with it; ypu know, it costs pretty much. I don't use any supps myself anymore, Real food is healthier and most of the time cheaper.

Haha I feel kinda bad for ya "feardafro128", you had an entire paragraph of questions and statements on NO Xplode and 1 sentence on protein, but yet the first like 5 responses are about protein (guess they never read your original post).

Well, anyway, I have been using NO Xplode about 4 times a week (before lifting) for the past 3-4 weeks. I will tell you what I know and what I think will help you/answer your question(s).

What "Angel" said is pretty right on from what I've experienced. With eating, although it says to take NO Xplode on an empty stomach, I would recommend you eat something small about 1-1.5hrs before taking it. It seems when I take NOX after not eating for 3+ hrs I get really dizzy and lightheaded and don't feel as well. If I eat somethin samll a little before I take NOX I feel really good.

Also, it is very important to stay hydrated. If you don't, thats when many of the side effects can occur such as severe dizzyness, upset stomach, headache, etc.

Yes, and wait at least 30 min after takin NOX before lifting. 45 min is about perfect for me.

Aside from this, not much else you need to know i guess. NOX is not really a creatine supp (contains less than 1 g per scoop) its more of a preworkout energizer to get the blood flowin and veins popin (if you want creatine, I would recommend cellmass--also by BSN). Theres a lot of caffeine in it also so if your sensitive to stimulants (like me) stick with about 1 scoop of NOX for a while and let yourself get used to it and to asses your tolerance.

The thing Angel is talkin about with the mixing in a closed bottle I think is that whenever I mix NOX with water in a glass is fizzes so I guess theres some gas or sumthin that is released. If you do that in a closed container I guess it would inflate or perhaps explode. Just use a cup or glass i guess.

If you're worried about the earlier replies concerning protein do either or both of these: 1. research it yourself 2. remember that Lynx100 is a moderator for a reason--he knows what he is talking about. In my opinion, I have never heard of a high protein diet being harmful

Anyways, hope this helps. Peace.

Another thing, whoever asked about my diet. All my life my diet has been horrible. Now, All i eat is Junk food (Fast Food, Frozen Meals) or just big portions of Chicken or steak with potatoes. I barely eat fruit and I rarely eat vegetables. Another thing that I know is bad for me, is I never have breakfast, I wake up at 9 am and I won't eat anything till 5 pm except for a morning protein shake. The last bad thing I do is I eat a huge meal before I go to sleep. I'm trying to adjust, but It's taking time

My advise is to adjust your eating habits first before consuming any kind of supp and that includes NO-XPLODE.

I predict that you will see an amazing transformation if you do nothing but change your diet, even if this transformation is limited to how you feel on a day-to-day basis.

You can adjust to a new diet in a bunch of ways. Two are: (1) figure out your meal plan for a day, and eat that over and over. A lot of guys do this, and seem quite happy. It sure makes food prep easy, because you know exactly what to buy and you can make it easy in bulk. (2) sign up or buy software (or hire a personal trainer/nutritions) that/who will generate a food plan for you based on your calorie needs, and proportions of the various nutrients. This is what I use when I'm sloughing off on the diet. I absolutely have to have variety, otherwise, I go nuts (nuttier?). Requires more planning, but because the menu is there, if you go shopping once a week (the plans often generate a shopping list for you), and do your food prep at least once a week (I prep most of my lunches and snacks for the work week, and prepare everything else as necessary), you'll be the good boyscout and less likely to deviate.

In response to the quote earlier I have some questions. I'll post the quote I'm talking About.

" 1. Take NO-x one hour AFTER EATING.

3. Keep your self hydrated.

4. Never mix NO-X in a bottle, close it, and shake it. (We all found out this one on are own). "

My questions are 1) on the bottle, it says to take NO-x two hours after eating and 2) to NEVER shake it, only mix it with a utensil. It seems you are contradicting the instructions it gives. Are you sure that's right?

Besides all the excellent info contained here already about the effects of high protein levels- How's the rest of your diet, anyway?
Supps can be helpful- but more importantly, they're designed to supplement a diet that's already geared towards your goals.
Do you have the basics down as far as food goes at this point? Do you know how many calories a day you should be getting- If so, are you getting that amount, and if so, which food sources are your calories coming from?
If your solid food diet isn't at it's best yet, I wouldn't even worry about the supplements right now anyway. Get your diet straightened out first- Check out the calorie calculator thread near the top of the nutrition forum for starters. The gains you'll get from eating the right amounts of the right foods will FAR exceed the gains you'll get from any supp.
