I really enjoyed N.O. Xplode it boosted my energy quite well but the more i used it i felt the more that i became immune to it. It gave me a really good pump and i felt my muscles bulge when i used it. it seemed to stack well with other products. This was my favorite pre workout supplement. I have tried every flavor and they all tasted good blue raspberry being my favorite by far. This kept me alert from the instant i took it i often spent my rides to the gym finding my self driving faster then normal wanting to get there and tackle the weights. overall this product was very good and i recommend it.

Made me throw up all 3 times i tried it =/ It's a shame because seems to be a pretty popular supplement for most. Every product varies from one person to the other tho. Mixed ok tho. Tasted pretty bad. Other then that, it ruined all attempts to workout.

BSN No-Xplode was the first supplement, besides Whey protein and fat burners, that i bought thinking it was a hardcore one and i would get huge from it. If i would have made this review when trying it, i would've said that No-Xplode gave me solid gains and vascularity but after trying many others, i discovered that No-Xplode did almost nothing for me.

One of the few aspects i could positively felt was the focus increase as well as alertness, i felt more active and no fatigue at all. Pumps were good but just as when you carb up, i mean very natural ones, nothing that exceeded my expectations. I was at a high BF (almost 18) when i tried it, so vascularity is hard to tell but i didn't get much hardening, so i would say so-so.

The only flavors i got was the Fruit Punch, and i remember that is stated on the label that you should mix it, not shake it, still dont know why. The taste is decent but kind sweet and at first, its bad but you when you start to get used to it, it becomes decent.

I think this is a solid Preworkout supplement for newbies, or those that are beginners at implementing this kind of supplements, but i would opt for others since this one is also kind expensive, not worth in my opinion.

Not as bad as everyone makes it seem. I personally think no-xplode is a decent product, just priced higher than it should be, but its a business world and everyone is out there to make money, if bsn makes money at the price, why stop.?...onto the review...

Pumps are decent, above average in my opinion, nothing mind blowing like i have tried.
The energy boost is not as much as most products (this is why it gets bad reviews). Its simply less caffeine content in comparison to other products, so you dont get as much energy, and not for as long, personally not an issue for me, i dont need to be jacked up on caffeine all throughout my workout.

The taste is simply amazing, bsn has argueably one of the best flavoring systems i have tried, great job on this one, and it mixes quick and perfectly as well

The other day me and a friend sampled a serving of NO-Explode by BSN and I was pleased with the results I got from it.

Strength- It was an Arms day and it really gave me some good strength to get in a few more reps per set.

Pump- The pump was even better than the strength and really made me feel bigger and helped me push through the workout.

Taste- It was mixed with about 16oz of water and tasted fine. There are better tasting things out there but this was easy to drink and kind of liked the Fruit Punch flavor.

Mixing- It didn't mix too well at first but after shaking it and letting it sit for a bit it turned out fine.

In the end No-Explode by BSN is a great NO product with alot of good ingredients.

I'm not one of those guys that uses an NO product every workout, but when I need a boost I have a bottle of NO-Xplode around for that pre workout pick me up. I love xplode, and it gets a pretty bad rap for losing its effectiveness over time. As I said, this is n/a to me as I only take it once in a while, but I did rate it as if I took it every day in terms of developing a tolerance to it.

The reason I enjoy xplode so much is because within 15 minutes of taking it I start getting pumped up, and by the time I get to the gym I'm ready to attack the weights and this energy and pump last throughout my entire workout. Taste leaves something to be desired (I have blue raspberry), but it mixes fine and the benefits are good enough that I will continue to use it.

There are more cost effective products out there, but this works for me and I don't plan on switching, especially because it's not something I use every day.

The key component of NO-Xplode is nitric oxide, a gas that increases blood flow, enhancing nutrient delivery to muscles. In addition, it stimulates the endocrine system, increasing the release of adrenaline. Science aside, No-Xplode really gets you amped for a workout. Pumps were great, focus was intense, and strength seemed to be increased. Unfortunately, the biggest kick probably comes from the caffeine, which you can easily build a tolerance to. If used rarely, though, it will definitely give you the extra energy you need.

Flavorwise, the Blue Raspberry is great, but the Orange is pretty bad.

Who hasn't fallen victim to BSN's impressive marketing? NO-Xplode is probably the first pre-workout enhancer most will try due to its market presence. I am no different.

The first thing I noticed is of course the mixability. It does not fully dissolve and often leaves chunks at the bottom. The only way to get this all down is the mix and immediately drink while it is in suspension. The taste is mediocre. It gets bad at the bottom when you're eating those clumps.

On to the good stuff. The increase in energy and focus comes about 20 minutes after consumption. It's very noticeable and all I wanted to do was lift once this hit me. I had increased energy at the gym and was able to squeak out a few more reps. Noticed a bit more vascularity as well.

The only side effect I noticed was the occasional headache - probably due to the large amounts of caffeine.

Biggest downside to this product is its price. Without mentioning names, there are other pre-workout formulas that are, arguably, much better as well as cheaper.

I bought this supplement closer to the beginning of my working out seriously. I bought the Blue Raspberry flavor. The taste was actually quite good, but a little sweet and sour. If you stir the stuff in water you get unmixed powder at the bottom usually, so its best to shake it (And yes, this is fine to do even though it says not to. The mix is carbonated so be careful to hold the lid tightly). After taking this product, I immediately felt more energetic, but after about 12 days, this effect died down. I didn’t really like the way to product made me feel in the head, it always made me jittery and wired. It was good for getting a good energy boost for the gym, and I did get some good pumps, but the effects didn’t really make this product worth the money at all. It was pricey and I know there are a lot of other products out there that would serve me better.

BSN's NO-Xplode is one of the best pre-workout products on the market today. I had the pleasure last year around November to purchase one container of it. Now let's get into the review.

Mixing/Taste: I got the Lemonade flavor and mixes it pretty good. As soon as you put it in the water, it fizzes a little and you just serve. The flavor of Lemonade is strong, but still very tasty once you get use to it. I took it 30 minutes before my workout.

Ingredients: It contains AKG and BSN own CEM3 as the the main ingredients along with an Ener-tropic complex which gives energy and focus. The only downside is that it contains some ingredients that I have no clue about. The effect of CEE is still questionable, but this product still works like advertised.

Effects: From the first time taking it to the last, you still experience great vascularity and huge pumps. I got a huge vein running through my biceps which can now be seen when I am not working out. Pumps are great. I changed up the doses up some days to get a stronger effect. The energy is pretty decent and I did not feel a crash. I have a strong tolerance anyway. You feel focused mentally and my bench jumped up. I did not get any side effects from this product. For a while, you can feel like you can't be stopped in the gym.

Price: I got this product on sale at GNC for $39.99. It contains 40 servings which means each serving is about a dollar. This is a great price for a product.

Overall, I feel NO-Xplode should deserve all the credit its getting. The formula is getting better and better.

My opinion of this product is nothing short of excellent. It like all NOS products, in my experience really work on an empty stomache as there effects can be diluted rapidly depending upon what you might have eaten before hand.

I would not bother to stack with Nitrix, it did nothing further for me. But stacked with Solgar Arginine has gives me longer lasting effects ( might be all in my mind, but people around me are seeing the effects!).

Oh my goodness!! this product is great!!! This product is unlike any other Nitric oxide product. When I took this product it helped my lifts dramatically and I felt super energized. Before taking nitric oxide explode I was benching 110 and after about a week I was benching up to 130! If there was one product I had to choose to use for the rest of my life then this product would definatley be it. The taste is also bangin and doesn't taste chemical like. In my opinion BSN is one of the most trustworthy names in supplement products and they certainly delivered with N.O X plode.
Benefits of using this product:
Improved Strength
Higher Energy
Intense mental focus and motivation
Intense endurance
Crazy vascularity and pumps

Another note is I would stick to what the side of the bottle says and don't go trying to use your own serving size.

This product by bsn is a decent mediocre product. This product delivers pumps and energy but the shakes are intolerable. I witnessed good energy while being shaky which resulted in my workouts just being messed up. The taste is good on this product and the value for the money is decent. This product is a decent energy product but if you shake a lot from nitric oxide products like me then I would not suggest buying it. I thought the shakes aspect of it was just temporary but whenever I took it I would shake. The shakes really disrupted my workouts because they messed with my heart rate and made my focus become lower. Overall without the shakes I would've really liked this product. Other nitric oxide products that are at no xplodes level or above are gaspari nutrition superpump and vpx no shotgun. Overall this product is a 3 out of 5.

Having never used an NO product before, I had high hopes for N.O Explode. This product surpassed my hopes. From what is claimed to happen on the bottle, to the commercials on tv, it lives up to what it claims to do.
Physical Enery: 8/10 My workouts were intense and I had tons of energy after taking it.
Focus/Alertness: 8/10 I was focused on my lifts and very alert, almost jumpy.
Strength: 8/10 I felt much stronger in the gym after taking NO Explode. It wasn't just a placebo effect because I felt this for the whole two months of taking it.
Pump/Vascularity: 8/10 The pump was insane and my veins were bulging from my arms.
Stamina: 9/10 I felt like I could go all day in the gym and not get tired.
Safety: 5/10 While on this product I sometime felt sick due to having taken it on an empty stomach. I also sometimes got light headed.
Taste/Mixability: The berry flavor and lemonade flavor both mixed easily with a spoon and had good taste.
Value: For such a great product, the price was not over the top. I purchased a bottle for like 35 dollars for a month supply.
Overall, if you are looking for a good NO product, NO explode is worth your money. It will give you the pump and energy you are looking for, for a good price.

Bsn No-xplode did nothing for me. I first bought this product looking for an increased energy boost because I am usually tired from work and during my workout sessions I dont really feel amped up. I looked into no-xplode because I heard a lot of people were taking it so I bought it. First of all the taste was decent, it was better than any other No product that I tried.. After tasting it I thought the results would match the taste. When i went to the gym I felt no difference at all...so the next day I tried more and still no difference.. I dunno If I am tolerant to caffeine or what but I just didnt feel anything. I wish I could return this product and I'd call it BS No-xplode.
Cliffs:
Didnt feel energy boost
Wasted 40$
tolerant to caffeine

Also dont buy this product if you got a weak stomach, I have experienced many bad diarrhea events from using it.

This product doesn't live up to the hype. I took this product back when I just started weightlifting. The first few days while I was on it I noticed that my energy and everything were through the roof.. I was glad that I bought it... but after 1-2 weeks I noticed that my tolerance built up really quickly and it started not to work.. Besides me not feeling any more effects from this product it is overall ok. The only great part is the taste. I suggest trying from a friend first before buying. Also Id be careful taking this product if you have a weak stomach or a weak heart. The amount of caffeine in it made me throw up sometimes and I also notice that I experience heart palpitations on it. Id start of with a small amount of mix and work my way up so your body can get used to the chemicals inside of no- xplode.

I've tried NO-Xplode when I started working out. I was at 3 scoops ever since I started the new bottle and at first you felt a small lift off, but it didn't last long. Neither did the bottle. I think it is a little more expensive as far as these supplements go, and you can get one thats stronger for the same price.

It felt weak as far as energy and focus based on of how its advertised. Its way more hyped up then it should be and there are much better alternatives for pumps and energy. The CEE spoiled the taste and it was very strong.

It also supressed my appetite post-workout, felt hungry but didn't want to eat. Probably all the caffeine, but that might be a good thing or a bad thing.

The addition of carbs pre-workout was nice though. Gave some fuel like Gatorade. I think overall No-XPLODE is the more fun product but its effectiveness and price are standing on different cliffs.

During my early lifting days the hot product was N.O Explode. I took it month after month due to the excitement surrounding it, and the fact all of my friends were as well. I seemed to have overlooked the fact that it was doing little to nothing for me. It did give a reasonably good pump, as well as a quick energy boost, but this only lasted so long. My body adapted very quickly to the product and soon after starting it, I needed to take more and more to get the same effects as in the beginning. The caffeine in N.O Explode makes you rather jittery, especially since you only started with one scoop and very soon after you have to make the jump to 3. If you are going to use this product you must be prepared to have another on hand for use after one or two months. You have to switch up this product as your pre-workout supplement because of its propensity to be adjusted to in the body so quickly. It does not taste the greatest and mixes rather poorly. You are always putting more water in your glass to scrape out the remains. Overall, I would look at Superpump or White Flood.

This product is normally pretty expensive, so when i saw it go on sale i jumped at the opportunity to try NO Explode. I had high hopes, as i had heard great reviews from other users (mostly beginners). When i actually did try the product, all I got was a caffeine rush that i could have gotten from drinking a Red Bull. The rush was good, as i work out in the mornings and could use the energy. The pump that i had been promised though never came. I was energized to the point where i was shaking, but i noticed no improvement in vascularity or strength. I continued to use the rest of the tub every morning, hoping i was in a loading phase and the effects would kick in shortly, but they never came. I never took the supplement on rest days unless i was in desperate need of energy. I finished off the tub in about a month, because i had taken around two scoops per serving. Mixing it is a little awkward, as it fizzes up and bubbles, but i got used to it. I took it about 30 minutes pre-workout and found that the caffeine kicked in about when i began my session. Overall, i wouldn't take this product again unless it was extremely cheap
