Product Reviews of BSN N.O.-Xplode Extreme Pre-Training Performance Igniter, Fruit Punch 2.25 lb (1025 g)
Product Review: Dangerous
Summary: 1 Stars
I used no xplode off and on for years. All of the sudden, one day I had very itchy skin. It itched from head to toe. One blood test later I find out that my liver enzymes are through the roof and probably have been for quite some time. I immediately quit all supplements I was on (which consisted of no xplode). One week later my enzymes had lowered but were still high. Hopefully I have not gone to far down the road to be able to recover fully. I would stay far clear of this product as it has a history of creating liver problems for people. I am only 27 years old, and I have some serious liver issues that I am dealing with thanks to this product. I had no idea that this product was so distructive to the liver. Beware!Product Review: Dangerous product, NOT recommended!

I can not stress this enough, read the label and all ingredients before using a product like this. NO Xplode uses some very dangerously high levels of some ingredients, and lots of ingredients that aren't even needed and may actually stop you from reaching your work out goals.
I used NO Xplode for almost a year, cycling it as suggested (3 months on, 1 month off). From the first time I took it I could feel it doing what it stated it would. At the gym I was very pumped up and found myself not getting tired like I would without it. It helped me stay focused.
I have been working out religiously for the past year while on NO Xplode, going nearly every single day. I eventually had to kick up the dosage to 3 scoops to get the same effect as 1 scoop did when I first started. I know this is normal, so it didn't bother me. But after a year, I felt like I was getting the results I expected. I was gaining a lot of muscle mass of course, and saw the weight I could lift getting much higher. But there was fat around my stomach that I just couldn't get rid of. Not a lot, mind you, but enoguh so that my six pack was not visible, and there was still a little grab of fat on my sides. That's when I started looking deeper into the supplements I was taking to try and figure out why.
What I found out shocked me. Maltodextrin. This has no use in this product except being used as filler. In fact, this is the single product responsible for me not being able to lose my extra fat. Look at the label, it is listed under "Other ingredients". It has NO use in this product. It is used as filler and STORES FAT.
The amount of magnesium in this product is unbelieveable. 150mg per scoop. That is 450mg if you use 3 scoops. This is way higher than what a normal adult should intake in A DAY. After taking NO Xplode for about 6 months, I found myself having to run to the bathroom every time I went to the gym, about 15 minutes after I got there. The reason? Magnesium is used by doctors to be a laxative.
Does this product work? Yes. Do I recommend it at all? No way. The maltodextrin and magnesium in the product alone should be enough to keep people away. It can be very dagerous. This review along with the review stating his liver enzymes were through the roof from this product should hopefully be enough warning for people. Oh, and their post workout product, Cellmass, is also packed full of maltodextrin.
So if you are working out like crazy and not getting the results you are expecting, it could be because of the supplements you are taking. There are plenty of alternative supplements out there that do not contain dangerously high levels of ingredients like maltodextrin and magnesium. Make sure you do your research before you purchase!
Product Review: Dangerous!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Do not use this product. Though it provided me with energy for my nightly workouts, after using it for 3 months my Liver Enzymes were through the roof. The danger of elevated LFTs for long term liver disease and permanent damage is great. If I hadn't gone for my routine physical I would not have discovered the elevation of the enzymes. As soon as I stopped the supplement, the enzymes reverted back to normal withnin a few weeks however. Lucky for that! This product should not be on the market. Period! Research it on the internet. You will find similar stories to my own.Product Review: Does what it is supposed to to
Summary: 4 Stars
I use 1 to 1.5 scoops before a workout and have never had a bad experience. Just the benefits of increased energy, focus, and stamina. It has helped me do more reps, and increase weights when I used it. I think some people can have bad reactions, but that is true with any product on the market. My advice would be to try it yourself, and if you have any problems, sell or give the powder to someone who uses it. It's a pretty popular pre-workout mix.
Also don't over do it. It says 3 scoops is the max dose, but I've never gotten near that, and don't think you would need to, unless you are a hardcore workout warrior. Also, make sure to take a break from it for a few weeks every now and then, as recommended. I usually switch up products to try to optimize effect. But this one is my favorite, because I can tell it works.
Product Review: Does what it's supposed to
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this as my favorite pre-workout mix. It gives me the energy to hit the gym as hard as I can for upwards of two hours, something I could have done without the mix, but would have been blown out half way through the work out. This mix also gives greats pumps and combined with the right exercises will make your arms feel like they're going to xplode. Highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to take their workout to the next level or has those lazy days where you need some extra energy to get you started. I would suggest eating a power bar or something an hour before taking this because I've heard of people having a weird feeling in their stomach but most of them take it on a completely empty stomach which is very easy to upset in general.
