Dangerous!!!!
By J. Siegel
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.

Eh, not really worth the money or risk
By D W
To be honest, I really don't like this product very much for a couple of reasons.First, it's supposed to give you added ability to "get over the hump" when you're working out, so you can push out those extra few reps at the end of your sets. After using this for a few weeks, I didn't really notice any major difference between when I was using it, and when I stopped. It's really more about your mental state than anything else. At least it was for me.Second, it's not bad tasting at first, but after a few weeks, it became a fight to choke it down. That doesn't really make a lot of sense to me. I'm supposed to be forcing (to a degree) myself to lift harder, not drink something.Third, I sort of had an issue with the fact that they want you to use it daily, even on non-workout days. I can understand the reasoning behind using protein everyday, since it's a major part of your diet, but using this stuff daily doesn't really seem to make a lot of sense to me. Last time I checked, NO-Xplode wasn't in any nutrition text book I've ever read.All this, combined with some information I've read about people having issues with their livers after using this product, I can't say I'm too happy with this stuff. I definitely would not recommend this to anyone I know, and the only reason I didn't give this stuff one star is because I tend to reserve that for products that are totally bogus.Anyway, this is all just one persons's opinion, but I hope this helps you make your decision.

Dangerous product, NOT recommended!
By J. Emerson
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!
