Here we have a slightly updated product with added extras and a new packet packaging system which is perfect for having in your gym bag! If you're after intense focus and pumps then this is certainly one to consider, there's a reason it's been around for so long and still is a top seller! 5 Stars
BSN N.O.-XPLODE™NT is the next evolution of BSN®'s #1-selling extreme pre-training energy and performance igniter. Athletes from all fields of competition will experience unprecedented levels of energy and motivation as well as the mental focus to excel at the highest levels. This cutting-edge formula works to relax blood vessels and support blood flow by promoting nitric oxide production, thereby supporting oxygen and nutrient delivery to muscle tissue, which results in increased muscle work capacity and efficiency. Muscle power and strength are greatly enhanced, while the fullness and density of muscles are also markedly improved.
BSN N.O.-XPLODE™NT is truly one of the most advanced pre-workout igniters in existence, offering serious athletes the ultimate in training intensity and performance. No serious training regimen is complete without it.
I love the original BSN N.O.-XPLODE™; how is N.O.-XPLODE™NT different from the original?
N.O.-XPLODE™, the extreme pre-training energy and performance igniter, is the original pre-training supplement that created the entire pre-training category of products. It's the formula that millions have relied on to ignite countless workouts, taking their energy and intensity to a level that was never thought possible. In time, an individual's training will evolve. To ensure that their physique and performance evolve, their pre-training supplementation must evolve as well. N.O.-XPLODE™NT provides users with all of the same benefits as the original with several added benefits. These added benefits include greater delivery and loading of oxygen to the muscle cells, regulation of insulin, greater ATP resynthesis, electrolyte replenishment and superior hydration, all designed to enhance resistance to muscular fatigue. In addition to the added benefits of N.O.-XPLODE™NT, another difference is the convenient stick-pack packaging. By delivering N.O.-XPLODE™NT in a stick-pack, we have made pre-training supplementation easier and more convenient than ever. No matter where you go, you can ensure you never fail to ignite a workout ever again.
Currently I take 2 scoops of BSN N.O.-XPLODE™ prior to training. How many stick-packs of N.O.-XPLODE™NT do I need to consume before I train?
Due to the extremely powerful formula of N.O.-XPLODE™NT, we recommend starting with ½ a stick-pack prior to training the first time you use N.O.-XPLODE™NT. You can save the remaining ½ stick-pack in the provided Supplement Saver contained within your box of N.O.-XPLODE™NT. Once you have assessed your tolerance, if you typically consume 2 scoops of the original N.O.-XPLODE™ prior to training, using 1 stick-pack should be sufficient. In time, if desired, you may increase your serving size to 2 stick packs. To assess your tolerance, increases in serving size should be in ½ stick-pack increments.
How does N.O.-XPLODE™NT exhibit anti-catabolic effects?
To aid in the anti-catabolic effects produced from N.O.-XPLODE™NT, novel variations of the branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine have been added to the formula. L-Leucine Nitrate, L-Isoleucine Nitrate, and L-Valine Nitrate are nitrated branched-chain amino acids designed to promote absorption and physiological functionality. Branched-chain amino acids consumed during training are thought to spare muscle glycogen, promote anabolism, anti-catabolism, recovery, and production of alanine and glutamine. Additionally, Creatine-Alpha Aminobutyric Acid (Creatine AAB™) has been added to N.O.-XPLODE™NT, helping further provide anti-catabolic effects. Creatine-Alpha Aminobutyric Acid possesses anti-catabolic properties. Leucine, the branched-chain amino acid, is metabolized to ketoisocaproate, which is then metabolized to alpha aminobutyric acid; this metabolite may promote protein synthesis and minimize protein damage from intense training. Lastly, N.O.-XPLODE™NT has been fortified with nucleotides (Cytidine 5'monophosphate, Uridine 5'monophosphate, Guanosine 5' monophosphate, Adenosine 5' monophosphate, Inosine 5' monophosphate), which are a group of compounds that consist of nucleosides and phosphates, designed to provide the substrate for the formation of the nucleic acids DNA and RNA - key components to protein synthesis.
On the original N.O.-XPLODE™ label, it reads "DO NOT SHAKE." Is this the same for N.O.-XPLODE™NT?
N.O.-XPLODE™NT, as with N.O.-XPLODE™, contains a patented Nutrient Suspension Matrix and Effersorb Delivery System, which is part of the product's absorption system. If you were to shake N.O.-XPLODE™NT in a closed container (e.g., a shaker cup) pressure would build, potentially popping the top off the container. Though shaking does not cause any reaction, or degrade the product, it does build up gas pressure in the container you shake it in, making for a potentially dangerous situation if the lid pops. We recommend not shaking N.O.-XPLODE™NT to mix it. Rather, simply mix the powder with the recommended amount of water in a tall glass, and stir with a spoon. Within a few stirs, it will be perfectly mixed.
Do I need to take N.O.-XPLODE™NT every day, even on non-training days?
Though it is not necessary to consume N.O.-XPLODE™NT on non-training days, you can if you choose to. Some individuals use N.O.-XPLODE™NT on non-training days for an energy boost and others do so as a way to keep their daily creatine consumption up. However, it is not necessary for the product to be effective.

“ Without a doubt the best pre-workout supplement, it opens your muscles up to do more work and take more damage which if you can handle it pays off is a very big way. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in casual or intense muscle-gain. ”

“ Just got in from the gym after trying a sample. It tasted a bit strange (grape) but can normally put up with bad tasting supplements so not bad. I did notice a difference in the gym and felt a good pump after! Expensive though! Not bad i'd say 7/10 ”
