Disappointed With NO Xplode
I just got my first tub of No Explode in and I am kinda disappointed. I have used it twice and it seems the only thing I have gotten was sick to my stomach and heartburn. I took 2 scoops the first day and got no effect except heartburn. Thinking I didnt take enough, I took 3 scoops the second day and was feeling queezy during my entire workout. I again got heartburn from it. What is the deal. It might be worth it if it tasted good or gave me that "I can lift the gym" feeling but it dont give me any extra energy. Am I doing something wrong or does it just not work? Thanks.

Supposedly one of the larger ingredients of NO Xplode is caffeine. Is this a tub of the new version or the old version? I have a tub of the old version sitting here.
There are a lot better NO supps IMO. If you are looking for a better pump per say I would recommend Aerobitine
http://bodybuilding.com/store/snac/aero.html
The product write up states

The sports nutrition industry has recently been flooded with nitric oxide potentiating products that contain a combination of L-arginine salts and in some cases L-citrulline malate. These two ingredients may increase nitric oxide production, but these products are missing key antioxidant ingredients, which significantly reduces their overall effectiveness. Exercise alone has been shown to increase nitric oxide levels in the body. Increasing nitric oxide production enhances blood flow and circulation, however, few realize that it also generates additional tissue damaging free radicals such as ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) and RNS (Reactive Nitrogen Species). These free radicals must be "quenched" (neutralized) by an effective anti-oxidant defense team of nutrients to prevent negative side effects.
Aerobitine contains both L-arginine and L-citrulline malate, as well as folic acid, which has also been shown to aid in the production of nitric oxide. In addition, Aerobitine contains several powerful antioxidant ingredients including R-lipoic acid (10 times more effective than alpha lipoic acid), vitamin C, selenomethionine and a blended tocopherol complex. This dynamic formulation provides a wide range of performance enhancing benefits. Aerobitine is undeniably the ultimate Anti-Fatigue/Fat Loss formula.

So basically Aerobitine has Arginine, Citrulline malate and a little more to give you that perfect pump thanks to their aid in the increase of NO production.

no-xplode = overrated and over priced... gives very jittery feeling
try superpump250, white flood, no shotgun, shock therapy... all are great products. depending on where you bought your xplode you can take it back if your not satisfied.

I bought it from bb.com. I am in iraq so its not so easy to send back. I can probably sell it to some guys out here that love it. I didnt get jittery and it is overpriced. What do those other products do? Give you that super pumped feeling?

I have the new version. If I wanted caffeine, I would just buy a Monster energy drink or drink some coffee. You know how some days you go into the gym and feel crazy strong, focused, and you feel like you don't want to leave...like you could stay in there and do a weeks routine in one day? I love that feeling and am looking for a supplement that gives that to me every time I enter the gym.

Personally Superpump 250 gives me that feeling every time i take it, its a great Pre work out sup in my opinion, but i have also heard NO shotgun is insane, but for now id suggest Superpump, it gives great pumps.

i tried no xplode, the blue raspberry ****, didnt taste bad imo, gave a little boost (mostly from the caffeine) but to me its not worth the price and the results from it are minimal, nothing earth shattering
i heard no shotgun sucks too from a lot of people who tried it
controlled labs seems to be the label of choice these days, although i havent tried their products yet i plan on doing a WF/GM stack at the end of my ECA/Creatine cycle

Why is that causing the heartburn? How much am I supposed to take? The jar label says take one scoop then 15-20 minutes later take another one if you don't feel anything. Thats what I did the first day and got nothing from it. The second day I took 3 scoops at once and it didn't do anything either. The label says not to take more than 3 scoops so what should I do?

Lots of people have reported heartburn from NO Xplode. I think it could very well be the combination of glycocyamine and a hefty dose of caffeine.
The stuff is garbage, period. I would go with Superpump250(Blue Raspberry Flavor), White Flood from Controlled Labs, Ragnarok from Millennium, NO Shotgun from VPX, or Hypershock from Myogenix.

Some supps just react different to different people, over all something in the NO Xplode is just not reacting well with your body and mine as well stop taking it if its not giving you the pumps, with the added heartbearn, Controlled laabs is the rave right now, id look into WF.

You've been listening to the wrong people then. NO Shotgun might taste crappy, but its a superior product to NO Xplode in every single imaginable way with the exception of taste.

I might look into that. Is there anywhere you can get sample packs of different supps?

Yes, I did take it on an empty stomach, I did stir it not shake it, and I did use about 5 oz of water. I followed the directions to the T.

A good caffeine-free product is the Stim-free Ragnarok from Millennium. The stuff tastes good and its great for focus/intensity without giving you that cracked out feeling.

NoXplode my ass!!! You ever shaken it and left it sit with the lid on? It'll blow it right the f**k off!! (Yes, I know it say NOT to do that, but it does indeed do that if you don't read ALL the directions)

sorry to hear its not going well for you. Maybe try taking carbs with it? Try drinking a glass of water and eating a granola bar 15 minutes before you consume the NO explode. Maybe that will help.
the only thing i got from it was bloat. But it kinda worked for me to be honest. People react to it differently.
id recommend White Flood. You can get free samples of CL products from bb.com. Visit the company "promotion forum," and check it out. WF is very very good, and lasts a lifetime

I've tried a few of the similar supplements and NO-Xplode worked the best. It may have had something to do with my own motivation at the time, but each day that I took my NO-Xplode and got ready to work out, I was JACKED-UP and pumped up. I would like to try some more similar products until I find the best, but for now, every product will be compared to NO-Xplode's effects (for me).
Didn't have any of the heartburn issues.
One quick question:
Is there a place to find out exactly how much caffeine is in each of these supplements?
