Why Can't You Shake NO-Xplode?

**sgermann** · 01-04-2007, 10:58 PM

On the bottle, there is a big label that says that you should stir the powder into water rather than shaking it. Is there a reason for this? I've noticed that the supp seems like it is carbonated when you mix it. Could this be the reason? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try it

I'm not sure what, but some gas is released, (not NO) I guess it's a reaction with the water or something.

it's probably because it's a worthless supplement

To an extent, its not a worth while supp. 1g creatine per 100mg caffeine per scoop doesnt make sense.

How do you know there's 1g of Creatine? But that's beside the fact, it's a pre-workout energy supplement, not a creatine supplement. I found that arginine and citrulline malate work for me, but I think next time I'll try superpump250

lets get back to the topic guys....

**fin_13** · 01-05-2007, 01:04 AM

u should try searching the supplement forum. lots of topics on this there

**armorforsleep** · 01-05-2007, 02:15 AM

itll explode in your stomache....nahh

but really i used to take it and when i put it in my shaker bottle after shaking it i took the lid off and it was quite carbonated and a lil bit sprayed out

just stir it in a glass witha spoon and you will be fine

**thefifthfreedom** · 01-05-2007, 02:49 AM

it could be because its carbonated (not sure) but it does release some kind of pressure when you shake it in a closed container. i normally stir it with a spoon or put it in a gatorade bottle filled with water, shake it, and open it up immediately. some pressure is released when you open the top but not alot.

**Joemama06** · 01-05-2007, 02:55 AM

someone said there was baking soda in it before, dunno how true that is but yes it is carbonated.

**Secret_Hope** · 01-06-2007, 08:40 AM

It's almost like Super Pump 250. I put a scoop of it into a shaker bottle and 10 seconds later...BOOM. Just stir the stuff.

umm... blah12345, NO products are mainly made up of arginine, which ur body turns into NO, as for the question, could be some sort of chemical reaction?? no idea

Lol, did I say that they weren't? I said that the gas released isn't NO because you aren't just drinking NO.

**travdawg** · 01-06-2007, 11:56 AM

i remember reading an article about this and they said not to shake it because if you do shake it then the helpful part of the creatine dissolves and makes it useless to drink.

don't know the exact reasoning, just don't shake it.

THE ONLY REASON YOU CAN'T SHAKE IT, IT'S SO IT WON'T EXPLODE IN YOUR FACE, CALL THE HELP LINE AND THEY WILL TELL YOU THE SAME THING BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I DID.

**ThatArmyKid** · 05-15-2008, 05:54 PM

YOU WON'T LOOSE ANY OF THE HELPFUL PARTS!!! I CALLED THE BSN HELP LINE AND THEY SAID THE ONLY REASON YOUR NOT SUPPOSE TO SHAKE IS BECAUSE IT WILL EXPLODE AS IF YOU WERE SHAKING A SODA CAN. I ASKED ANY OTHER REASON AND THEY SAID NO.

**L-Guidomine** · 05-15-2008, 05:56 PM

i think they just say that to add to the bogus overdramatic claim.

send me free supps

just saying.

but anyways...it's not a creatine supp that's why they suggest you take cell-mass aswell

**itslocke** · 05-15-2008, 06:11 PM

Too bad arginine products are a scam...and it'll XPLODE!!!

**adrenergic** · 05-15-2008, 06:17 PM

arginine by itself has been shown to increase muscle mass by 10% in studies..

I've called the BSN Hotline and you are right they don't want for you to shake incase it'll blow up on your face or shirt that's the only reason.

**ThatGymDude** · 05-16-2008, 06:23 AM

Because of the effervescence a gas is released and if you shake it in an hermetic bottle it'll pop the cover

**\J/** · 05-16-2008, 06:39 AM

you can shake it

**MillerTime07** · 05-16-2008, 07:20 AM

wow all retards in this thread. the reason you cant shake it is b/c itll release gases and the lid will pop off of your shake bottle and make a mess.
