yup its a fact

Diet is a very important factor in keeping herpes in remission. It has been found that foods high in I-Arginine may cause herpes outbreaks.

How much Zinc is in the supplements?

I know that if you intake a lot of zinc, you may get a rash or you face and body gets warm and itchy. Ive experienced this with that Pure Protein, the one that has 50g/serving. I think thats what that was, it had a lot of zinc in it.

I heard zinc can cause rashes too...

so that has got to suck if you have herpes and get rashes from the zinc


damn what a bad side effect oh no explode arginine and zinc....youll get an outbreak of herpes and then develop a heat rash.

most def your probally allergic to it did you see how many ingredients are in that thing? you should stop using it and take something simple...you have got to be allergic to one of those ingredients maybe the potassium?

here are the ingredients....too many i heard no xplode can mess with your heart too.

It is true that Arginine has been linked to fever blister/herpes outbreaks. Lysine has the opposite effect, and a high lysine intake can counteract the outbreak provoking effects of arginine.

To the guy making the original post: look up some pictures of a condition called shingles. It is fairly common and is a very similar virus to herpes, being of the same family of viruses and possibly brought on by high doses of arginine (although all studies I have seen with regard to arginine and outbreaks dealt with only HSV). Shingles is actually chichen pox (a virus that after it is gone from the skin, lives on in the body in remission, and then if it flairs up again is called shingles) Shingles more commonly shows up on the face, chest and legs. The rash is less intense than the pictures you probably saw of HSV. Here are some pictures of shingles:

http://www.mediscan.co.uk/cfm/result...ageno=1&log=nk

Whow!, I just looked at those and those pictures of shingles are way worse than a lot of the cases I have seen in the past. Most people diagnosed with this only have a slight rash. However this may not be what you are suffering from because shingles is typically very painful, and you said it doesn't itch or hurt.

small red-dot rashes, esp on the chest and face, are the most common allergic reaction symptom. So that certainly could be an explaination, there are a lot of ingredients in NOXpode that you could be sensative to.

Most likely is that you are just sensative to arginine's nirogen sparing effects. Some people are just like that. You give them a dose of arginine, or niacin (which causes redness through another mechanism) and they just turn read like beats, sometimes in splotches or dots. If this is the case then it is not dangerous, just something that is going to happen when you take a lot of Arginine.

I hope it clears up soon for ya.

You are right

Hey Eche07,

It is definitely caused by No-Explode.... I have been using it for 3 weeks now and it is causing me acne and rashes on my face.

The reason:
(increased blood flow to the skin)...duh!!! The No oxide in the product increases blood flow to the skin and due to this the toxins in the blood are flushed out through skin pores... The most likely afected areas may be the face and the shoulders. Try and minimise the use...I have actually increased the use after being on a low dose for 3 weeks now....I am going to cut back and cycle this(This product does give insane pumps though)...

Remedy:
DETOXIFY WITH STEAM:
Heat speeds up the chemical processes in the body, making steam bathing one of the simplest and most comfortable ways to rid the body of accumulated toxins. As the pores open up and millions of sweat glands start to excrete, the body rids itself of metabolic and other waste products. Sweat contains almost the same elements as urine, and for this reason, the skin is sometimes called the third kidney. It is estimated that as much as 30 % of bodily wastes are eliminated by way of perspiration.

Also try and apply glycerine and rose water to affected areas before you go to sleep. I know this sounds girly but it helps...
