I am a revisited weight-lifting member. It has been over 15 years since I worked out, and I knew very little about nutrition back then. I have been doing my own research about supplements, nutrition, sleep, training exercises.
From what I gather, protein and creatine are proven supps.
Glutamine has conflicting information but scientific sources say there is no evidence to support body building gains.

I tried NO Xplode after a friend recommended it. We call it “go-go juice” because it makes you want to “go go go!”. As Renae pointed out, depending on your stomach state (empty/full) you will begin to feel tingling in your face/cheeks/lips maybe limbs, etc and feel super energized.

I am not one to waste ANY money, but I ran out of this stuff after 6 months (yes it lasted that long because I don’t take it every day…only on days that I feel lethargic or if I know I am going to be doing a longer/harder workout than normal.) and I will be buying it again.

Like Renae said “For me it’s awesome!” I agree. I would recommend it to try. See if any of your friends have some and ask to try it because it is a little pricey to buy a whole container to find out it is not for you!

Cheers.

I take N.O Explode 2 & I can tell you It does NOT feel like I just had a cup of coffee & an apple LOL…(I drink a lot of coffee)

It gives me a rush like a hypo feeling plus tingling to face and hands.. like a blood rush feeling. I definately get a great workout & push harder! The reviews of this product SHOULD always come from someone who has tried it & there are plenty.. Science is not always the best angle.. Sure some may not be as sensitive to it.. but for me it’s awsome!

In reply to Lhowe.

On Google Scholar, do a search for the titles of the studies I referenced here and then check the citations (“cited by…”) – usually they will provide a plethora of further reading on the subject.

Good luck on the thesis!

I’m thinking of writing my undergrad senior thesis on substituting expensive protein/nitric oxide supplements with natural food or less expensive supplementation (caffeine pills). Was just wondering if you used any particular scholarly journals for your review, or if you just have any advice on the topic. Thanks for any input!

In reply to Üllar.

I can understand where you are coming from, but me testing them on me would add little information, because if something works or works not for me could be down to dozens of things (changed training regime, an extra coffee before a workout, genetics etc.).

To truly test a supplement’s claim, you would need about forty people and form a test group and a control group. Both would have do the the same training and get the same nutrition, and only the first group gets the supplement as well.

It would, btw, for supplement manufacturers be rather easy to have a controlled test like that done, but apparently none are keen to have their products benchmarked that way.

I know it’s a bit of a stretch to ask you to basically be a human guinea pig, but I think trying some of the products out for yourself would give the review a bit more personal touch, and if it’s something worthwhile using then I, myself, might be more inclined to try it out.

Again, I’m not assuming you’re made of money and are willing to test every product out on yourself, but perhaps every now and then?
