I Am Interested In Learning More About Supplements And I Have Been Using Bsn Products Recently....what Are Or Is The Best Supplement Provider Out There?

No complaints here. I Used N.O. Xplode recently and liked it. I may take it again. It came with a couple samples of their protein Cellmass, and those tasted pretty good as well.

I have taken many BSN products in the past and I really liked the NO explode. Especially when you are lean and you become more vascular at the gym as you get pumped up. It also gives you a great kick in the ass!! I did take the cellmass for the longest time in conjunction with the NO but i must say that I didn't respond as I would have liked. I did realize though that when taking creatine products my body responded more evidently with products that were carb-based. I think it may be because I have a low tolerance for the glucose and my body seemed to absorb it better and produce noticeable results. To be honest though they are like everything in life and you won't know until you try it. It effects every body differently. As for the NO explode though if you want a good motivator try this stuff. The pumps are amazing and it makes you feel good to feel your muscle belly so pumped to bursting. Good luck bro'. It's long road full of satisfaction in the end.

I've tried a few. NO Explode was pretty good, but I discontinued use when I read about one of its ingredients (glycocyamine). I've replaced it with Gaspari Superpump250, which seems just as good.

Syntha6 is a decent protein powder blend. Probably not the best post-workout shake, but it seems good for morning/night. It mixed relatively well and the taste was on the better end. While a seemingly solid product, I discontinued using this because I thought that ON Pro Complex was a better blended protein.

Then we have Nitrix. I used a complete bottle of this and can't say I noticed anything. My muscles didn't feel pumped 24 hours a day. The downside to this product is two-fold. You have to take it on an empty stomach (30-45 min before eating or 1.5-2 hours after eating). This requirement didn't sit well with me since I usually eat a breakfast and gulp a shake right after I get dressed in the morning and before I go to sleep. There just didn't seem to be a very good time to take all of those pills spaced out a couple times per day. The other disadvantage is that (BSN says this right on the bottle) you must limit your glutamine intake while using the product. For some reason, glutamine (which can be found in most shakes besides BSN's own) cancels the efficacy of this supplement. I thought the trade-off was too great in this case; I think better gains would come from aminos. That's just my opinion. It may work wonders for you and you'll have that straight-from-the-gym pumped feeling all day.

i know a class action suit has been filed against BSN for claiming stuff is in their products that actually isnt. This suit focuses on Cell Mass, Nitrix, and N.O. xPlode claming to contain a form of special creatine and then it was found that they do not.
