NOX-CG or NO-EXPLODE ?
- Thread starter C-MayheM
- Start date
Eh, NOX-CG is a horrid product. NO-Xplode is a good pre-workout booster for the purpose of giving you some energy pre-workout and that's about it.
You could essentially take some tyrosine and caffeine and get the same buzz before you workout.
But really most people need to take the money they'd spend on these type of supplements and invest it in vitamins and food.

I wouldn't waste money on either.
NO2 is a useless supplement. Science has only proven that it bloats the muscles up, giving you a fake pump, for about 90-120 minutes.
No strength increase.
No actual mass increase.
Doesn't even help burn fat.
It DOES give you a major woody...so its good for that at least.
Otherwise, drink a cup of black coffee for an energy boost, and stick with creatine if you want something that'll help. (I think NO_Explode has some creatine in it)

I searched Tyrosine...
Tyrosine is a nonessential amino acid that is synthesized in the body from phenylalanine. As a building block for several important brain chemicals, tyrosine is needed to make epinephrine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine, all of which work to regulate mood. Deficiencies in tyrosine, therefore, have been associated with depression. Tyrosine also aids in the production of melanin (pigment responsible for hair and skin color) and in the function of organs in the body responsible for making and regulating hormones, including the adrenal, thryroid, and pituitary glands. Tyrosine is also involved in the synthesis of enkephalins, substances that have pain-relieving effects in the body.
Perhaps you can explain a little more how it is going to help give me a buzz. I take L-glutamine, is that sort of the same? Also I usually try to avoid caffiene when I can, so I use ginsing, should I just go for the caffiene?

I take power creatine monohydrate, Is that the same as creatine?
Also I think you read the topic wrong (you still awnsered some questions still floating in my head though) but both NOX-CG (Nitrous Oxide-Creatine-Glutamine) and NO-Explode are basically 1/3 creatine (which I found out today). And I currently take creatine monohydrate and glutamine, so now I just need to know what the nitrous oxide 1/3 of the formula does for you.
This is the breakdown of NOX-CG
Three Highly Absorbable Creatines
* Creatine Ethyl Ester
The esterification of substances will increase their lipopholic abilities, and thus, esterified creatine will use fat more efficiently to permeate the cell wall and exert its effects upon cellular function. This means, that the dosage requirements are lower, but the absorption of esterified creatine is increased.
* Creatine Alpha-Ketoglutarate
Because Creatine Alpha-Ketoglutarate is attached to the transport molecule AKG its absorption rate and bioavailability are greatly increased over regular creatine monohydrate.
* Tri-Creatine Malate
When malic acid and creatine monohydrate form the compound Tri-creatine malate, the resulting product is more water-soluble than regular creatine monohydrate, eliminates the possibility of gastric disruption, and is more efficient at efficaciously impacting the ATP cycle.
Three Unparalleled Nitric Oxide Boosters
* Arginine HCL
A special form of arginine that's been shown to cause massive increases in nitric oxide production, which dramatically increases blood flow and nutrient delivery.
* Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (A-AKG)
Boosts short term Nitric Oxide levels. Increased strength and markedly improved stamina can also be expected.
* Arginine Ketoisocaproate (A-KIC)
Combined with A-AKG the results may be classified into three categories: 1) the promotion of an extended muscle pump; 2) signaling muscle growth and speeding recovery; 3) increasing strength and stamina.
* Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (O-AKG)
Ornithine combined with AKG to help aid amino acid sythesis and protein availability.
Three Scientifically Advanced Glutamines
* L-Glutamine
Highly in demand throughout the body, it is used in the gut and immune system extensively to maintain optimal performance.
* N-Acetyl-L-Glutamine
The acetylated version of L-Glutamine is stable in water and metabolically efficient at delivering glutamine's biological effects over conventional Glutamine or Glutamine Peptides.
* Glutamine Alpha-Ketoglutarate
A glutamine precursor that efficiently bypasses the gut and has the ability to enter the muscle cell for superior absorption and cell volumization.
And from what I see NO-EXPLODE is basically the same breakdown, I was just not able to find a good as a list as the NOX-CG.
But what I am asking now is what is the nitrous oxide doing for your body when you take this?

Basically supps that combine NO2+Creatine+whatever are ALWAYS overpriced compared to buying the individual supps.
NO2 does nothing beneficial, don't waste money on it, period.
same with glutamine.
tyrosine is helpful for keeping your brain and nervous system happy. it helps prevent burnout...when you burnout you'll feel down...depressed, and you won't wanna workout. that's the body's way of getting you to take a rest so it can recover, both physically and mentally.
you won't feel it 30 mins after taking tyrosine...you just feel its effects over time. its subtle.
for the above reason, many 'fat burners' on the market contain tyrosine. it helps you keep going during a serious cutting phase.
