CAUTION
1.0 of 5.0
Please use extreme caution when taking this product or any other nitric oxide booster supplements. I had been taking Black Powder for alomost a year and can attest to incredible muscle and strength gains. However, I just got out of the hospital after having a carotid artery dissection which I believe occurred during a weightlifting workout (prior to which I had taken a normal dose of Black Powder). As is typical with an aortic dissection, a blood clot formed at the artery wall tear site, which then led to stroke…. landing me first in the ER, where I almost died, and then the ICU for five days where I was periodically on a ventilator. Because this product’s main feature is to cause vasodilation for improving blood flow to the muscles during your workout, anyone taking or considering taking it should be aware of the conclusions from a study by the American Heart Association, located at the following webpage(you will probably need to cut and paste it into your browser): http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/produkte.asp?Aktion=ShowAbstract&ProduktNr=223832&Ausgabe=232050&ArtikelNr=94530
Best i have ever taken!
5.0 of 5.0
I have used many pre-workout supplements, and this is by far the best. Nothing compares to this at all. I can lift forever and I have so much energy. I worked out the other day with out taking this, and i was pathetic. I had no energy at all. This product gave my muscles the biggest pump ever! Definately will buy again!!

I have been using BP off and on for about a year now. I cycled on for three months and down for one. This pre-workout drink makes me want to lift for at least 2 hours, and after the workout I’m focus for the rest of the day! Its a must try product. The only negative things about this product are: drink tons of water! and don’t take it at night!
BP is for real
5.0 of 5.0
WOW! The first week on BP I was taking one scoop in the morning before my workout. My routine is all free weights moving from Deadlift, Bench Press and squats. The energy was great and I found myself in the zone. I was adding more weight and getting stronger and lowering my BMI at the same time. I take it on an empty stomach at least 10 min before i start training. After training I eat breakfast and then go to work and I am focused all day.
AWESOME

I have been lifting for about 5 years now and im a junior in high school and this is by far the best pre workout product i have ever used. it helps me focus, recover faster, gives me insane lifting ability with more reps and sets with extremly larger weight and it doesnt make you crash of give you the jitters like you just drank a pot of coffee. my bench has gone from an average 270 to 305 in just a week! i would deffinatly recomend this product to anybody who is injured and trying to get there strength back of just trying to get stronger results in a short amount of time. i wouldnt recomend anything from the BSN products like syntha 6 or N.O. explode because of the price and deffinatly the cholestrol they give you. this stuff is truely like a miracle

I’ve been lifting for about 4 years now, tried many NO supps, namely NO-Xplode and Nano Vapor. And in my opinion BP surpasses the other NO products by leaps and bounds, Nano is my opinion is garbage and while NO-Xplode WILL give you huge pumps it’s effectiveness wears off quickly and you need to start taking more and more which turns you into a jittery mess for the rest of the day. I work long hours in construction and BP give me the energy I need to drag my ass to the gym at the end of the day and I have no problem sleeping after I take it. Gives you the pumps you’d expect from Xplode without any of the outta control heart after math, also in two months of using this product I’ve never experienced any gut rot. Definitely a top notch supp!
Black Powder IS a need to try!
5.0 of 5.0
So far ive taken over 10 pre workout suppliments in the past two years, NO Xplode, Horsepower, NanoVap and none of them even compare to Black Powder. The pumps and stamina is much more explosive than with any other supp ive ever taken. Best part is no upset stomach and I’m already a tub in and my tollerance is still very high so I havnt had to switch products yet. If you havnt tried this one you really need to!
Impressive

I’m typically not a fan of supplmentts. I’ve never had much luck with any supplement, except protein shakes and just eating right. My buddy, who has about the same luck with supp’s as me, got a tip from a very reliable source at our gym that Black Powder was the best supp he had ever taken. So me and buddy decided to grab some up. On the first workout we noticed a difference. We weren’t sure if it was a placebo effect or not, but we had a ton of energy and good pump at the end. After a 6 week cycle i can say it is the first supplements that ACTUALLY works for me. After my off cycle we will both be getting back on on it. CAN’T WAIT!
Great Product
5.0 of 5.0
I have used black powder about a month now(not working out EVERY day). First of all this product taste great and is fast working. They say to take it on an empty stomach and i eat lunch at 12 and i wait till 4 to take it. With in 15-20 minutes i start to feel it, your veins will pop out and your arms feel like their about to explode. I’ve noticed great improvment in stamina while using bp and you definetly dont get tired during a work out you want to keep lifting. My stomach has never got upset from it and never had any side effects at all and im a begginer lifter. I would suggest this product to anyone who is looking for a boostin the gym and looking to be focused.

This product is my favorite i have lifted for 5 years now and have never gotten this big and good of a pump. I highly recommend this supplement to anyone who loves to have a good work out!
great pumps at first
4.0 of 5.0
great supplement, i never felt the same pumps i was getting a week ago. i recommend taking it only on days you dont feel like training. have to have a low tolerance to get the same pump every time .. go with this or bsn
better than vapor
5.0 of 5.0
this has got to be the best no product i’ve ever been on. I took nano-vapor which just made my skin rash and tingle and my heart beat out of my chest. while vapor did make me a little stronger, this stuff kills it and everything else i’ve taken. doesn’t make me shaky or out of breath, there is just always a little extra intensity there when i struggle a bit with a weight. the strength is ridiculous, i shouldn’t be lifting what i am at 179 lbs. recommend 100% for a pre-workout supp.
Worth a try!

1st off, try the single serving packets first, see if it works for you so you don’t end up buying a whole tub. I’m 37, been active my whole life and been working out serious for about 2 years and tried all the NO products out there. X-Plode – great at first but by the end of the tub, I needed 2-3 scoops just to get a small pump and made me feel real jittery. Same with SuperPump 250. And all Shotgun did was make me sweat more and feel real sick/funky in my stomach. So, I tried B.P. and was very impressed! Been on it for 2 months, just bought another tub. Great workouts, better pumps and size gains. Now, you don’t get that “rage” intensity with B.P that you do with Xplode or SuperPump, where you feel like you can punch thru walls, but with B.P. you do get focus, energy, endurance and motivation. A good “pick-me-up” if you’re tired before a workout. No jitters. And for me, no crash afterward. Stomach may feel funny (but not jacked up) for a week or two to get used to it, then no problems. Everyone is different but if you’ve tried the other NO’s out there with the same results as me, try B.P!
No to NO BP
2.0 of 5.0
I hate to review a product that I have not used for more than a week but when using pre workout formulas I feel that it does not take much time to know if it either works or does not. I have been using NO supplements since they came out in pill form. Ever since then, I have mainly used NO Explode. There are definitive results and the energy I receive from it is amazing. However, I cannot take it anymore due to heart palpations I feel derive from it, as well as extreme anxiety. So I gave the NO one last shot with Black Powder, and after 3 uses I must say I did not feel any more energy than I would without taking it, the pump was a normal pump off of a natural work out and worst of all, the crashing effects (not as extreme) were still present. My suggestion, say no to NO Black Powder~
Worked very well, for a while

Black powder was the first pre workout supplement I tried and I really did feel its effects. The only problem was, was that after about a week of using it I wasnt feeling the same pump anymore. I think for beginners or people who dont want to push the limit every single time they hit the gym, it is the perfect supplement.
Great Product, Funny stomach.
4.0 of 5.0
Just starting using this product the same day I upped my weight for several of my workouts (benchpress, bicep/lat curls, dead lift etc..) and I was able to do the same amount of reps as with less weight. I didn’t get any explosion of energy, but that may be due to the fact that I was still a little full from breakfast and it took the BP longer to get into my system. I did get a funky kind of sick feeling in my stomach as well, similar to when I tried BodyFortress whey protein powder. I believe it is the taurine that does it but I am not positive. I heard the feeling will go away after a while so hopefully it will…
Amazing Product!
5.0 of 5.0
I tried this product a few days ago, and overall, N.O. Black Powder is the most amazing Pre-training supp I’ve ever tried. It’s not as intense as NO Explode (Hence the lower ratings from people that routinely take NO Explode), but I didn’t feel as jittery, I was EXTREMELY focused and the feeling lasted longer. The first day it gave me a small stomach ache, but today I felt great. Yesterday was my first day of lifting in about two weeks, it was a full body bench/squat and all that in between, so I was kinda out of the swing of things, but the Black Powder made me feel like I could squat all the weight I could put on the bar. I was just as strong, if not sightly stronger, as I was two weeks ago! I woke up really sore the next day. Today was a speed day, but in my lifting class I have during school I benched for the second day in a row and did some fies and tris, and I actually performed on the bench even better than yesterday! This stuff is amazing! Finally, the pump I got from the BP was HUGE. After my first set I’d have a good sized pump, and after 4 or 5 my muscles felt like they were going to rip through my skin! It’s a wonderful product, and I’d recommend it to anyone. But if you take NO Explode or anything that damaging, don’t expect the same effects. Oh, and I was told to cycle with it so your body doesn’t get used to it. Like a month on, a month or so off. Overall, it’s a great product with great results, and no crash. Even for someone like me who’s sensitive to stimulants like that.

The whole line of MRI products work well in conjunction with eachother. I currently work for a GNC and have had some great results with these products. The newest to their line of nutritional supplements is HSP Active. Another Home Run product. I’ve tried a lot of different supplements and there are a lot of legit companies making products that work well. Consistently, MRI is among the best.
OMG -Amazing

What can i say,Well im new to taking supplements,i teach and train in kickboxing,and im 40 this year,so im needing a little help from time to time to recover and to give me that boost,i took black powder for the first time last night,had a open mind,and then it kicked in,it felt strange at first because i waited a little longer then i should to start working out i did feel a little light headed,but i think i got the mix wrong,too much powder not enough water,hey we all learn from our mistakes,but once i got going that went and the training got better and felt really good,mind you the only down side is that coz i worked harder and this morning an old injury and come back,so be careful guys coz you train hard and know your limits on this stuff you forget about it,but overall a pretty good product,worth a go,
Good…at first.

I’ve been using black powder for about 6 months now, and plan on stopping once I run out… The first couple weeks were amazing, I didn’t get weight gains, but I could rep all day, and I could run forever. At this point though, I just feel jittery after taking it, and don’t notice any gains. I would find someone who has it and buy a little off of them and take it only on days you want to max-out, cause the effects definitely wear out if you take it often.

Everyone is different

Of course every person is different you may experience bad things or you may experience insane gains. Regardless of your status this is a product that definitely deserves a try. In my opinion both NO Xplode and this product are of equal caliber but i feel more pumped after this. I understand that some people claim they get heart palpitations, and this is actually very common. Although it is not dangerous it is pretty annoying so I personally recommend to stop using if it occurs. It does occur occasionally to me however, but the positive outweighs the negative to me. I highly Recommend!

Just got some recently after using no vapor on and off for a couple years. This is definitely more controlled than no vapor and doesnt leave you dead at the end of workouts. Best thing i would say is it gives you an overall good feeling and an edge so basically the “intensity” it claims is easily the most noticeable to me. I use one scoop which is different then with no vapor when i was always trying to switch up the amounts looking for the perfect amount. Overall this is a go no and ive been looking for the best one for a basketball player so far im impressed with this.
