Micronized nitric oxide formula. Volumizes Muscle Cells & Improves Strength. Micronized Arginine for Fast Absorption. Generates Increase in Muscle Power. Triggers Physical & Mental Intensity. Clinically Researched. Amplified N.O. Loaded™ - What's the 'pump' all about? Amplified N.O. Loaded™ is not your typical nitric oxide (N.O.) product - it intensifies your workout with faster N.O. activation, taking you above and beyond, pushing you to the next level. Scientifically engineered to include ingredients of the highest quality that, when combined, create a dynamic nitric oxide experience. During exercise when your muscles are hard at work, blood vessels expand and nitric oxide is released, allowing blood to surge throughout your body. As blood vessels expand, more blood carrying valuable nutrients surges to the muscles, delivering more nutrients to each muscle cell. When the muscles are able to receive more nutrients quicker, that is when you see outstanding performance. Arginine is a key ingredient in any N.O. formula, but we don't stop there. GNC's sports nutrition experts and scientific researchers have developed a formula combining arginine with additional N.O. potentiating ingredients to fuel your performance and boost your workouts! The Proof is in the Pump. In addition to our innovative technology, our skilled researchers incorporated clinically studied ingredients to give you the ultimate advantage. Clinically studied grape seed extract, MegaNatural®-BP™, acts as a hemodynamic endotheial modulator causing an increase in blood flow to the muscles. This grape seed extract activates nitric oxide synthase, which is the enzyme in the body that dilates blood vessels and ignites N.O. synthesis in the muscles. With an increased blood flow pumping to your muscles, more nutrients are delivered faster, and you will see increases in performance.

Listen if u want a huge pump and vascularity use superpump250 or NOvapor. If u want a lil' better focus, energy, and a mild pump w/zero side effetcs use this. No jitters. Used em all, I like sp250 the best, but this is what it is. Doesn't mix well, but overall mild gains with zero jitters and stomach issues.

My first impression as I dug a scoopful out of the tub was poor consistency. Poor consistency even as powder itself. And just like I expected, it didn't mix with the water. The powder dispersed into a chalky haze with little white pebbles that sank to the bottom of the glass. This liquid even looked like it tasted bad. The first sip of it was a foul, bitter excuse for fruit punch. I had to stir between sips because the powder stubbornly insisted on sinking to the bottom. When finishing the glass I had to tilt carefully as not to get a mouthful of the sludge on the bottom. Overall: Undrinkable! The effects were nowhere near the intensity of N.O. Xplode or Black Powder, needless to mention taste. Even if it worked better it would still not be worth the misery of drinking it. Stay away from ALL of GNC's "AMP" line. All of them are overpriced and taste terrible.

I tried this - once again on recommendation of the GNC rep - after already having tried NO Xplode and Black Powder with good effects. It is ok, but nowhere near as good as the other two in my opinion. First is the consistency. This product is not effervescent like others so it doesn't mix well to begin with. At the bottom, you find chunks of hard white stuff that is very bitter. The taste itself is OK but not great. I preferred the taste of NO Xplode (lemon) and Black Powder (blue raspberry) much more than this. As far as performance, AMP Loaded was equally mediocre. Some increase in focus and energy, but not like others. Sometimes, I barely felt anything. No extra pump. On the plus side, no jitters like NO Xplode and no immediately heading to the bathroom. I wouldn't say it was bad, and the price is better, but overall I would not recommend this over the others I have tried.

I was literally screaming out loud in my car on the way home from the gym when I tried this on leg day. Unbelievable pump, and I was able to push myself to the max! Extreme focus for the entire workout, and was able to push a WHOLE LOT more weight than normal, plus I was able to push myself 15-20% past my normal lactic acid tolerances. It was like the pain was in the background! As other reviewers noted, taste isn't super great, but this isn't a substitute for cherry cola, it's a supplement for bodybuilding for pete's sake. If all you care about is taste, go drink koolaid and eat ice cream. If you want your muscles to beg for mercy and to have tons of focus, then give N.O. Loaded a try. Bottom line, this product delivers imo.

When i first started working out a few years a go i had used NO Xplode and loved it! so when i really got back into working out again recently i went to GNC to get the normal stuff. The guy working there told me that this AMP stuff is just like Xplode, but better and cheaper. He Was wrong. Im sure he was just trying to push the product for the company but over all im not impressed. The taste the first few times is okay but now it makes me wanna throw up. I do like the boost of energy from the 400mg of caffeine in it but thats about it. Id way rather have Xplode for a pre work out vs this stuff. regardless of the price.

Like other reviewers I was encouraged to try this out from a GNC employee so I gave it a try. Fruit punch flavored, although it didn't taste like it and it didn't taste all that good anyway. The first few sips aren't too bad to swallow but when you get towards the bottom, it gets way too chalky and distasteful. No matter how much you shake it or use the springy mixing ball, it mixes quite badly. Results were average for me; it gave me some energy but pumps were minor at best. No side effects other than the bad taste, so it's not a complete disappointment. Price is a little too high as well. Overall though, if you can withstand the taste it's not that bad of a product but if you want a really good pre-workout product, try something else.

I've been using superpump 250 for about 3 months. I saw this on sale so i decided to give it a try since the guy at GNC assured me that I should switch because i'd get used to the formula. This sounded like sound logic, so i tried this product. First sip tasted ok, after that the mixture was chalky and left a film in my mouth. Ten minutes later I felt wired up, probably due to all the caffeine. I got to the gym and had some energy, but was very weak compared to all my gym visits prior to that day. After my normal post-workout shake I nearly threw up. I tried the supplement again the next day and the same thing. I am returning this product right now. If you want a high quality product go for labrada supercharge or superpump. I Used both of those with amazing results. Good Luck all

I bought and tried GNC's NO Loaded based on the GNC employee's recommendation and the fact that it was a few dollars cheaper than the other products I was considering; NO-Xplode, Black Powder, Vapor, etc. I didnt notice until I got home that the recommended dose, 1 scoop contains 400mg caffeine. Thats the equivalent of 4-5 cups of coffee. Deciding to give it a go anyway, I mixed it up as directed, and noticed that it mixes poorly and settles very quickly, making for a very nasty surprise at the end of the drink. It took about 45 minutes to start feeling the effects; it began with my ears heating up and my skin flushing. I started my workout, and did notice an intense focus, but not much of a difference in anything else. I wasnt able to do more reps or use higher weight on any exercise. After the workout, I was left with a pounding headache, and here it is, 6 hours later, and I'm still geeked on the caffeine. Honestly, try anything else before GNC's NO Loaded, and resort to this product after all other options are exhausted.

Ive taken pretty much every NO supplement on the market NO explode, nitrobolic, supercharged, NANO vapor, superpump 250 and so on. I have to say i was pleasantly surprised when i found how well this supplement worked. I had good energy bit the thing i noticed more then anything was I couldnt have been more focused. All i wanted to do was lift and my muscles definitley where not as fatigued as normal. Besides the fact it was only 30 dollars and i've only had to use one scoop everytime so far. Thats less then one dollar a serving and doesnt mess mu stomach up like taking 2-3 scoops of NO explode and superpump 250.

Used to use NO Xplode and NaNO Vapor, was talked into trying this by the lady at GNC. Wasn't expect much different but wow! this stuff had me feeling great. Almost done with my first cycle and it hasnt lost its effect. Also, I had to take 3 scoops of Xplode to get the same effect I get from 1 scoop of the loaded. Definitely worth a try if your looking for that extra boost in the gym
