Claims: Black Powder is the first and only pre-training matrix to employ the powerful NOS Up-regulating whey "peptide fraction" ACTINOS2, delivered with MRI's "Instant Release (IR) Technology. Now you get the over-whelming advantage of an Instant surge of 950% more nitric oxide, combined with the most scientifically potent pre-workout compounds delivered in ratios measured to precise gram-molecular specification. The Science: Driving Performance and Size to New Levels. Scientifically, nitric oxide forms the basis from both performance and size. Nitric Oxide dilates the blood channels that deliver vital training and recovery nutrients to your muscle cells. In addition, nitric oxide signals and regulates muscle growth, muscle contraction, and metabolic adaptation to training. Until now, nitric oxide had a "pre-set" limit. Not any longer. Thanks to MRI's innovative ACTINOS2 IR, Black Powder creates an immediate surge in nitric oxide levels, 950% higher than previously attainable. In an instant, Black Powder's performance/size nutrient complex floods your muscle cells in volumes we never believed possible. Your body's performance and growth signals amplify in intensity, starting at your first set! Your strength, intensity, and focus hit levels they've never known. Your recovery starts before you even leave the gym. That's why with Black Powder, you'll get the most outrageously intense workout of your life, and you'll have the super-dilated skin-ripping pumps to prove it!

I saw a lot of hype on this product so thought I would give it a shot as my local supp's store was having a sale. If you are not a big supplement taker than yes you will see results, but if you have tried others in the past don't waste your money and use what has worked. Far too many new products coming onto the scene to make claims that are just plain false. But to each thier own.

I used one scoop with 16 oz. of water..im a female and weigh 132. I had a vagal reaction to this product - passed out and had to be given meds to reverse the effect. My bp dropped 74/42 and my normal heartrate went up 30 points. I dont reccommend this for women. Or at least take 1/4 scoop and not a whole.

Black powder worked fantastic for me. I tried no explode, labrada supercharge, no shotgun and this beat them by far with pumps and energy... taste isnt the best but its performance 1st

I have just finished my first tub of this stuff and I haven't really been overly impressed like everyone else has... The pumps are ok and it's not like some crazy miracle powder that does all the things it says it will do. I do find that my recovery time was quicker but for the $$ it wasn't really worth it. I guess it works really well for some, but not really well for others. Perhaps I should have increased my dosage, but I didn't want to risk it since that would be A LOT of caffeine.

First-impression review: Warning if you don't drink caffeinated drinks: the label makes the exact amount of caffeine difficult to determine, but likely around 100-200mg, or 2-3 cups of coffee. Took one scoop at 5:20 PM yesterday, just before my work out -- I was up all night. Got an unexpected pump on my legs just from my 10 minute stationary-bike warm-up. I finished my usual workout about ten minutes early and had done about 6 extra sets throughout, so the product kept me speeding through the routine. My lifts were nothing out of the ordinary from my usual weekly progression when not using this supplement. I did not feel as exhausted as usual, though. The pumps were all pretty ordinary. Triceps might have been a shade fuller and harder than normal. No vascularity increase. Supplement does contain creatine. So far, I'm disappointed. I think for about $1.00, you could drink a diet Coke and take about 10 L-Arginine tablets and likely get the same effect.

I have tried many NO supplements with different results from each. My latest was NO Black Powder, and I have to say it was the WORST one I have tried to date. I didn't know when it was going to kick in, just kept waiting, and...nothing. I got a decent pump ONE day, but no added energy or anything. The last few days I was dosing 4 scoops at a time, and still nothing. I will stick with NO Xplode thanks.

i brought my black powder today. as soon as i tried it, i need to workout 5 mins later. i didn't know it would hit me that fast!. the taste is alright, and it helped me with more reps and etc. the only problem with this product is i went to the bathroom one time. and if you stop working out for a min you will lose the pump so you have to keep working out

Im a huge fan of NO supplements and this is by far the best there is. You get insane pumps and you just have all the energy you need to get up and go to the gym once you take this. I stack this with CE2 Hi Def and the results are fantastic! Get Black Powder NOW!

I tried black powder and no2 black after spending at least a year doing no explode and cell mass and I found that black powder and no2 black were not even close to being as good as no explode and cell mass. I actully decreased in my max on almost everything in the month that I tried black powder and no2. I never felt the black powder kick in on any of the times i used it for a month and i felt more fatigued after i used it. To anybody that is thinking about using it I would be careful because it obviously does not work the same way for everybody else and if you find something that you like i would not switch and try black powder and no2 cuzz of all the hype everyone has been saying about it

I am writing this review 1 and a half hours after drinking Black Powder. I work overnight at [] in Houston. Ten minutes after taking this, I am feeling amazing pumps and energy. I racked all of my loose dumbbells and free weights in about 25 minutes which is a personal record. I was extremely focused. Even now I am still feeling it working well. No fatigue at all. I did three sets of 10 reps of preacher curls on 150 pounds, 200 lbs of bench pressing same reps and sets, 280 lbs on chest fly and did 15 reps. Its definitely a product worth getting. Be ready to sweat.

I have tried both No Xplode and Black Powder. Black powder is wayyy stronger and more potent than Xplode. However, it gives me the jittery feeling which stays with me throughout the day even hours after i have worked out intensely (3 hours Weights/Cardio). I feel as though i wanna break something!! I never got that feeling with Xplode. Also, going through half the tubs for both of the products, your body would get "used" to it and the effects won't be as impressive as when your first tried them. I am still on the black powder but i lowered the dosage, which kinda helped with the jitters.

This product is great. I never really thought that an NO product would help that much, but after taking this i feel more energized and ready to workout. The pumps are amazing and my veins stick out like crazy. this is the first NO product that i have tried and i love it, the orange burst doesnt taste to bad either.

I just started using this, and it is by far better than nano vapor, superpump, and noxplode. The pump you get is amazing and there are no crashes or jitters. Even though its about 45-60 bucks(depending on where you go) its a better value than the others named above. ~work hard and stay of the juice~

I'm on my second container of Black Powder - I have tried it on an empty stomach and after eating -it works for me either way. I work out, play 9 player 90 foot base hardball in a very competative & demanding 48 and 55 and over league. I use black powder before workouts and my games - always - always - gives me energy and focus. Just try it.

I just started using this product, and I have to say it appears to work pretty well. I do not believe it is the placebo effect at all. I feel as if I can finish my 4th sets stronger with full, strong reps till the last one. Also, I have so much energy after a full workout for cardio, it's amazing. I will say this, it doesn't taste great. Also, take more than 4 hours before you plan on going to sleep. My first night I took it at 7:30, and could not fall asleep until around 2 AM, when I typically go to sleep around midnight.

i have been using mri's products for a long time mainly no2, then i swithed to no2 black, now i replaced no2 black with black powder and stack it with ce2 hi-def. I have been using black powder for about a year and it never fail to amaze me at how pumped i get during my weightlifting workouts and how easily i breath during my cardio workouts and sorness is not much of a factor either.the reason i stoped taking the no2 black was because black powder is way cheaper and gave me energy and just as good or even better pump than no2 black.i hope this helps.

I tried this after the fast twitch and believe this to be a superior product. Great focus and energy without the jitters. Love the single serving packets, tastes OK, a little like alka seltzer.

I take regular NO2. My buddy started taking NO2 black powder about 3-4 weeks ago. Well, while working, he was driving and had ans seizure and crashed his car. He was OK from the accident, no injury, but the ER doc stated he had an adverse reaction to the NO2 black powder because of certain ingreditents in it. Apparently, 5% of the population can be affected and it can cause seizures. Unfortunately, my buddy was one of them. Lift hard and just be careful.
