Question, anyone see any issues/causes for concern with taking:
-creatine mono
-whey
-nitrix (bsn brand of nitric oxide)
-no-xplode

The top two I currently take (whey and creatine), the bottom two I was going to try for a bottle's worth of product in addition to my current program. It sounds like nitrix performs some things similar to creatine, so thats where my real concern is - if its too much of a good thing. I figured I'd try both bsn products at once or wouldn't try either.

Thanks!

That sounds fine to do. No-xplode doesn't have that much creatine in it, so the mono would be fine.

nitrix and no-xplode seem a bit redundant so perhaps you can lower your dose of each. Otherwise there shouldn't be anything wrong with combining all those supps.

I don't really see anything harmful if thats what your asking.

I would be selective with my NO-Explode because of the massive stimulant effect (caffiene).

What do you mean selective - do you mean only use it before workouts? (thats what I do) If I don't train on a day I don't use it, at least thats my plan while I trial the two products.

That was my main question, if anything was eyebrow raising about it. I found lots of info about the separate products themselves, but not a lot on the mixing/interactions of them. I thought it should be a fairily safe combo, just wanted to put it out there. Thank you!

Exactly before workouts is perfect for explode...I will have a glass occasionally on off days in substitute for coffee or half dose if I feel like I need a pick-me-up.

I won't be finishing the bottle of nitrix. I had a couple drinks two evenings ago, and I suddenly could feel veins throbbing in my head and felt like I would pass out any moment. Once that passed (20 min later) I drove home - totally sober/unbuzzed. I didn't take any the next day, but the day after that I decided to give it another try in the morning on an empty stomach. About lunch time that day I again felt the throbbing, no alcohol to blame this time, and on both occassions I had been drinking water regularly.

Feeling veins pulsing in your head is uncool... so that supplement is not for me. I will say that I had started to notice differences/benefits from it, but those were uncool side affects! Thats my experience for what its worth.
