SCI-MX • X-PLODE Pre-Workout 300g • Tropical Flavour • 250mg Caffeine

​I've bought this a few times in the past after trying others; it seems I've returned again for good reason. ​The nitric oxide production in your body is noticeable—it's fair to say this would flood a donkey's endowment with blood, let alone a human's. ​Perhaps it's combined with my diet, but despite my high daily caffeine consumption and Xaggitin XL prescription, my blood pressure is exceptionally low. This definitely contributes to that by supporting nitric oxide and delivering blood to the muscles effectively, even alongside vasoconstrictors like caffeine and my prescription meds. ​My advice? Blue raspberry is the most palatable; try the others at your own peril. ​I don't feel overly tingly from this one either. You get a bit of a buzz going, but your ears don't feel like you're at a Middle Eastern barber's having your outer lobes blasted with white spirit and fire. ​For the price, it's well worth a try. It's one of the only pre-workouts under £20 that actually gives you a clinical dose of citrulline malate (6g / 6,000mg), beta-alanine (3.2g / 3,200mg), caffeine (250mg), and black pepper extract (5mg). You may be looking for a decent dose of creatine too, but at 0mg, you're better off adding your own or buying a more expensive pre-workout. While they taste belting, options like the AN Body Fuel ones aren't high-dosage (even with all of the above, their creatine content is horsey poopoo). ​I rate this, especially at under £13. To note too, it doesn't make you feel like you're going to untether the contents ofyour your entire gastrointestinal system into your Calvin Clankers either during, immediately after, or during your working day. Not to brag either (though it is a bit of a show off), but I workout 6 days a week combined with 3 runs and 3 rides - it helps, and I am 37 too (not a spring chicken). Often, I mix it with rehydration salts (I have adrenal insufficiency too so they're necessary and XPLODE doesn't interfere with that thankfully), and 6-8g of creatine which is added from whichever monohydrate I find on offer. Mixes pretty well to be honest. It's hard for me to say just how long this lasts, I take lot of medication that is a bit stronger 😂

Thought i would try a pre workout powder and I’m surprised that since using over the past month my results in the gym have been increasing no matter what I’ve been lifting. The powder mixes really well and taste nice also you do get a bit of a tingling sensation but its only shortly after consuming and soon goes away . Will definitely purchase again.

Cheapish and does the job

I have tried many Pre-Workout powders, some dont tast too great, some do, this one is nice, look forward to getting up early and having this before my workouts, it gets me going and helps me through my workouts.

A friend sent me a link as this was only £7 and wow it works I personally feel really good with this pre bit tangy/sour tasting but it’s gone in one or two Shots does seems a nice strength and values for money

I reviewed this item after using it a few times, & at 1st, I thought it was brilliant. It does what it says on the tin, BUT, after using it for a few weeks, I had a MAJOR breakout of spots! At 1st, I didn't even think it could be down to using this, so I tried everything to get rid of them. Confused (as i usually have clear skin), I changed my whole skin care routine, changed the food I was eating, started taking probiotic tablets, stopped all sugar, etc, but they just kept getting worse. In the end, I googled if it could be caused by Creatine, answer 'No', then asked about Pre-workout powder. The answer was a resounding 'Yes!' Maybe I should have looked into the side effects 1st maybe, my bad, but I had used a different pre-workout powder before & had no problems. In short, if you are prone to breakouts, DO NOT use this powder. I now only use Creatine & just sheer will power! Best way, I've learnt.

Flavour is literally awful but it gives you a good level of energy pre workout and the buzz lasts usually around an hour which works out well for the workouts I do currently

Awesome
