A potent pre-workout providing energy, focus, and pump for workouts, excellent for fitness and muscle gain. Contains supportive but not primary amounts of electrolytes.
BSN N.O.-Xplode Blue Raz is a popular pre-workout formulation that aims to deliver explosive energy, enhanced endurance, and mental focus for intense training sessions. It typically contains a blend of caffeine, creatine, beta-alanine, and nitric oxide precursors. Online reviews often praise its effectiveness in boosting workout performance, though some users report strong stimulant effects or mild paresthesia from beta-alanine. While it includes sodium and potassium (100mg and 200mg respectively), these electrolytes primarily play a supportive role in muscle function and hydration rather than comprehensive replenishment for heavy sweat losses. Its main contribution to 'General Health' and 'Heart Health' is through enabling consistent exercise, rather than direct physiological benefit from its ingredients.
- Provides a significant energy boost and enhanced focus for workouts.
- Aids in muscle pump and endurance, contributing to workout quality.
- Contains creatine, a well-researched ingredient for strength and power.
- Widely available and a long-standing popular choice in the pre-workout category.
- High stimulant content (caffeine) may lead to jitters, anxiety, or sleep disturbances for sensitive individuals.
- Potential for beta-alanine paresthesia (tingling sensation).
- Some artificial colors, flavors, and sweeteners may be present.
- Electrolyte content is supportive but not adequate for heavy sweat loss replenishment.

Categories
Potassium 70.0
At 200mg, the potassium content contributes to overall mineral balance and nerve function. It's a useful addition in a pre-workout to support performance, but it's not a primary source for significant potassium replenishment after heavy fluid loss.
Sodium 65.0
The 100mg of sodium provides minor support for muscle function and hydration during exercise. While beneficial, it is not a significant amount for full electrolyte replacement, especially during prolonged or high-intensity training where sweat losses are substantial.
