Before I get into my NoXide Review, be sure to click here to checkout this full review, daily journal entries, and videos to see whether or not NoXide is worth getting.
In this review, I want to talk to you about my experiences with NoXide, whether or not I think it is worth getting, and then, I'm also going to briefly discuss the benefits and the drawbacks of taking this supplement.
My Experiences with NoXide.
But I'm here to tell you that in my experience, I didn't see or feel any noticeable benefits after taking NoXide. On day 1, I felt the caffeine in the C4 kick in. On day 2, I forgot that I took the pill completely. Finally, on day 3, I felt just as alert as I do at the gym on any given day.
I don't want to completely ride this off yet. As I said above, I'm going to continue using NoXide, and if anything drastic happens, I'll be sure to update this page. From what the bottle says, you're supposed to see an increase in muscle size, strength, endurance, power output, and load capacity. As always though, if you don't have your diet and training right --- which I do --- none of this is going to happen anyway.
NoXide on Amazon.
I decided to buy NoXide on Amazon, as I do with all of the muscle building supplements that I purchase. Amazon is a good place to read reviews, see what is worth buying, and in my experience, has some of the lowest prices available.
You will also see that I've mentioned C4 and 5-Hour Energy below. In my experience, these two supplements both give me a feeling of alertness, and get me amped up. However, C4 gave me much more of an amped feeling than 5-hour energy. Nonetheless, if you don't want to buy pre-workouts, a simple cup of coffee will get the job done for many.
Is NoXide Worth Getting?
From my experiences thus far, I'd have to say that my results are inconclusive. Just because I'm not "feeling" NoXide working, doesn't mean it's not working. This pill contains creatine, as well as amino acids which all help you lift more weight, and recover more quickly from your workout --- Depending on what you believe. I believe in creatine, but I don't know if I'm a believer in any of the other ingredients, which include:
- L-Arginine AKG
- L-Citruline AKG
- Creatine Ethyl-Ester Malate
- L-Tyrosine
- L-Taurine
I discussed those ingredients a little more in detaily on my website. But for me, the one that sticks out is the creatine. Unfortunately, the amount of creatine in each serving (2 pills) is not mentioned on the bottle. Under the "% of Daily Value," there is a cross listed. It would be nice to know how much creatine was actually in each serving.
NoXide: The Good and the Bad.
The Good Points.
The main benefit that I can see is that NoXide has creatine. Creatine is and has been consistently proven to help guys build muscle, increase strength, and recover more quickly from their workouts.
Aside from creatine, there are amino acids, each which do different things. I'm not an amino acid expert, but from what I saw, they help to dilate blood vessels, and further support the delivery of nutrients to muscles for proper recovery. There are other benefits from taking these amino acids as well, but from what I could tell, the studies done are in variety. Some studies state that amino acids help to build muscle, while others state that there is no evidence that this is the case.
The Bad Points.
After doing all of the research, the ingredients listed will either have positive effects, or no effect at all. The fact that I didn't experience any noticeable change is bad. Then again, the fact that NoXide doesn't contain caffeine, could be why I didn't "feel" anything. That's honestly what almost all pre workouts are: Caffeine.
Do You Even Need Supplements?
I know this is a little off topic, but before you decide to buy or not buy Noxide, understand that you don't need supplements to build muscle. A good diet and training plan is all that is needed to make gains. That said, Protein, Creatine, and Caffeine can definitely help you. But it's not a make or break situation.
Again, buy food, and have a good training plan down before anything else. Once you've seen results from good diet and training, only then would I recommend looking into supplements. Otherwise, I feel like you'd just be looking for that miracle potion; And trust me, that just doesn't exist.
Is NoXide Worth Getting?
I've said it a number of times, and as with every other supplement that I review, I'm going to say it again; No supplement will help you build muscle better than a good Diet and Training plan. Without those 2 things, you could take all of the supplements in the world, and not see gains.
If you have your diet and training routine in order, and if you're looking for a cheap supplement to give you a boost, which may or may not be physically noticeable, then feel free to give NoXide a try. It's only $10, so if you do benefit from it, that's great. If not, then you're only out $10.
If you've decided that the bad points outweigh the good points, but you still want to get a supplement, I would look into C4. I did experience some itchiness post workout, from the C4, but this stuff got me noticeably amped. Again, this is probably due to the caffeine.
What Do You Think?
Now that you have my opinion on NoXide, and know a little bit more about it, I want to ask you, "What do you think?" Do you think NoXide is worth purchasing? Have you tried this supplement? If so, what did you experience? Benefits? Drawbacks? Side effects? Leave all of your comments and questions below.
