Just curous,..Has anybody been a long time user of this? I just started, and will find out soon enough how well it agrees with me, but the other day, I cruched up a dose and put it in with some BCAA powder, to sort of kill two birds, and noticed it didn't desolve very well at all,...

It's a solid formed pill, so I decided to put a pill in a glass of water to see how long it would take to desolve, and after setting on the counter for several hours, it was still in the form of a pill, only a small amount had begun to soften,...

What the heck? Am I wrong in thinking it should desolve much faster than that. I read something a while back when there was a question about a Multivitamin and it's ability to be absorbed. It was suggested to put the pill in a glass of water, and see if it was desolved, or how much of it was desolved in an hour. Is this a rule of thumb? One hour in a glass of water? Is it best to use a powder that desloves well in liquid?

Thanks all,..I don't want to waist time and money on things that aren't going to perform the way they should.

Did you want a powder form? Why didn't you just buy bulk powder ( http://www.bulknutrition.com/?products_id=1621 )?

Nitrix works pretty well. It's not my favorite NO product but I have several friends who prefer it over others.

I'd say stomach acids would have no problen dissolving that baby.

It's damn expensive though. I've just started this as well. I've tried other NO products in the past, but this has such hype about it i thought i'd go for it. Though the shop assistant told me porkies, he said the tub would last "about 2 months" I now realise it will only last 15 days. And seeming this cost me $85 (£45) I won't be buying anymore.:nope:

I figures stomach acids would get the job done if water alone didn't, but thought I would see what others have experienced. The reason I didn't get a powder right now, is I picked up the NoExplode at a local GNC, and it was going back, being my system just doesn't like it, and I thought I would give the Nitrix a go, as I had seen a few really good posts on it in my travels on the net, looking for other info,...

I thought it was very pricey, which is why I asked in a different thread, if there were really any significant differences from one brand to the next, as the base ingredients seem to be the same, and if creating your own was a good idea, as I have seen a few mention doing that.

It seems to be working fine for me so far. This is the first time using a No prodcut, and read that it takes a few days for it to really begin to get up to speed, but there seems to be no adverse side effects anyway,...

Thanks for the help, and of the link,...I have been getting some things from Bulk Nutrition, so that powder would be a convenient selection for me,..Thanks,...

Any chance chewing up the pills, then swallowing them would cause any issues? Kind of give them a helping hand at desolving,....;)

Given the troubles you say you have with some supps... follow the directions. You're giving too much concern over little things like this.

Hort,..

Ha! I thank you very much for your concern. I appreciate it very much,...On that note,..My system has really returned to normal,..Well, as normal as it gets for me. Actually, it's been better than usual the last few days. I may have figured out something pretty significant in relation to the short term over active digestive system. If anybody can relate, or know where I can confirm this, I would greatly appreciate a link,or direction to the info. I know I have read it somewhere, but earlier, was too stuborn to take note.

I'm type II Diabetic, but have things WAY!!, under control. I'm not obese, or even heavy, by any means. Not now that I have lost 35+ lbs over the last year, and put on a fair amount of lean muscle. I'm sure I have lost more weight in fat, and replaced it with an apropriate amount of muscle, as for the last few months, the miror tells me I'm getting more lean, but the scale stays the same. 160lbs-162lbs,...18 months ago, I was 197lbs, and hadn't worked out, or lifted for 25 years,..."Life happens".

Anyway,..I admit, I have a sweet tooth, and have struggled with not having the sweets. Not too bad, but it's not easy either,..so I had started using a number of different artificial sweeteners. What I had settled on was,..Stevia, which I still use a little. Splenda, and Saccarine. The others scare me too much to use to any degree.

What I read some place, was that artificial sweeteners sometimes creaye an unusual amount of "Gas". Well, I had been using them on everything. In my Oatmeal,"and I eat a LOT of Oatmeal", salads, Ice Tea, Sweet Potatos, Coffee when I had it, and on and on. If I had a soda, it would be diet of course, and would have an artificial sweetener it it as well,....

The byproduct was out of control!! I mean BAD!! Then it dawned on me that maybe there was some truth to the idea the sweetener was causing this, so I have stopped adding any sweetener to my foods lately, and things have settled down to a reasonable level,...Even the first day, made a difference, and by the second, things were considerably better. Almost like night and day difference.

So, I got my shipment of Cre-Ethyl hunder yesterday, and took the first 8 cap dose pre workout, knowing it had about half the caffeine the NoExplode has. All went well. I could feel the caffeine working, and the workout went well. It was shoulders day. It didn't seem to upset my gut, and I didn't have the 30 - 40 minute later, trip the the restroom. The buzz seemed to hang on quite a while after my workout however, so we'll see how it goes today,...Back day,..;) It's a big day for me.

I still believe the caffeine can be a cause of having to make a bee line to the restroom, but think maybe the artificial sweeteners tossed into the mix could have been a significant player in the problem as well,...I may give the NoExplode another try down the road. The thing with the Omega product is that it's like Cell Mass,and NoExplode rolled into one. More convenient.

Anybody have the problem with artificial sweeteners? I'm going to stick with the Stevia by itself for a while,a nd see how it goes. My Oatmeal just isn't the same without the "sweet".

Thanks all,...>>>--->
