NO-Xplode is a nitric oxide and creatine supplement with 0 grams of protein.

I'm actually going to disagree here. I've used NO Xplode for the past few months in anticipation of the coming collegiate racing season, and I looked into the different types of creatine present in NO Xplode. The type they use, (I believe creatine ethyl esterate or something close to this) is different from basic creatine you would use for body building. There is one gram of the stuff in NO xplode, which is completely metabolized by the end of a workout, yielding no adverse effects from having additional water in your muscles. I called the company and asked why they would have it in there at all, since I didn't want to gain weight either, and the rep said that since it gets absorbed almost instantly, the purpose of the creatine in NO xplode was to give the muscles a little extra creatine to help in the anerobic zone. Granted this is the company talking about their own suppliment, but if you check out the scientific papers, they pretty much back up their claims too.daveryanwyoming said:NO-Xplode is a nitric oxide and creatine supplement with 0 grams of protein.

Some folks have had great results with Nitric Oxide and creatine can help for short explosive efforts like body building and track sprints. But creatine can also lead to retaining water and the weight associated with it so many endurance cyclists stay away from creatine at least during the cycling season.
