Stimulant Content
BSN N.O.-Xplode contains a number of ingredients that may increase your energy levels. Among them are caffeine and the amino acids tyrosine and taurine. Although this combination may help make you more alert, research from the November 2006 issue of "Amino Acids" found that combining caffeine and taurine can significantly increase your blood pressure.
Vitamin Content
N.O.-Xplode is not rich in many vitamins, but it does contain 2,000 percent of the daily recommended amount of vitamin B12 and 1,250 percent of the daily recommended intake of vitamin B6. Although deficiencies in B vitamins may cause weakness and fatigue, the National Institutes of Health explains that consuming extra vitamin B will not promote athletic benefits if you are not deficient in the nutrient.
