 Ok, To start off this supp taste absolutely horrible. I've been told the more bitter it taste the better it is, because BCAA's taste that way, but Im not too sure there's enough in this to put the blame on that.
Be that as it may, I could not force myself to finish this tub. I gave it away after about half way through it.
I bought the blue raspberry flavor.
It has some good ingredients in it.
L-Citruline Mallate: basically an arninine
Yohimbe Bark: In short, an aphrodisiac, alkaloid, and a mild stimulant.
Grape Seed Extract: Helps regulate blood pressure and cardiovasular health.
Creatine Blend
Beware, this product is packed with Caffeine 400mg per serving.
There are too many other pre's out there that are more effective, and cost cheaper for me to recommend to anyone.

- Bad Taste

 This is the first pre-workout I've used so I don't have much to compare too. That being said this product works well for me. I had trouble with my energy levels during lifting. I tended to get tired about 45min to an hour into my workout. The N.O. Loaded gives me a non-jittery, energetic feeling that helps me finish out my workouts strong. I get a nice pump all the way through the workout. I have the grape flavor, and it's pretty good. I don't want to give it a 10 in all categories though because of my lack of experience with other pre-workouts, but this does everything it's supposed to for me.

 This is my first review so feel free to tell me how terrible i did haha.
When I first started taking it, I noticed a huge boost in energy and felt like lifting for hours on end. After about the first two weeks, however, that energy started to steadily decline. My tolerance was built up almost entirely after four weeks. There is a ton of caffeine, which may be the cause of the jitters I felt. I like some jitter because then I know it is working. I know that taste is the last thing you look for, but it was so chalky I could feel it in my teeth after I drank it. Also there were always a lot of white pebbles at the bottom of my shaker. I saw immediate jumps in strength but, as I said, that initial pump faded after the first few weeks. I felt the price was reasonable. All in all this is a decent product but I would recommend subbing it out after 4 weeks for tolerance sake.

 Before I tried this product I tried others 3/4 of a container at a time. All in this order; N.O. Explode, Ravage, N.O. Explode 2.0. I was looking for a perfect fix like the first time I tried N.O. Explode (minus the "issues" after you use it two days in a row). AMP Amplified N.O. loaded did it. High muscular energy, sustained pumps, awesome focus, and goes well with other supplements. Here's my trick. 1 1/2 hours before you work out take a high does of isolate whey protein on a EMPTY stomach. Figure out when your body took it all in (about one hour later average) then take your N.O. Loaded. Hit the gym 30 mins later. In your lifts stretch and warm up. You'll have a great pumps lasting after the lifts. Hit the protein again while your pumps are huge. yer set. You don't worry about the after affect like N.O. Explode, this supplement doesn't have one.

 I started taking the original GNC pwo around three years ago and loved the results. Then, AMP NO Loaded came out, so I had to try it. I was originally dubious of the high caffeine content, but after my first workout I was so driven to set pr's that I've used it off and on ever since! I have a high caffeine tolerance, so the 400mg is just right for my needs. I usually stack with Pro Performance beta-alanine for an additional boost over the proprietary blend. I would suggest taking one full container at a time, then switching to an ACG3 or 1MR in order to take a break from the caffeine. I have suggested no loaded for years now, and all who have tried it have either fallen in love or couldn't handle it and dropped like a fly. Its hardcore, but thats the way we like it!!

| ACG3 and 1MR wouldn't be taking a break from caffeine. They both contain a high amount as well. |

| Relative to no loaded, acg3 and 1mr are less potent as far as caffeine content. Each has about 3/4 the dose in their energy blend. Still high by most standards, but not so much less as to be ineffective. Keep in mind I'm speaking from a point of view of a guy with very high tolerance. |

| Got it. I kinda thought that's what you meant, but to someone unfamiliar with those two, taking a break sounds as if they don't contain caffeine. |

| I should have clarified that in my original review. I'm of the mind that caffeine usage is perfectly safe as long as you keep a close eye on your daily intake. And with the performance boost that comes along with its use, I figure it should always be included |

 I have had experience with several different NO products and feel like I've gone through just about every effect with them. They have ranged from great pumps, to upset stomachs, to bouncing off the walls with energy, to crashing mid-workout. Unfortunately Amp N.O. Loaded focuses on the upset stomach side of this spectrum.
Taste - The taste is not terrible, but the consistency of the mix leaves much to be desired. Chalky is the best word to describe it.
Side Effects - I had an Amp NO shot once which worked amazingly well for me so I assumed the mix would do the same. Unfortunately it leaves me with a terribly upset stomach. The pump is only ok.
There are better supplements out there in my opinion, but everyone is different. The price is good on this, but you get what you pay for.

 Well I bought this stuff at GNC and it was on clearance for 75% off. So I said what the heck lets try it out. Usually its like 50 + i!! Way over priced in my opinion for a pwo! Any ways I got it for a good deal, however it had like 2 months until was going to expire which was why it was so cheap. So I jumped on it right away.
First 2 weeks i only took half a scoop so I would get used to it, because one full scoop is like 400 mg of caffeine!! After the 2 weeks i took 1 full scoop. It mixxess like Crap! Its so chalky. Also it really does taste like crap literally sucks. The flavor i got was fruit punch incase u needed to know.
When i got to the gym i was focused and ready to lift that weight! I really liked the energy (due to high amounts of Caffeine) It was good Didnt really get a pump tho, just a ton of energy. Also a couple times i felt dizzy and my stomach was not reacting good with the product.
Overall its ok for a pwo. Only way i would recommend it to you is if its on clearance, other than that its still over priced during gold card week. If your good with caffeine check it out also. If your tolerance is low dont try it. Its pretty potent stuff.

 hey its finaswim again. i tried this product today and IT WAS AMAZING!!!!. ive never been able to do my underwaters so comfortably and with such energy (along with the rest of the swim.) after a two hour practice that felt like something to the taste of walking 10 minutes (NOT NORMAL) and we went on to dry land. After a quick warmup run, we sprinted 2 laps around an olympic track and i left 2nd place a quarter lap behind. Later we went on to 4 sets of lunges (20 ft per set) and i practically ran them, jerking at the end of the set. I HAVE NEVER HAD A RUSH LIKE THIS. But thing is,,, ive learned a few things.. (i didnt throw up btw: im 170 lbs 6ft 0". and i only took HALF A SERVING). ONE: the fda does not approve of any of GNC's amplified products, (only drugs are approved by the fda, not food supplements) and TWO: my friend who swims in college (im in my last year in highschool) informed me that two of his buddies got BANNED! i said BANNED for a year when urine tests came up saying they were positive for certain substances that got in their system while taking the GNC LINE OF AMP products. So in conclusion, I LOVED THIS PRODUCT, and i actually enjoyed the taste, and didnt throw up (only took half a serving), i noticed a significant improvement in power, especially in my legs. CONS: YOUR GOING TO GET BANNED IF YOUR TESTED FOR THIS PRODUCT IN YOUR SPORT (at least swimming) but if your not a competive athlete, then go ahead. its a trip and a half. P.S: no trouble sleeping. REMMEMBER IM ONLY RECOMMENDING THIS PRODUCT TO ATHLETES WHO DO NOTTTTTT COMPETE AND GET TESTED BECAUSE THIS WILL GET YOU BANNED. enjoy :3

| Hey, Im glad to hear that it worked out for you. As for the FDA/NCAA/Testing stuff, I am pretty sure that this stuffs banned ingredient is just caffiene, which has a half life of 7 hours so you would be fine. If you want to look into other supplements I would check out NO Explode, and Pump Fuel. Pump fuel is really pricey but its nice because of krealkalyn. Have Fun! |

| i traded it in for the new amplified endurance which only has proteins, carbohydrates, and amino acids just to get away from the extreme stuff like caffeine and creatine. after im done with this product i think ill get a hold of the n.o loaded blast again, helped alot, and during the summer we do twice a day practices everyday so it'll help lol. Yeah definately a great buy, taking it an hour and a half before practice and taking only half a serving made it worthwhile, and i didnt get any bad side effects like puking. mixed it in a quarter of a gallon in water if anyones interested, maybe that's what made it taste good, for me anyways |

 Taste: i bought grape flavor it was hard to drink down because the creatine had a chalky feeling to it ,made it very diffucult to drink ,always had a after taste which made gage
Mixibality: The creatine always stuck to the bottom of my shaker which made it hard to drink completly
Results:since this was my first pre workout when i began to workout i felt everything in this product it made me vascular gave me small pumps and nice energy the effetiveness didnt go away maybe because i just started out lifting and i was very light weight.(120 end of wrestling season) light headed and gave me a upset stomach. My lifts went up by 20lb by the end of the bottle and went down weight.
Overall: DONT BUY GNC PRODUCTS OVER PRICED AND NOT EFFECTIVE UNLESS YOU HAVE A LOW TOLERANCE

| Actually, I think this is one of their best products they have in the store, but you have to assess your tolerance. 400mg of caffeine might be a bit much for a light weight, lol. |
