Each supplement product is a blend of ingredients. The database uses peer reviewed journal articles to rate the ingredients. These ratings are also used to rate how well products perform overall as well as on individual claims.

The supplement ingredients listed in table below are identified as affecting N.O.-Xplode's ability to improve recovery. The rating next to the ingredient describes the ingredient's ability to improve recovery. These ratings are averaged together and provide the product's overall ability to deliver on the same claim.

Ingredients Improve Recovery Rating
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) 2 out of 3
Sodium 2 out of 3
Creatine Monohydrate 1.8 out of 3
Taurine 2 out of 3
Citrulline Malate 1 out of 3
Product's Claim Effectiveness Rating 1.76 out of 3
