THE ADVANTAGE : 950% More Nitric Oxide – "Instant Release!"Black Powder is the first and only pre-training formula to employ thepowerful NOS Up-regulating whey "peptide fraction" ACTINOS2, delivered with MRI's "Instant Release" (IR) technology. Now you get the over-whelming advantage of an instant surge of 950% more nitric oxide, combined with the most scientifically potent pre-workout compounds delivered in ratiosmeasured to precise gram-molecular specification.†
THE SCIENCE : Driving Performance and Size to New Levels
Scientifically, nitric oxide forms the basis for both performance and size.Nitric oxide dilates the blood channels that deliver vital training and recoverynutrients to your muscle cells. In addition, nitric oxide signals and regulates muscle growth, muscle contraction, and metabolic adaptation to training. Until now, nitric oxide had a "pre-set" limit. Not any longer. Thanks to MRI'sinnovative ACTINOS2 IR, Black Powder creates an immediate surge in nitricoxide levels, 950% higher than previously attainable. In an instant, Black Powder's performance/size nutrient complex floods your muscle cells in volumes never believed possible. Your body's performance and growth signals amplify in both frequency and duration, starting at your first set! Your strength, intensity, and focus hit levels they've never known. Your recovery starts before you even leave the gym. That's why with Black Powder, you'll get the most outrageously intense workout of your life, and you'll have the super-dilated skin-ripping pumps to prove it!†

Nitric Oxide
Nitric Oxide- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Used for Amount Why Athletic Performance4 gram three times per day 
[2 stars] It has been speculated that AAKG may increase production of nitric oxide, a substance known to enhance blood flow. In one study, AAKG improved measures of strength and short-term power performance in weight lifters.Nitric oxide is the popular name for AAKG (arginine alpha-ketoglutarate), a compound made from the amino acid L-arginine and alpha-ketoglutarate, a substance formed in the body's energy-generating process. AAKG is a popular supplement among bodybuilders and other athletes because of claims that it increases production of nitric oxide in muscles. Nitric oxide is known to have blood-flow-enhancing effects,1 which could in theory increase the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to exercising muscle. While L-arginine by itself is known to increase nitric oxide production, no research has been done to show that AAKG does the same. However, double-blind trials of AAKG suggest it improves some measures of strength and power resulting from weight training.2, 3

Comments about MRI 1000574 MRI® Black Powder - Blue Raspberry:
I haven't had this but for a few days and I'll say I definitely think it helps with my focus. Haven't really had time to test as far as additional strength gains while using it, but for me personally the added focus is worth it...esp when comparing prices to other NO pre workout products

Comments about MRI 1000574 MRI® Black Powder - Blue Raspberry:
The instant foaming when you mix it is kind of annoying and I had to double up the dose for it to be effective. This is a very effective pre workout formula and I will continue to use it as part of the thermogenics that I use.

Comments about MRI 1000574 MRI® Black Powder - Blue Raspberry:

Comments about MRI 1000574 MRI® Black Powder - Blue Raspberry:
The n.o. levels in black powder are great. Every time I use black powder I get great pumps and solid muscle gains during workouts and after. The main reason I use this supplement is because I get great energy in my workouts and as I continue the cycle the product keeps giving me good affects. Compared to jacked, no xplode, among others they deteriorate over time. Black powder is consistent. My favorite flavor is fruit explosion. The blue raspberry is a little to sweet for me.

Comments about MRI 1000574 MRI® Black Powder - Blue Raspberry:
Black Powder boosts energy at extreme levels when lifting! It does not make you jittery like other pre-workout products or energy drinks. Gives you the extra pump needed when pushing it to the max. In my case, the targeted area was exploding with massive veins showing me the product was doing its job by increasing the blood-flow. Increases size and strength especially to the targeted areas. Black Powder gives stamina to keep going for a great workout. Black Powder is #1!

Comments about MRI 1000574 MRI® Black Powder - Blue Raspberry:
No matter which other pre-workout I try (and I've tried MANY over nearly two decades of lifting) I always come back to BLACK POWDER. It is a wonderful energy booster, pump extender, strength enhancer. And I don't know why people complain about the taste because I think it tastes GREAT! (skip the fruit explosion flavor, though; it's pretty nasty). Very reliable and does what it's supposed to. MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE!

Comments about MRI 1000574 MRI® Black Powder - Blue Raspberry:
I bought this after I did hours of research looking for a pre workout supplement. I like how it is telling me what I am taking and how many grams. Unlike all the other supplements with a 'proprietary blend'. After my first time taking Black Powder my arms exploded to mammoth proportions. I drink a ton of coffee and even then I still felt the energy! During even my cardio I was able to do A LOT more. I have noticed my arms stay big hours after and I am even gaining more muscle because Black Powder is infused with creatine.I am a college student majoring in Human Biology to be a fitness professional.
