with post-workout NO-Synthesize.
Also known as NO Shotgun V.3 or NO Shotgun MHF1
* Contains REDLINE & MELTDOWN’S powerful fat burning and energy technology for mind blowing intensity!
* GBB and MTB Pump (Magnesium Tanshinoate B) for Nitric Oxide induced skin splitting pumps.
* 40,000 milligrams of anabolic PROTEIN FRACTIONS in just one serving! No cheap dextrose or waxy maize fillers.
* With BCAA’s & Fractionated Protein Peptides for maximal muscle protein synthesis and nitrogen retention - to important markers of muscle growth!
* Fueled by Research proven PeptoPro and BPOV for maximum insulin secretion and insulin receptor site sensitivity. Insulin is the most anabolic of all hormones! No carbs, waxy maize starch or sugars needed.
* With COP™ (Creatinol-O-Phosphate) to enhance anaerobic glycolysis and CPT (di-Na Creatine PhosphateTetrahydrate) -- two designer creatines proven in VPX labs to be resistant to conversion to creatinine. This eliminates bloating and allows transport of intact COP and CPT into muscle tissue!
* Beta-Alanine is a hyper-performance ingredient patented to increase whole body creatine retention to crank out more sets and more muscle-blasting reps for increased lean mass!
* Satellite Cell Activators for maximal new Muscle Cell Division Hyperplasia! This means larger existing muscle fibers and spliting of these fibers to create totally new muscle.
* Arnold himself referred to “The Pump” as something “Better Then Sex!” It is “The Pump” that signals us hard training athletes lifting for size and definition that we are maximizing our efforts in the gym.
* NO-Shotgun fuels episodes of physical intensity to induce insane muscle pumps that can lead to muscle growth. The biochemical and physiological response to NO-Shotgun when combined with intense resistance training causes extra trauma to occur to trained muscle. Greater resistance to muscle results in significantly increased internal pressure (the pump)…And as you know, the better the pump the greater the trauma caused to muscle-tissue. The end result: increased ability to build larger muscle!
* NO-Shotgun is the most advanced product of its kind…Bar none! VPX is so confident in the effectiveness of NO-SHOTGUN that we have a $100,000 offer on the table to ANY supplement company that can conclusively prove – ina double-blind University Study – that their product is better at producing lean muscle, generating greater ATP production for more explosive workouts and initiating NO induced, blood engorged pumps.
* However, be your own scientist order NO-Shotgun today... Not to mention mind blowing workouts, skin bursting muscle pumps and massive increases in lean muscle tissue!
* What are you waiting for…Your Buddy to be the 1st to use NO-SHOTGUN???
Recommended Use:
Mix one scoop of NO-SHOTGUN with 10 ounces of water or your favorite beverage. Do not consume more than 1.5 scoops in one serving. NO-SHOTGUN can be used as a stand alone product or together along with ZERO IMPACT PROTEIN prior to any type of athletic event or resistance training. This NO-SHOTGUN supplement strategy should always be utilized 20 minutes prior to resistance training. Always consume an additional 12 ounces of water with each serving of NO-SHOTGUN.

If you’re truly hardcore and serious about adding slabs of thick, dense, striated muscle, you’ve probably tried every supplement imaginable. If you’re also like most, you’ve been burned when it came to the current crop of Nitric Oxide products on the market. Either they were proven scams in university studies like A-AKG-NO2 or they didn’t even include the ingredients that were listed on the label –evidenced recently by two of the leading brands in our industry getting busted with bogus ingredients! If you’re searching for skin-tearing pumps and mind blowing workouts, it’s time to step your game up with the NO Shotgun/ NO Synthesize stack. This stack contains super potent ingredients that other companies couldn’t use because of their lack of scientific sophistication. NO Shotgun and NO Synthesize are the absolute best pre-and-post workout supplements to ever be invented in VPX’s state of the art laboratories. Here are just a few revolutionary anabolic-boosting and cell-swelling ingredients that you’ll find in the next evolution of pre-and-post workout products – NO Shotgun and NO Synthesize:
1) COP™– Creatinol-O-Phosphate has been shown to have a positive effect on anaerobic glycolysis. By increasing anaerobic glycolysis during your workout, you’ll have the nuts to crank-out more sets and force out more muscle-blasting reps, bringing you closer to that freaky muscularity you’re after! Further COP™ is highly resistant to conversion to creatinine and is far more effective than creatine alkalyn in this regard. NO Shotgun and NO Synthesize is the only pre-and-post work-out stack that contains Creatinol-O-Phosphate. NO Shotgun and NO Synthesize have the anabolic agents to both crank up intensity and send your muscles through hell and back to become bigger, faster and stronger!
2) Di Sodium Creatine PhosphateTetrahydrate – is the other kick ass creatine compound stacked with COP™ and is another muscle maximizing compound of this potent “Double Barrell Stack! If you are serious about muscle-growth, you need to make sure you “bring it” every time you hit the gym. Every ball-busting rep of every set has to equal muscle growth and the only way to make sure you’re always kicking gluteus in the gym is to rely on the full spectrum of anabolic ingredients in NO Shotgun and NO Synthesize. The ingredients found in NO Shotgun and NO Synthesize will help make sure you’re crushing the weights during every session! And growing before, during and after your workouts!
3) BPOV – Bis Picolinato Oxo Vanadium is an extremely potent insulin-mimicking agent. Every bodybuilder knows that insulin is the most anabolic muscle-building hormone and for any product to even be considered a hardcore muscle-builder it has to include ingredients that increase insulin sensitivity. By forcing glycogen and other nutrients into your muscles, insulin makes sure that you remain in an anabolic state. NO Shotgun and NO Synthesize were developed to promote massive increases in insulin without the use of fat-inducing, high glycemic carbs! Look at the labels of the competition and compare. If they’re loaded with sugar – they’re crap! Sugar’s for candy, not for hardcore muscle-mass!
4) Beta-Alanine Ethyl Ester HCI is a hyper-performance ingredient that delays muscular fatigue, making sure you to squeeze in every single rep of every mass-infusing set ensuring that the very last fibers found deep within your muscles have been attacked in your workout and are primed for maximum growth. Add-in its ability to radically increase whole-body creatine retention and there is no wonder why this ingredient is found in this ultimate muscle-building, pre-and-post work-out Nitric Oxide stack!
5) PeptoPro®– Casein Protein Hydrolysates are absorbed rapidly into the body – quickly beginning the growth cycle post workout. After pounding your muscles set-after-set, it’s the post-workout recovery that is going to give you the insane muscle-growth you’re after. PeptoPro helps stimulate the insulin receptors forcing glycogen and the nutrients needed into the muscle for repair and growth. NO Shotgun and NO Synthesize have been specifically engineered to maximize insulin sensitivity – harnessing the power of this anabolic hormone, all without the need of high glycemic carbs!
6) GBB - Gamma-Butyrobetaine is absorbed well within the body while being transformed into L-carnitine. This is extremely valuable to the bodybuilder that is looking to keep within that anabolic, muscle-building zone because L-carnitine has been shown to elevate androgen receptor levels. Not only is this nitric-oxide stack going to help you get insane skin stretching pumps in the gym, it’ll help make sure you stay anabolic both before and after your workout.
While these ingredients are only a fraction of the best vascular-inducing, muscle-building ingredients found in NO Shotgun and NO Synthesize, once you experience the insane episodes of physical intensity, sets that seem like they can go on forever, and muscular pumps that are so powerful you’ll think your skin was ready to peel away, you’re going to wonder how you ever trained without this stack before.

Promotes MASSIVE increases in Insulin without High Glycemic Carbs!
