I'm concerned because I was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse after a few months of taking Atro-phex, and I wonder if there's a link.

I noticed it gave me energy but also crazy heart palpitations when I'd work out. I remember when Fen-phen was found to cause heart valve damage, and I wonder if the fat-burning component of Atro-phex could do this by a similar process.

I want to know if anyone else has had a similar experience.

I'm glad I found this site. I actually just purchased Atro-phex 2 days ago. I haven't noticed any of the side affects I keep reading about. I drink tons of water so I'm not worried about headaches but I have read you must eat something around 30 minutes after taking the pill.

But since BSN makes N.O. Explode and that works so well for me, I thought I'd give this product a try also. I really appreciate how I do not crash after taking their products. I'm 5'10' 205 lbs. with a goal to reach 185 lbs. The trend seems to be 2 pills 2x daily. I hope that combination works for me.

I take a pill in the morning and then again another pill around 5pm (after work or before the gym) and I always have 1.5 scoops of No Explode before lifting. Should I not mix these two together (Atro-Phex and N.O.Explode) before I start my work out?

Editor's Comments: Personally, I would not. N.O.Xplode (reviewed in full here!) contains a TON of caffeine and other xanthines. Combining the two will provide you with a super high dose of stimulants, which is not necessarily a good thing.

I tested Atro-Phex vs Lipodrene for a 4 week cycle for each product maintaining the same calorie protein (1800/165g) intake daily and using the same workout for both tests.

Test start was with the Atro:

Caliper BF: 13.5%
5' 10.3" tall
168lbs

After 4 weeks i had dropped down to 11.3% bf and 162 pounds.

I wanted to follow up with 4 weeks of the Lipo to see if my fat continued down, stayed the same, or went up.

I felt the Lipo controlled my appetite much better then Atro Phex. Both give you some type of energy boost though. The Atro seemed more intense, but I was taking 8 pills a day vs 1 Lipo.

After 4 weeks on Lipo my BF was 10.1%... and I weighed 158 pounds.

I think it's safe to say in my case, both worked well for me. I think overall, the Lipo was best because of the cost and the fact I only took 2 pills per day vs the 8 I was taking with the Atro-Phex.

Well...I trust BSN a lot too. I think No-explode and Syntha-6 are very good for my body, so I use them everyday.

But, especially about atro-phex, I'm not able to have belief in the product. Cause, after using this product, I feel tired so much, and have some trouble with my blood pressure.

Of course, I don't wanna think that this product has some clinical defects, but in my case, this is not so good.

I'm only using Atro-Phex when I'm not working out. I work 12-13 hour shifts, so I take it at work mostly so I'm not eating all the time.

I use NO EXPLODE before workouts. Should I be taking Atro Phex before a work out?

Editor's comments: Definitely do NOT combine Atro-Phex with NO-Xplode, as its energy matrix contains a ton of caffeine and other stimulants. We'd recommend you continue using these two products exactly as you are! (click here for a full review of NO-Xplode on UltimateFatBurner.com).

Just started using Atro-Phex 3 days ago, right from the get go I noticed a difference in the Intensity of my workouts. Also, noticed the diuretic affect.

I've bought BSN products before and always had good experiences with them.

So I finished a bulk-up phase recently with 10% bf I've been on Atro for about a month and have had some amazing results.

Starting - 5 '10 168lbs. After one month 162, a loss of 6 lbs.

Of course some of the results came from HIT (high intensity training) and weight training, but I have lost about 6 pounds. Some of it water of course, but bodyfat is now 7%(caliper measurements).

I've had great results so far, though I've had a few side effects such as headaches and an irritated stomach. Overall I would recommend this to any body builder looking to maintain muscle and get cut.

I'm not out of shape at all -- I'm 6 percent body-fat. I have taken atro-phex for a week and saw results in the first 3 days.

I trust BSN a lot, and I think this is a good product because it has worked well with my body chemistry. It may differ from person to person so I can say it works well for me but maybe it won't work well on other buyers and users.

In my opinion its worked better than the other weight-management/dietary supplements that I have taken, and I have taken Xyience, and Hydroxycut -- the original and the hardcore.
