Xtend has 0 calories, 0 carbs and 0 sugar. Choose a 30 serve tub or a 90 serve tub, in 10 flavours. Why choose Xtend BCAA Xtend Original is Scivation's flagship intra-workout, built to support hydration, endurance and muscle recovery while you train. Every scoop delivers 7 grams of ferment-derived branched-chain amino acids in the research-backed 2:1:1 ratio of leucine to isoleucine to valine. Alongside the BCAAs, 2.5 grams of glutamine and 1 gram of citrulline malate help buffer fatigue and speed up nutrient delivery to your working muscles. A balanced electrolyte blend with sodium and potassium replaces the minerals you lose through sweat, helping you stay properly hydrated and cramp-free when sessions run long. Xtend Original is made without sugar, carbohydrates or calories, and mixes into a clear, lightly flavoured drink you can sip all workout long without breaks. That clean profile makes Xtend easy to stack with any pre-workout, or to drink alone. You get steady amino acid support and sustained energy, so you can push harder and recover faster. What Xtend BCAA helps with Recovery: 7 g of BCAAs and 2.5 g of L-glutamine per scoop to support muscle recovery after hard training. Hydration: 220 mg of sodium and 190 mg of potassium per scoop to help replace what you lose in sweat. Endurance: citrulline malate supports blood flow to working muscles in long sessions. Drinking more water: a zero-calorie, flavoured drink that makes long sessions and hot days easier.

The colours change by flavour. The panel on this page lists FD&C Blue Lake #1 and FD&C Red #40. What are BCAAs? BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids) are three of the nine essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine. Your body can't make essential amino acids, so they have to come from food or supplements. Leucine is the one most linked to muscle building, which is why Xtend uses twice as much leucine as the other two (the 2:1:1 ratio). If you already eat plenty of protein, a BCAA drink is mostly a tasty way to get extra aminos and electrolytes while you train. BCAA vs EAA: which should you choose? BCAAs are 3 amino acids. EAAs (essential amino acids) are all 9, including the 3 BCAAs. An EAA product gives you the full set your body needs to build muscle. A BCAA product like Xtend focuses on the 3 BCAAs and adds glutamine, citrulline and electrolytes for training. Pick Xtend if you love the flavours and want a zero-calorie drink during training. Pick an EAA such as Faction Labs Core 9 EAA + BCAA or our own Recov-10 Amino if you want all 9 essential amino acids. 10 flavours Blue Raspberry Ice, Glacial Grape, Italian Blood Orange, Knockout Fruit Punch, Lemon Lime Squeeze, Mango Madness, Smash Apple, Strawberry Kiwi Splash and Watermelon Explosion come in both sizes. Tropic Thunder comes in the 90 serve tub only. Blue Raspberry Ice and Glacial Grape are the sweet, lolly-style picks. Lemon Lime Squeeze and Smash Apple are the tangy, refreshing ones.

Sizes and value 30 serve tub: $59.95, about $2.00 a serve. A good way to try a flavour. 90 serve tub: $129.95, about $1.44 a serve. The best value, and lasts about 6 weeks at the suggested 2 scoops a day. How to take Xtend Mix 1 scoop (13.5 g) with 295 to 415 ml of water and shake well. Add more or less water to suit your taste. Training days: 1 scoop during your workout and 1 scoop after. Rest days: 2 scoops spread through the day. Scivation suggests 2 scoops a day for best results. Many people also add a scoop to a big bottle of water and sip the drink through the day. Who should take Xtend? Xtend is a good fit for lifters, runners, cyclists and team sport players who train hard or long, people who sweat a lot, and anyone who wants a zero-sugar drink to sip in the gym instead of plain water. Xtend has no caffeine, so you can drink Xtend at night or stack Xtend with a pre-workout. Side effects and who should avoid Xtend Most people have no problems with BCAAs at the label dose. Some people notice an upset stomach if they drink a strong mix too fast, so use the full amount of water. The label says Xtend is for healthy adults 18 and over. Do not use Xtend if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you take medication or have a medical condition, ask your doctor first. Stop 2 weeks before surgery.
