Customer Reviews: Xtend (90 servings) by Scivation
Tasty By: TylerReview posted on: Mon Nov 16 02:24:38 -0500 2009 I have tried watermelon and apple, and they are both very tasty. I mix it 50/50 with bulk leucine, which is not as tasty but give a stronger ratio of leucine:isoleucine:valine. The Xtend still gives a taste to that mixture that is tolerable. This is my fist BCAA trial, so I have no basis for comparison, but my results have been incredible and I have only been using this for about 2 1/2 weeks now. I stopped taking creatine, arginine, beta alanine etc. when I started using this (taking a month off) and my recovery is faster than it ever was before. I am working out very hard and recovering very quickly. I am noticably more defined, especially my arms, and I have put on about 1kg in 2 1/2 weeks. I throw about 10 grams (5g Xtend, 5g leucine) in a liter of water and drink it between breakfast and lunch (a lot of people with full-time jobs might also like to use this at the same time, because it really helps fill in that gap between breakfast and lunch). I also throw 10-20g of the same mixture (depending on how sore I am and how long my workout will be) in 2 liters of water and drink that throughout my workout. This is my new favorite supplement, and I can't wait to see the results once I start using my pre-workout cocktail again! BTW scivation also has EXCELLENT customer service, as does Nutraplanet. Thanks guys! Xtend V Bulk BCAA's By: AndrewReview posted on: Wed Jul 23 08:34:09 -0400 2008 Purchased this product for a change, instead of the regular 1kg Bulk BCAA's that I usually buy. How does this compare, personally this gave me very significant gains, went from 210 to 220 lb in 3 weeks, while maintaining about the same % bodyfat. This is about the same gains I got from using bulk BCCA's for the first time( no change to diet or training schedule with Xtend or Bulk). This was achieved by mega dosing Xtend with 2 serving preworkout, 4 servings during, 2 servings postworkout and 4 servings again 30 mins to 1hr before bed. As you can tell, this way Xtend doesn't last very long. Then if same gains, why use this....right? Well, recently I have had stomach discomfort mega dosing bulk BCAA's, and the gains weren't the same as the first time. I attribute the nice gains to the huge glutamine content per serving in Xtend, which help in the intestinal tract rid toxins and absorb nutrients. Alright back to gains...strength higher, eg military press (shoulders) up from max 30 kg DB for 6 reps ( assisted) to 32.5 kg DB for 6 reps ( unassisted) in 3 week peroid. Endurance: 1 hr workouts at high intensity became a breeze, with virtually no decrease in performance from set to set, because of shake during workout. On non-training days same dosage protocol with almost zero DOMS and slightly better sleep. This the difference I believe that separates Xtend from Bulk BCAA's, and I will defiantly purchase this product in the future. Lastly how could this product be better? Examples, the additions of: Creatine, Beta Alanine, Citruline Malate, Wax Maze Starch, EAA's all at effective dosages, larger container 2kg, 3kg. Overall rating: 5 STARS Long review I know, hope it help with your decision to purchase Xtend This Belongs In Your Order By: BenReview posted on: Tue Nov 13 16:55:14 -0500 2007 All bodybuilders NEED to be taking BCAA's. Very few supplements on the market have the proven effectiveness of this simple yet essential supplement. This version of BCAA's is by far my favorite though. The watermelon tastes like kool-aid minus the sugar, and the glutamine and citruline malate are awesome additions. If you want the best bang for your buck with a BCAA supplement look no further. Good,but.... By: shawnReview posted on: Wed Nov 18 16:51:20 -0500 2009 This stuff is good,however the product is body weight dependent. I weigh 195 lbs. to get the full bang for my buck i have to take 6 scoops every time i drink, that equates to 15 servings. I'm sticking to Purple Wrath. Good Choice By: TylerReview posted on: Thu Dec 31 14:09:15 -0500 2009 This is personally my favorite of all the pre/intra workout supplements. The taste is by far the best of all of them (and I have tried most of them) if you get watermelon. Mixes great with water. Personally I mix it with a scoop of Waxy Maize in water. The nutrients ratios are very good for this product and are a great addition to any routine. My only complaint would be price but its a good enough product that even I can overlook it. Good Stuff By: shawnReview posted on: Sat Oct 10 21:55:37 -0400 2009 I took the advice of some others,and went ahead and got the watermelon. This stuff is sure tasty,i can't really speak for results for i have only been using for 1 week,but if you are looking for a good tasting pre/intra drink def. pick this stuff up. great taste and price By: DanielReview posted on: Sun May 03 17:59:17 -0400 2009 the watermelon tastes the best and gives great effects. i actually gave up my pre w/o shake and instead just sip on 2 servings of xtend intra. strength has continued to go up and recovery is great Watermelon is soooo Delicious!!! By: JoshReview posted on: Thu Mar 26 22:49:13 -0400 2009 I love this stuff. It helps me drink alot of water while im working out and definately improves my endurance. Mix in some bulk Beta alanine like 2 grams and drink during your workout for an amazing workout!!!! 5 STARS!!! a staple By: kyleReview posted on: Thu Mar 12 00:58:37 -0400 2009 this stuff is critical. it reduces DOMS a huge amount and I won't train without it again. If I'm short on money in the future I'll buy this over whey protein without question. A must buy By: JamesReview posted on: Wed Dec 31 23:07:01 -0500 2008 The watermelon flavor is great. This stuff is perfect for when you need protein and you're tired of dairy-rich flavors like chocolate or vanilla whey. This stuff is light and pleasant like gatorade or crystal light. It's like a protein rich thirst quencher that won't make you feel full. Xtend is a must. By: JosephReview posted on: Tue Dec 23 13:57:36 -0500 2008 Very tastey BCAA supplement. You might be wondering well what makes it better then any other amino acid mix? i have looked for something comparable to Xtend for a long time and the thing that most are lacking is the glutamine. I believe the glutamine in Xtend makes it more valuable then other mixes. Also I feel as if it hydrates me much better than water while working out. If you are cutting this is a perfect cutting tool. Just sip on it when your hungry in between meals and you get a calorie free muscle stimulating snack! Plus the leucine will create a nice anabolic environment for your meals in between. Highly Reccomended. Watermelon all the way By: AaronReview posted on: Wed Oct 29 12:15:54 -0400 2008 This is an essential. Watermelon is the flavor to get in my opinion. My last tub was Apple, and I'll never buy anything other than the Watermelon again. It's not that the Apple was bad, just the watermelon is so good (as far as BCAA flavoring systems go). Tasty and Good Product By: robertReview posted on: Thu Jul 31 12:26:57 -0400 2008 Tastes amazing. Also helps me on my lifts immensely. I sip a blend of this and creatine mono while at the gym. Love it and would recommend it to anyone. GREAT! By: JustinReview posted on: Wed Jun 04 14:04:56 -0400 2008 this and apple are the two best flavors... LOVE them both. I always drink it during my workouts and during this contest prep i drank 12 scoops throughout the day Great By: WilliamReview posted on: Tue Apr 22 13:42:10 -0400 2008 It's fantastic in every regard. The flavor is like a watermelon jolly rancher. It's effect is noticeable within minutes. Longer more intense workouts, reduced burn during cardio. I mix with IDS waximaize and drink during workout. B/C taste is so great I'll mix with water and sip throughout the day. Pretty good By: DarrylReview posted on: Tue Nov 13 16:55:18 -0500 2007 Just noticed the recovery from it. Greatly helps. But i don't really want the CM or Glutamine in it, i bought this just for recovery not for something during my workouts A Must for the Serious Lifter/Athlete By: DavidReview posted on: Tue Nov 13 16:55:05 -0500 2007 When I first purchased Xtend I did so for the aspect that the play a crucial role in building muscle and other desired bodily functions. I was blown away however by its effectivness to give tangible gains in the gym, in that I substantialy decreased rest time inbetween sets and also in the first weeks/months it helped with notable strength gains and endurance (coupled with a solid diet I saw increase of 10 to 20 pounds on certain exercises in the first few weeks. xtend is now a staple of mine whether bulking or cutting and reccommend it to anyone wanting to give BCAAs a try with a little extra kick |
