Product Information

Full details

XTEND BCAA is a zero-sugar, zero-carb drink mix designed for athletes seeking to enhance performance, support muscle recovery, and maintain hydration during intense training. It provides 7g of BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio, plus glutamine and citrulline malate, to help reduce fatigue and promote muscle protein synthesis. While effective for many sports, its primary focus is on strength and endurance training, and it may not be ideal for those needing pre-workout stimulants.

FAQs

How much XTEND BCAA should I take per day?

The general recommendation is 1 scoop per serving. You can consume it before, during, or after your workout, or between meals on training days.

Can I mix XTEND BCAA with other supplements?

XTEND BCAA is designed to be mixed with water. While it can be combined with other supplements, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional or nutritionist for personalized advice.

Is XTEND BCAA suitable for vegetarians or vegans?

XTEND BCAA contains amino acids. Please check the product packaging or manufacturer's website for specific dietary certifications (e.g., vegan, vegetarian) as formulations can vary.

Does XTEND BCAA contain caffeine or other stimulants?

No, XTEND BCAA is a stimulant-free product. It focuses on amino acids and electrolytes for muscle support and hydration.

How long does one container of XTEND BCAA last?

A 447g container typically provides 30 servings, assuming 1 scoop per serving. Usage frequency will determine how long a container lasts.

Can I use XTEND BCAA on rest days?

While most beneficial around workouts, some users choose to consume XTEND BCAA on rest days between meals to support overall recovery and protein synthesis, especially on high-activity days.

What is the 2:1:1 ratio of BCAAs?

The 2:1:1 ratio refers to the proportion of Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine, respectively. This is the naturally occurring ratio found in muscle and is considered optimal for supporting muscle protein synthesis.

Troubleshooting

Powder not mixing well / clumping

Ensure you are using the correct water-to-powder ratio (1 scoop per 250ml water). Shake vigorously for the recommended duration. If using a hydration pack, mix in a separate container first.

Product settling at the bottom of the shaker

This may indicate insufficient shaking or incorrect dilution. Re-shake vigorously or add a small amount more water and shake again.

No noticeable benefits

Consistency is key. Ensure you are taking the product regularly as directed, especially around training sessions. Individual results may vary based on diet, training intensity, and other factors.

  • Helps reduce perceived fatigue during workouts.
  • Aids in maintaining training intensity.
  • Replenishes essential electrolytes lost in sweat.
  • Zero sugar and zero carbs fit various dietary strategies.
  • Mixes easily without foam or residue.

Cons

  • Does not contain stimulants, which some users may prefer in a pre-workout.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Mixing Instructions:

  1. Pour 250ml (approximately 8.5 oz) of filtered water into a shaker cup.
  2. Add 1 scoop of XTEND BCAA powder.
  3. Cover or close the shaker cup.
  4. Swirl the shaker to create a vortex, allowing the powder to start dissolving.
  5. Shake vigorously for about 25 shakes until the powder is fully incorporated.

Hydration Pack Use:

If using with a hydration pack for endurance sports, it is recommended to mix XTEND BCAA in a separate shaker cup or pitcher first, then pour the mixed solution into the hydration pack. Mixing directly within the hydration pack may lead to blockage of the tubing.

Storage:

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the lid tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent clumping.

Care:

Ensure the scoop is dry before returning it to the container. Clean shaker cups thoroughly after each use.
