Scivation Xtend BCAAs 1125g-Pre-Intra-Post Workout Formula-Any Time Drink

Sci-Vation  Xtend
Xtend is a  sugar-free, BCAA-containing drink mix designed to maximize training intensity  and support your goals.
Xtend is the ultimate,  sugar-free, BCAA-containing drink mix to be consumed during exercise  (intra-workout). Whether you're a physique athlete, strongman, powerlifter,  traditional athlete (e.g., football, basketball, baseball, soccer, etc),  endurance competitor, or just looking to significantly change your body  composition through resistance training and nutrition, Xtend is ideally  formulated to maximize training intensity and support your goals. Xtend was the  first and has become the most well-recognized and used intra-workout catalyst  product because it not only works... but it tastes great too!

Xtend contains an incredible:

7000 mg of BCAAs in an ideal 2:1:1 ratio of  leucine:isoleucine:valine

3500 mg of leucine

2500 mg of glutamine

1000 mg of citrulline Malate

1171 mg of electrolytes

640 mcg of vitamin B6

And, zero carbohydrates or sugar

Other results you can expect from using Xtend  include:

Increased exercise training volume (more  volume/more total work = greater adaptation or more muscle)

Increased muscle protein synthesis

Reduced muscle protein breakdown

Increased muscular endurance

Increased energy & endurance capacity

Improved blood glucose disposal & insulin  response

Increased power output

Increased atp synthesis/resynthesis

Increased nitric oxide (no)

Delayed onset of muscle fatigue/increased time to  exhaustion

Improved neuromuscular responsiveness & recovery

Improved hydration

Q: How fast will I see results from using Xtend?
A: Most Xtend users report an immediate, acute  response during training. Variables such as training volume, reduced fatigue,  and increased muscular endurance and power output are common to first-time  Xtend users. For body composition and strength changes, Xtend studies support  significant improvements in as little as 8 weeks.

Q: Is Xtend safe?
A: Not only do each of the individual ingredients  used in Xtend have an incredibly high dosing threshold of safety and many years  of validated clinical trials to support safety across a wide range of  consumers, but Xtend did not adversely affect any measures of safety in either  of the two clinical studies in which it was used chronically and at high doses  for up to 10 weeks. Additionally, each batch of Xtend undergoes rigorous  quality assurance and analytical testing to validate ingredient purity and  potency, and is blended and packaged in an NSF for Sport certified facility to  ensure no banned substances are inadvertently introduced into the manufacturing  process while producing Xtend.

Q: How does Xtend work?
A: Xtend is formulated with a precise PentActive  blend of key ingredients, synergistically involved in cellular processes to  optimize muscle performance and response:

Stage 1: 7000 mg of BCAAs, in a 2:1:1 ratio of  leucine:isoleucine:valine is used to provide metabolic energy while you train,  as well as to stimulate muscle protein synthesis.

Stage 2: 2500 mg of Glutamine is used to increase  extracellular concentrations of Glutamine, which helps to promote muscle  intracellular BCAA metabolism down the correct energy and protein synthesis  pathways via the BCAA aminotransferase enzyme.

Stage 3: 640 mcg of Vitamin B6 serves as the  rate-limiting cofactor involved in optimal BCAA aminotransferase reactions.

Stage 4: 1000 mg of Citrulline Malate can help  support rapid ATP turnover and lactate reabsorption to support higher training  volumes at a given exercise intensity. Citrulline also serves as a secondary  signal to stimulate muscle protein synthesis, most likely arising from its  ability to promote increased blood flow via increase nitric oxide (NO) and/or  improving the energy state of a cell by promoting lactate reabsorption.

Stage 5: 1171 mg of an extensively studied  Electrolyte blend, consisting of Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate, Potassium  Chloride, and Sodium Chloride, help to optimize muscle contractile function and  promote cell hydration under the most brutal of conditions.

Q: How does Xtend compare to other products?
A: In both 8-week & 10-week clinical trials,  under no or weight-reducing calorie restricted diets, respectively, Xtend has  significantly outperformed Whey Protein, Carbohydrates and a 4:1  (Carb-to-Protein) sports beverage on measures of lean body mass, body fat,  upper- and lower-body muscular endurance, and upper- and lower-body strength.  Within the physique and anaerobic sports nutrition industry, competitive  products are either under-dosed, contain irrelevant ingredients included more  for a label effect than a physiological one, or are so ignorantly formulated as  to wonder what species' metabolism the company's R&D personnel believes to  be their core audience. During exercise beverages for the endurance world, on  the other hand, still depend too heavily on simple carbohydrates or, when amino  acids are included, generally use low doses of a whey protein concentrate that  yield only a fraction of the key amino acids and introduce unnecessary lactose  and fat into a high-performance environment.

Q: Are there any other products that will help  improve the results I achieve when using Xtend?
A: Xtend was formulated, and then recently  reformulated to remove the need for additional ingredients while you train or  compete. However, Xtend was explicitly formulated to contain no carbohydrates  or sugar so that you could dictate how you may want to manipulate your  carbohydrate needs based upon your training cycle or duration. Therefore, when  carbohydrates are desired, combine Xtend with up to 0.45 g of carbohydrate per  pound of bodyweight, per hour of exercise. When carbohydrates are added,  increase the amount of water used per serving so that the finished formula  concentration is easily digestible during exercise.
