XTEND Original BCAA Powder, Strawberry Mango

Really sorry to write this review because I initially loved Xtend BCAA in Blood Orange. I am only writing in case others experience unusual auras or headaches. I do not get headaches and I started to get them. I suspected a link with the product and stopped using it for a week - headaches went away. I then introduced it and drank one scope with a pint of water. Within 20 minutes I had a nasty aura in my head and slightly impaired vision in my left eye. I tried again the next day same one scoop with a pint of water and 20 minutes a nasty migraine type headache. I have stopped using it - no more headaches. I might try once again to test it because I don't wish to blame the product unnecessarily.

I am not going to use this review to talk about the benefits of taking a BCAA supplement because chances are you already know about that and if not there are plenty of more qualified individuals out there to give you all the information you could need. Instead I will keep it to talking about Scivation's offering specifically.So let's start by looking at the nutritional facts. Included in each serving is huge 7g of BCAAs in the known most effective proportion of 2:1:1 of the key aminos. This is achieved by not including a lot of fillers and only including the essential things with known benefits to training such as 2.5g if Glutamine and 1g of Citrulline Malate.Now lets talk a little about the flavour. I have personally tried about half of the offered flavours in the past 9 or 10 months and haven't had any terrible experience. The best flavour so far in my opinion was the Watermelon and the worst the Strawberry and Kiwi which I found to be overly sweet for my palette but not unbearably so.Did I see any difference while using this product? The short answer is Yes! I definitely saw my recovery time reduced and as I am using this intra-workout I am seeing the benefits of increased longevity and small strength increases too. I would also say that I have seen size gains too but how much this can be attributed to the use of this supplement alone is certainly debatable.To conclude my overall opinion of this product is highly positive and I do recommend it to friends. If you are reading this review trying to decide whether to try Scivation Xtend BCAAs I would say go for it.

Arrived promptly on 5/9/2020 with Best by date: 10/2020 (See images). This means I have to consume the 90 servings within 57 days. This is unacceptable. However, I will not be returning it as I do not have time to waste. For this reason I gave it 1 star.Update: Forgot to mention, it arrives with no seal. After using it, I noticed it dissolves well but causes stomach pains.

I purchased this when I started suffering extreme fatigue, restless legs and muscle weakness after intensive cardio work outs (I do a lot of spinning). It's been a complete game changer My fitness has improved and I no longer feel like I need to sleep for 3 days straight after a workout. The fatigue, restless legs and muscle weakness no longer happen.The taste and consistency are also great. I would thoroughly recommend this.

I hit the gym 4 days a week for about an hour and a half each time. This recovery mix has helped immensely with my ability to not feel like I have been hit by a truck when I come to the end of the day.The flavour is also one that I can bear and is not too sweet - has a bit a tart to offset the sweet.If you lift and also have a full-time job I would highly recommend you add a BCAA recovery drink into the mix. You will not be unhappy with the results.

This powder is amazing and mixes well. I can see that some flavours might not be to some peoples taste, so I would buy small first to see what they taste like. I've gone for Fruit Punch, and it definitely punches... lolThe smell is very prominent and the taste is very, very sweet. Shame as I'm sure they could cut this back without impacting taste too much. Oddly, I mix this with Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Pre Workout Energy Powder Drink Fruit Punch and tones down the taste. Best part been on this combo for a couple of weeks and my training has improved greatly.... Hope this reviews helpsNow using Apple & Mango... the results of this powder appear to work really well, so back to my workouts.

Good stuff, easy on tummy and nice taste. I never expect any extra boost from BCAA's as long as you stay strictly on diet and train, you never need any extra boost. I only take it as it is on good amino acid ratio 2:1:1 , as well as additional l-glutamine and potassium. To sum up, it is a total good blend. Use it with daily diet , I don't recommend it to use with creatine. Lemon/lime flavour is by far the best.

The tub did not have expiry date stated any where (which seemed to be the problem with one of their batches) so did not open the tub and returned it over a month back but no refund until now despite my messages to the seller. Their communication is non-existant so based on that factor, I would give this product a "Big Fat ZEERRRO"will contact Amazon to process my rwfusn instead now.
