Review: Great Recovery, Clean Ingredients, Excellent Value! - As someone who takes health and fitness seriously as a hobby, I’ve tried a lot of BCAA supplements over the years-and this one has earned a permanent spot in my routine. The 7g of BCAAs plus 2.5g of L-Glutamine per serving is exactly what I need for post-workout recovery. I’ve noticed less soreness and quicker muscle repair after weight training and HIIT sessions. It’s sugar-free, which is a huge plus, and mixes easily with water-no clumping, no gritty texture. The taste is surprisingly good for a product with no sugar, and it doesn’t leave that artificial aftertaste that some other powders do. I also appreciate that it’s suitable for both men and women, and that they keep the ingredient list clean and focused. With 90 servings, it’s a fantastic value-especially compared to other brands that offer half the quantity for a higher price. Whether you’re hitting the gym a few times a week or training hard every day, this is a solid, reliable BCAA formula that delivers on what it promises.
Review: Best overall BCAA w/ Glutamine - The biggest attribute to call out for this is the L-Glutamine that is in this drink. It is very rare to find a BCAA drink that has this so I hope this stays around till I stop working out and chugging water. Good taste and surprisingly doesn’t leave a weird “no sugar” after taste which is a plus.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The grape flavor is sickeningly sweet, what’s a better option??**
A: AlohA May!...1st I hope u didn't throw the can away! This stuff works to reduce fatigue, soreness & prolong endurance for workouts. I wish i had found out about this back when i did marathons & long bike rides, this stuff works way better than Gatorade!  THAT being said, what i do is i buy the UNflavored version, then add slowly the flavored to see what's sweet enough for me. I'm SOoooo happy this brand offers UNflav, not much pre-, post-, workout drinks offer Unflav. AND 90% of them have dyes to in them, use a lot of Red 40 & Yellow 5 or 6. Scivation does offer the "natural" powder, w/ no dyes & they use stevia. I didn't buy it b/c i didn't see it, so when i finish the Blood Orange can, then i'll try the Crisp Apple. I don't pay attention to negative comments about how a particular flavor is b/c it's so subjective & I've learned how to flavor my own drinks the past ~8yrs reducing the sugars. I also do this w/ my protein shakes, buy the UNflav casein, egg & isolate powders, then go from there. Some health companies are offering more UNflav stuff b/c a lot share the same sentiment of flavored drinks being too sweet, whether it's stevia or sucralose, it doesn't matter, it's like eating cotton candy! Hope this helps!

**Q: There is a current class action lawsuit against xtend re: their reporting of 0 calories. Why is this still being marketed as such?**
A: Yes

**Q: Is this something I could take in addition to using a pre workout? Also, I always do a protein shake after my workouts. would that be ok to do?**
A: I take steel Supplements pumped af and amped af preworkout then a protein shake postworkout. I have bcaas but the kind I got is disgusting. It doesn’t hurt to combine bcaas with anything

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product, a great addition to my fitness training program.
*by E***C on July 3, 2018*

I don't even know how many bottles of these I've gone through, but this Scivation Xtend BCAA powder is a staple in our house. We mix it up about one scoop to 2 quarts so it's not too strong for everyday drinking, and about a scoop to a liter for workouts and it's just been great to use as a non stimulant pre-workout, post workout, and general recovery drink. Our favorite flavors are Grape, Blue Raspberry, and Mango, but the Watermelon is also not bad. Great product, and Amazon has it for a great price. Our soda intake has dropped 95% since we started working out regularity and drinking BCAAs instead of sugary drinks. We feel better, are more in shape, have lost a lot of weight, and of course this isn't a weight loss drink, but it's all part of a balanced lifestyle which is a lot easier with a delicious taste and BCAA/Glutamine/Leucine to help with muscle recovery and hydration.
