Zero-calorie recovery fuel in multiple mouthwatering flavors.
Xtend® The Original
For over 10 years, XTEND® has been making the best recovery products in the world. The award-winning XTEND® Original formula is powered by 7 grams of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which have been clinically shown to support muscle repair, recovery, and growth. XTEND® Original also contains a unique blend of hydrating electrolytes and additional performance ingredients to help you refuel, repair, and recover.*
The three BCAAs are leucine, isoleucine, and valine. It's important to note that many BCAA formulas contain only 5 grams of BCAAs per serving, which means they may lack enough leucine to effectively stimulate muscle protein synthesis (MPS). Every serving of XTEND® Original contains 3.5 grams of leucine to stimulate MPS, as well as 1.75 grams each of isoleucine and valine, in the research-backed 2:1:1 ratio found in nature.*
Whatever your fitness goal, training style, or sport of choice, XTEND® can help you train harder, recover faster, and get back in the game sooner. Try all the sugar-free, zero-calorie, mouthwatering flavors of XTEND® Original to fuel your fitness goals.*

Ratings & Reviews
Amazing taste, easy to mix. Helps me fight through intense workouts. Xtend is the best in the game. Highly recommend.
I used this mostly pre-workout- one scoop and mixed it with 12oz water. It mixes well but there is still a small gritty part at bottom- so you drink it and once you have a few sip left you mix with a spoon to get all of it down. The flavor is great and taste very mango like and not overly sweet- it is not like a real mango but it does come as close as possible without cals and carbs. This has 7 grams of BCAA with calories and carbs. I really like the electrolyte blend and you really feel it in the morning workout. Hydration is very important and I have been getting slightly better pump-endurance because of it. Overall one of the better BCAA out there. Xtend is very popular brand and it live up to all the popularity and quality is always good. Ps I also use Xtend pro -post workout whey isolate and it also rocks.
I was able to try this product thanks to the extreme generosity of Xtend and the reps. Italian Blood Orange tastes phenomenal. I visited Italy last summer and tried some of their blood oranges and i have to say, this comes the closest to mimicking that real flavor. I absolutely love it and i can see why everyone praises it so much. No artificial taste whatsoever. Not overly intensive but you can mix it with more or less water depending on your personal preference. I have to rate it as my new favorite BCAA flavor. The only thing topping it are the Xtend Carbonated BCAA's in my opinion but even then it's a close contest. 9.5/10 It mixes and dissolved perfectly. No foaming, no residue or solid pieces left over. Zero complaints here. 10/10 Xtend's BCAA helped me feel energized and helped me through my workouts. It is extremely hydrating and i prefer drinking it over regular plain water any day. It's also very refreshing and i could drink this during the gym or during any other time of the day. It tastes great and it's awesome on hot days as well. 9/10 This supplement comes with 7 grams of BCAA, zero calories, zero sugar. It has an electrolyte blend for hydration, vitamin B6 and so much more. All top quality ingredients and definitely something you can drink every day. Xtend really has the best flavors out there and Italian Blood Orange is definitely one of them. If you're looking for a BCAA supplement, then look no further. This one is a real gem and i'll continue to use it every day with joy. Here's to hoping that the Italian Blood Orange flavor also gets added to the carbonated BCAA line up.
It mixes instantly the taste is good but at the end the chemical taste comes thru
Great intraworkout supplement! I tried the blood orange and it tastes like a orange grapefruit juice. This helped me stay hydrated and assisted with my long endurance workouts.
Got to hand it to Scivation, another great flavor of Xtend BCAAs - Lemon-Lime Squeeze. I'd say it's a little heavier on the lemon than lime, but it's not overpowering. It seems to mimic lemonade (with a slice of lime) fairly well. This will probably make my rotation of Xtend flavors!
Xtend is a staple in my supplements at the gym and they do sales on them so often I can keep it stocked for the gym and use it every day. Mixes very well and the taste is always good and strong!
easy mixing, easy drinking. I use about 20 oz of water to get the flavor the way I like it
took a single full scoop. i used about 14 oz of water. tasted pretty good with this combination. mixed very well.
Tremendous taste, Scivation is always good for that as well as mixability. Don't need a whisk ball, spoon, etc., it'll be fine in just water + a bottle. Price is comparable to competition, but you get more grams of BCAA per serving. Some cheaper products have fewer grams, which is a hit or miss point to consider. However, this has always been my go-to.
The flavor is spot on here! Tastes like gatorade with the obvious added benefits like the citrulline malate and taurine which helps you get through that tiring workout. With this supp, I always feel hydrated in the gym and the taste of this just makes it that much easier to drink. I toss 1.5-2 scoops into my 64oz flask and it helps keep me going throughout my whole workout not to mention it's sooo refreshing on a hot day. I'm a sucker for lemon lime drinks so this beat the blood orange for me, haha. Definitely gonna purchase more when I'm done!
This is my go to BCAA. Great taste and mixes well.
The Best BCAA In The Sport Universe
