Description
XTEND The Original is the benchmark branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) drink from the American brand XTEND. This European version is mixed with water and drunk around training or during the day.
Each serving provides 7 g of BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio (3.5 g of L-leucine, 1.75 g of L-isoleucine, 1.75 g of L-valine), 2.5 g of L-glutamine and 550 mg of L-citrulline, plus electrolytes: magnesium, potassium and sodium.
It also provides vitamin B6 (46% RI) and magnesium (16%). Vitamin B6 and magnesium contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal energy-yielding metabolism; magnesium contributes to normal muscle function.
Sugar-free (0 g per serving) and sweetened with sucralose and steviol glycosides, it comes in nine flavours, from Mango Madness to Italian Blood Orange, Blue Raspberry Ice and Knockout Fruit Punch.
