Scientifically Advanced Formula
For Maximizing Training and Recovery!
NEW IMPROVED FORMULA
Q: What is Xtend?
A:
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
Xtend was recently reformulated to dramatically improve taste and
ingredient solubility - Xtend is now spoon-mixible - and to provide
added functionality for workouts or events under the most grueling of
conditions. Xtend is available in 6 mouth-watering, refreshing fruit
flavors to make every workout an incredible one.
Q: Who should use Xtend?
A:
Xtend was designed to be used effectively by anyone,
male or female, who want to perform at their best - from serious
athletes to anyone that's just serious about performance or changing
their physique. Though ideal for strength or bodybuilding training, or
for persons on a reduced carbohydrate diet, Xtend can also be used very
effectively in a "bulking phase" or by endurance athletes during
training and competition. That is, Xtend works whether it's used as
formulated and indicated, or whether you choose to combine Xtend with
supplemental carbohydrates based upon performance needs and duration.
Q: When's the best time to consume Xtend?
A:
Two university studies suggest that Xtend is
significantly effective at increasing muscle mass and strength, and
reducing body fat when consumed during exercise or immediately prior to
and after training.* It's recommended that you begin consuming Xtend
immediately prior to, and continue sipping on Xtend throughout your
training or competition. Many users also report significantly improved
gains when Xtend is consumed immediately upon waking-up in the morning
and/or sipping on Xtend throughout the day.
Q: How much Xtend should I consume for it to be most effective?
A:
For best mixing results and taste, pour 8 fluid
ounces of filtered water into a shaker cup. Add 1 scoop of Xtend. Cover
or close the shaker cup. Swirl the shaker to create a vortex effect and
draw the Xtend powder into solution. Then, once the Xtend powder has
fallen into solution, shake vigorously for about 25 shakes. Enjoy! For
endurance athletes that may add Xtend to their hydration pack, it is
recommended that Xtend be mixed in a shaker cup or pitcher and then
poured into the hydration pack (as opposed to mixing directly within the
hydration pack, as doing so may cause the hydration tubing to become
blocked). NOTE: If you find that some of the BCAA material settles at
the bottom of the shaker cup, you may not have used the correct dilution
ratio of 1 scoop of Xtend per 8 fluid ounce of water.

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 period 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.
