Scivation Xtend Details

Scivation Xtend is scientifically formulated to maximize training intensity and promote optimal muscle protein synthesis and recovery while you train.† Proven effective in two university studies, Scivation Xtend is formulated with a precise PentActive blend of active ingredients, synergistically involved in key cellular processes to optimize muscle performance and response.

Scivation Xtend was recently reformulated to dramatically improve taste and ingredient solubility. Scivation Xtend is easily mixed with a spoon and provides added functionality for workouts or events under the most grueling of conditions.  Scivation Xtend  is available in six mouth-watering, refreshing fruit flavors to make every workout your most intense.

Scivation Xtend FAQs

What is Scivation Xtend?

Scivation Xtend is the ultimate sugar-free, BCAA-containing drink mix to be consumed intra-workout (during exercise.) 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, Scivation Xtend is ideally formulated to maximize training intensity and support your goals. Scivation Xtend  was the first and has become the most well-recognized and most widely-used used intra-workout catalyst product because it not only works but it tastes great too!

What is in Scivation Xtend?

Scivation Xtend is commonly thought of as simply a branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplement, but that is like saying a Navy SEAL is a sailor who can swim really well. There’s so much more to the story.  Scivation Xtend contains:

• BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, and valine,) in a research validated 2:1:1 ratio to stimulate and support muscle protein synthesis and provide metabolic energy while you train.
• Glutamine to promote muscle intracellular BCAA metabolism down the correct energy and protein synthesis pathways via the BCAA aminotransferase enzyme.
• Vitamin B6 to ensure optimal BCAA aminotransferase reactions.
• Bonded Citrulline Malate to help facilitate rapid ATP turnover and lactate re-absorption to support higher training volumes at a given exercise intensity.
• Electrolytes  (potassium, chloride and sodium) to optimize cell hydration and muscle contractile function while you train even under the most brutal of conditions.

Who should use Scivation Xtend?

Scivation Xtend is designed to be effective for anyone — male or female — who wants to perform at their best, from competitive athletes to those serious about changing their physique. Though ideal for strength training or bodybuilding (especially those on low-carb diets,) Scivation Xtend can also be used very effectively in a “bulking phase” or by endurance athletes during training and competition. Scivation Xtend works whether it’s used as formulated and indicated, or whether you choose to combine Scivation Xtend with supplemental carbohydrates based upon performance needs and duration.

When’s the best time to consume Scivation Xtend?

Two university studies confirm that  Scivation 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 Scivation Xtend immediately before your workout, and continue sipping on Scivation Xtend throughout your training or competition. Many users also report significantly improved gains when Scivation Xtend is consumed first thing in the morning and sipping on Scivation Xtend throughout the day.

Will the sodium content in the new Scivation Xtend make me look bloated and flat?

No it won’t. Sodium has been given a bad rap in the fitness community. Online forums are frequently atwitter about how sodium will immediately obscure your hard-earned muscles with excess water and bloat. While that might be the case if you suck down a large pizza, the relatively small amount of sodium per serving of Scivation Xtend isn’t going to camouflage your shoulder striations. Studies have shown that people can lose up to 1,800 mg of sodium in a liter of sweat. You could have seven servings of Scivation Xtend a day and still not replace that amount.

Even serious competitors don’t need to avoid salt until just a few days before their event. In fact, some research suggests that following a chronically low-sodium diet makes it harder to achieve that ripped look when the sodium finally is eliminated before a contest. 

The fact is, Scivation Xtend contains the correct ratio of electrolytes to help you train intensely and recovery properly. And it’s training and recovery — not counting grains of salt — that’s going to build you the body that you want.

How much Scivation Xtend should I consume for it to be most effective?

For best mixing results and taste, pour eight fluid ounces of filtered water into a shaker cup. Add 1 scoop of Scivation Xtend. Close the shaker cup and swirl to create a vortex effect and draw the Scivation Xtend powder into the liquid. Once the Scivation Xtend powder has fallen into solution, shake vigorously for about 25 shakes. For endurance athletes who may add XTEND to their hydration pack, it’s recommended that Scivation Xtend be mixed in a shaker cup or pitcher and then poured into the backpack. (Mixing directly within the bladder of the hydration pack may cause the 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 Scivation Xtend per eight ounces of water.

Is it safe?

Not only do each of the individual ingredients used in Scivation Xtend have an incredibly high dosing threshold and many years of validated clinical trials to support safety across a wide range of consumers, but Scivation 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 Scivation 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 during production.
