15-06-2025THIS IS HORRIBLE!!!!! Flavorless and tasteless. I mix 2 scoops in my 1/2 gallon of water... GROSS!!!! Very disappointing due to the packaging is great. Product is gross. Will never purchase again.

Greater than one weekI have had the Cherry Icee and the Big Melon flavor - the Cherry was ok, loved the watermelon one and this flavor goes in the middle of the two. I wasnt sure if Id like it but took the risk and was pleasantly surprised. These BCAAs work well for my recovery and will definitely buy from this brand again.

11-06-2025Took this for muscle recovery but after a few hours of taking 1 scoop caused me to have bad headaches and nausea that lasted for at least 6 hours. I’ve never had a problem with their hydraulic formula but sadly can’t say the same for this product.

> 3 dayI have been using BCAA supplements since the original Xtend came out in 2008 or so. I would guess I have 100 or so different brands/flavors in that time. That being said... This is WORST tasting BCAA drink I have ever had, other than maybe Xtend Tangerine. There was no hint of gummy bear due to the over powering bitterness. Pure bitterness is all I tasted. Even if something doesnt taste great, I usually can power through it. Not with this one... IN all fairness, I am a fan of Seth Feroce and his YT channel. The ingredient profile looks great too, but Seth if you are reading this I suggest you either go back to drawing board or get rid of this flavor all together. Seriously, this flavor sucks.

> 3 dayI’m not sure how I missed sucralose in the ingredients but I did. Very unfortunate as my doctor recommended this to me. Since it’s not eligible for returns I’m very disappointed. I’m so frustrated with myself for not scrolling down far enough to see though it checked my gluten free, sugar free, dairy boxes it’s got sucralose which is no good.

Premium Ingredients

|
|---|---|---|
BCAAsBranched chain amino acids, also known as BCAAs, activate muscle protein synthesis which is the process of building and repairing muscle. They are also deemed essential, so you must get an adequate amount on a daily basis through diet and/or supplementation. |
EAAsEssential amino acids, also known as EAAs, are critical for building muscle as well as numerous other physiological functions. Essential amino acids aren"t produced by the body so they must be consumed through diet. |
GlutamineGlutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the human body. It plays a crucial role in gut health, immune system functioning, and muscle repair. |

Coconut Water PowderCoconut water powder is naturally rich in electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals, especially potassium. Consuming coconut water will help promote hydration throughout training. |
Betaine AnhydrousBetaine anhydrous improves hydration and performance by drawing water into the muscle cell. Betaine also supports cardiovascular health and increases levels of creatine in the skeletal muscle. |
OrnithineOrnithine helps reduce ammonia build-up in the blood so you can train harder for longer. Ornithine also helps with blood flow and nutrient delivery by increasing the diameter of the blood vessels. |
