BCAA Recovery samples are ready!

Didn't like the orange flavour, I might order some lime if I decide to try it again.
 
I have the apple flavour. It mixes quite well, generally take about 20 mins though for foam created from shaking to disapate in bottle once mixed.

Flavour is tolerable.

bulk nutrients, would your product be "more pure" than extend? I ask as you can still taste the bitter amino taste in your product, where as xtend tastes like candy water.

are they full of shit with what's in their product?

Check the ingredients yourself, not hard to do.

having already done that, I was enquiring as to the percentage of fillers, sweetners and quality of the aminos.

most companies are aware of what the major players put into there product, I was merely asking regarding purity versus taste.

Cheers. The addition of 2500mg of L glutamine and 1170mg of electrolytes making up most of the gap?

any thoughts on those two extras?

Hi Dave,

The 10.5g of total amino acids in Xtend is everything included. BCAA's, Glutamine, Citrulline and electrolytes.
BCAA's only make up 7 grams of the total 13g serve.

A little over half the product (54%) is BCAA's.

It's your cash getting flushed, no skin off my nose, I stopped using all supplements including protein, BCAA's, pre workout, intra workout, post workout, vitamins, electrolytes etc about 8 months ago, noted no difference in gains or performance what so ever, nothing changed, not anything apart from having an extra $2-300 per months to spend on other things, like rump steak, going out for dinners, etc

Good job!

The only thing that's going to speed recovery between workouts on top of the obvious things we need to do are steroids

Thats only really $50 per week or $7 -10 per day, pretty easy to spend that on supps, shakes, BCAA's, pre workout, creatine, mulit vitamin and fish oil, very basic regime compared to some, using mostly BN products.
