back to healthy life I bought new supplements. I'm new to taking these amino acids from xtend but I feel like I won't change them, I love it. It has everything you need: amino acids, glutamine and l-carnitine. You can take them before, during or after training and they are great for energy and muscle recovery. #fitnessgoals #fitnessgoal #fitness #lifestyle #sports

A non-stimulating intraworkout supplement

I am a health fanatic and I work out daily. I have used BCAAs in the past, but I was not a fan of the stimulating effect. I love that it has the extra hydration with electrolytes. It is so important to stay hydrated before, during and after your workout and Xtend Ripped can be used during and after your workout. It keeps me feeling recovered and I do not feel burnt out. Recovery is key to workouts. I have noticed a mild suppression in my appetite. The non-stimulant fat loss and muscle growth was really appealing to me. I absolutely hate feeling jittery after my workout, this supplement does not have that at all. It is a fine white powder that turns a grapefruit like color when mixed with cold water. The taste is a but tart for me, but other than that I really liked ... MoreI am a health fanatic and I work out daily. I have used BCAAs in the past, but I was not a fan of the stimulating effect.

It is a fine white powder that turns a grapefruit like color when mixed with cold water. The taste is a but tart for me, but other than that I really liked it. I was also impressed that it included 7g of BCAAs. There is 30 servings in one tub, easily lasting a month. I was aware of Xtend Ripped but I never tried it before sampling it. I am so glad I did give it a try because now it is my favorite BCAA supplement. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a non-stimulating intraworkout supplement.

Below average

I don't know what I did wrong with this preworkout. The taste was not good at all. Ingredients were wonderful, and I was excited to finally take non-caffeine infused preworkout. Quality was supposed to be good as well, given the high claim on the brand. I yucked out the first few tries and could not continue taking it.

Efficacy: 8/10 What appeals to

Efficacy: 8/10What appeals to me about Scivation Xtend Ripped BCAA's is actually the whole label. It's adequately dosed with 3.5g Leucine, 1.75g both Isoleucine and Valine, 1.14g electrolyte blend and 500mg carnitine tartrate. I'm on a no-caffeine streak right now, because I haven't taken a break from stimulants for a long time now, and this is great for a pre-workout drink. This, with some citrulline and creatine and I have a decent pre-workout on hand for my 4:30am lifts. I find myself always trying to optimize what I eat prior to training and while I'm there. I could drink a protein shake, but I'm not sure that'd digest the best, nor the quickest. I am eating in a caloric surplus since I have a powerlifting comp in less than 3 weeks, so the idea of using it as a ... MoreEfficacy: 8/10What appeals to me about Scivation Xtend Ripped BCAA's is actually the whole label.

I am eating in a caloric surplus since I have a powerlifting comp in less than 3 weeks, so the idea of using it as a cutting agent is something I'm not exercising right now. But given the ingredient dosages for "non-stim cutting formula," there really isn't a lot to work with. 850mg of CLA and 500mg LCAR is not a whole lot. It should be something like 2g CLA & 1g LCAR, at least. But as a BCAA dominant supplement, it does hit those marks. So 8/10.Taste: 9/10The Blueberry Lemonade flavor tastes great. It's different from most supplements because I can say I've never had a blueberry lemonade flavored supplement. It tastes great, maybe a little too sweet for some. But that's just an excuse to add some extra water, which I always find myself doing so it's nice this doesn't get diluted with extra water (think 16oz water). Typically I'm sipping on this from about 4:45am to 5am while I'm getting the morning going and packing lunch and stuff. I enjoy every sip. I find it's very hard to hit 10/10 in the flavor department, so it gets 9/10.Mixability: 10/10Very easy to mix up, even with a spoon.

Great recovery but not sold on the fat burner

I usually use the Hydrosport for recovery but decided to give this a shot because of the claim to aide in fat reduction. I've been using Ripped for a month as directed. I know that it works well for recovery. I was out of my usual BCAA for a week until my order arrived and the difference with the soreness during that week was very noticeable. It certainly helps prevent having very sore muscles after after workouts. I'm not a fan of the watermelon lime flavor but it is drinkable. I have not noticed any increase in the rate of fat loss after 1 month of use. I go to the gym 4 times a week and do 1 hour of cardio and 1 hour of weight training. I take a photo of myself every 2 weeks for comparison and I get on the scale daily. I can not see any proof that this product is ... MoreI usually use the Hydrosport for recovery but decided to give this a shot because of the claim to aide in fat reduction.

I might be gaining muscle mass which would explain the lack of a weight change. I plan to continue with the BCAAs but doubt that I will spend the extra money for the Ripped version next time.

I got the opportunity to

I got the opportunity to try Xtend Ripped. This product has the proven Xtend BCAA formula but also contains proven fat burning ingredients as well. First there is the CLA and Carnitine. I have used these as standalone products in the past and they work great so putting them in Xtend is a bonus, since I dont need to buy them individually. The ingredient I was most impressed with was the Capsimax (hot pepper extract). You feel this right away. After about 10-20 minutes, I felt my body temperature go up and started sweating. It helped my warmups go alot quicker plus makes me burn extra calories. The Kiwi Strawberry is very tasty, I used 20 oz mixed in a shaker cup and drank half before the workout and half during. Overall, this is a solid product for cutting up and ... MoreI got the opportunity to try Xtend Ripped.

Nutrabolt and the Cellucor/SciVation rep

Nutrabolt and the Cellucor/SciVation rep team sent me a tub of Watermelon Lime SciVation Xtend Ripped. Have regularly used Xtend Ripped for my recent workouts and now have a good handle on this product and here are my thoughts. As an intra-workout product designed to improve hydration, recovery, and a weight loss regimen, Xtend Ripped is an excellently formulated product. The 7 gram 2:1:1 dose of BCAAs plus the electrolytes, citrulline malate, LCLT, CLA, and CapsiMax makes for an excellent all around product. This is a nice combination of ingredients in reasonable doses. A large dose of citrulline malate would be great to see, but the product is already replete with ingredients. Xtend Ripped has been great to use. There are groundbreaking effects from any amino acid ... MoreNutrabolt and the Cellucor/SciVation rep team sent me a tub of Watermelon Lime SciVation Xtend Ripped.

Xtend Ripped has been great to use. There are groundbreaking effects from any amino acid product, but I feel that it helps improve my hydration. Xtend Ripped also helps make fasted exercise easier and more enjoyable. The Capsimax even at a low dose does seem to exert somewhat of a thermogenic effect - my sweating has been more profuse than usual. Plus, the extra BCAAs seem to help with muscle sparing when on a caloric deficit. The watermelon lime flavoring is amazingly good! There sweet and tart pairing is delicious. The fruit-pairing is spot on and I could drink this anytime and in any context. The cost per serving is at $1.27 for a 30 serving tub. I would love to see a larger tub, which may help bring down the price per serving. Something closer to a dollar a serving would make this an absolutely must try. I think the flavor and formula make it worth trying out, but look for it on discount too.

Ok

I was not a fan of the blueberry lemonade. For some reason, it doesn't dissolve as well as the other flavors I've tried. It had a weird chemical feeling when swallowing it which was off-putting. I will finish it but definitely won't buy again. I didn't notice any added fat burning effects either but that can be hard to judge. It only has 15 calories a serving but the others I bought had zero calories. Plus it's more expensive than the other options form the brand. Love the mango flavor and the blue raspberry. They taste much better and are cheaper but I didn't feel any extra energy like the package claims. It just tastes good and has zero calories. Will buy the ones in the red packaging with the supposed extra energy again.

Profile: 9/10 Definitely in the

Profile: 9/10Definitely in the top tier of intraworkouts. Added to the already good standard tend in ripped you get added fat loss ingredients. You get a higher than industry standard 7g dose of bcaas and 2.5g of glutamine for recovery. You get a 1.14g electrolyte blend to reduce cramping. 1g of citrulline malate for nutrient delivery/pumps/antifatigue. Plus in ripped for fat loss you get 850mg of CLA, 500mg of carnitine tartrate, and 50mg of capsimax. Im a fan of all of these ingredients however dosing wise I'd like to see a higher dose of CM, maybe 3gs worth and up the dose of carnitine tartrate to 1-2gs. If this was done the profile would get a 10 from me.Taste/Mixability: 9.5/10I was excited to try blueberry lemonade because I don't think Ive ever had a ... MoreProfile: 9/10Definitely in the top tier of intraworkouts.

Most companies do a blue razz lemonade, but I don't really see blueberry lemonades. Anyways flavor was typical Scivation,very good. I got a very even mix of blueberries and lemonade with the right amount of tartness.Effects: 9/10I had a very good experience with this while using it intraworkout. The electrolyte blend help eliminate cramping while hitting calves, the 1g CM helped with endurance and sustaining my pump intraworkout, soreness was at a minimum between the 7g bcaas and 2.5 glutamine. Also, while not in a cut, I felt warmer and sweated more during my workouts from the ripped blend.overall 9/10Another homerun by scivation, definitely a product I will be looking to picking up again

The Best BCAAs in Fitness Nutrition

Scivation XTEND Ripped is a product I always wanted to try. I heard so much great reviews about the product which led to my interest. I was so thankful to have the opportunity to try out XTEND Ripped for the first time. I have used this brand in the past but not this specific product. In comparison to other BCAAs on the market this product succeeded my expectation. The product provides essential electrolytes, promotes muscle growth and support with recovery time. The only con I have about this product is the results takes quite awhile to appear. Overall, I would definitely buy this product again in the future to supplement with other sports nutrition products.
