ScivationXtend - Grape Escape, 30 Servings 13.8oz

A lot of supplements make claims about effects that are not immediately, if ever, observable. This is not one of them. When I first started taking this, I immediately noticed that I could go longer during cardio/strength oriented routines such as P90x and Insanity. I continued to drink this as my workouts evolved to running and weight lifting. Despite always being a terrible runner (I simply never felt that "runner's high", was never able to run very far, and was usually miserable) my runs, while never really increasing too far in distance, seemed to require less effort, making them more tolerable.But the real difference, came in my weight training. Being 44 years old, I was surprised at how quickly I went up in weights, how muscular I was getting, and how little soreness I had. I've lifted weights on and off for nearly 30 years, and suddenly I was lifting, in some cases, more than I ever had. Now, full disclosure: shortly before I started using Xtend, I also began taking creatine. This absolutely resulted in a strength and muscle gain. So once I started taking Xtend, I wondered how much of my performance gains I could attribute to the creatine. I felt the cardio-related gains were definitely the result of the Xtend, but the strength gains could have been the continuing results of the creatine.UNTIL I stopped taking Xtend. That was about a month ago, in part due to budgetary restraints and partly because I wasn't sure anymore if Xtend was really helping my time in the gym all that much. In the past month, however, the weight I lift in many of my exercises has slowly dropped, my endurance has decreased (I'm more sluggish and my workouts simply seem more daunting), and worst of all, I'm feeling my age. My elbows and knees in particular are sore for days after a workout, whereas before there was virtually no soreness.I believe in supplements, but rarely have I found one that has shown so much observable evidence of its effectiveness. This past month, much to my surprise, has proven to me just how effective this product is, and I will absolutely be including this in my next supplement order with Amazon.******UPDATE 2-6-14: I purchased this again, and sure enough, my workouts are easier, I am much less sore, and am considerably stronger. This confirms what I already believed. This stuff just works.

This is my go to for bcaas and overall improvement of my workout. I take it before the gym and I feel an increase in energy and focus but it’s not a chemical based high like pre workout. I ran out and bought another brand while I waited for this to arrive and there was a big difference in my performance, happy to have Xtend back in my arsenal of products. Also, this taste just like grape kool aid!

I was looking for the older version of this product, they advertised the older version. The new version came instead. Which is horrible! I over paid hoping to get the good version not this reformulated junk.

Growing up with all medicine flavors as grape I was hesitant to try this flavor (I am very brand loyal to scivation xtend) but seeing as I've never been disappointed by their flavors I decided to give it a try. I am glad I did! This is the best grape flavor, not overpowering, not too sweet, it is perfect. I will definitely be ordering grape again in the future!

Love it! I've tried various pre and post workout supplements and this is by far the best. Mixes well with hot or cold water without a chalky taste. It sweet and has an after taste that reminds me of old school bubblishious. I have definatly seen an improvement in recovery time and ability to perform multiple workouts in a day. Only regret is I didn't buy a bigger supply.
