Some of you have wondered about the extra "stuff" you see on my nutrition log on MyFitnessPal. I can tell you that I have tried many, many supplements over the past 6 years. What I am taking now I feel is a worthwhile investment in my health and fitness goals and is affordable on my budget. I can't say it will work for you. I can't tell you that it's a magic bullet. I can attest that they are safe, don't cause GI side effects and seem to have helped me gain lean mass (i.e. some muscle) over the years. I drink. I drink ALOT. Believe it or not though, I don't like plain water. XTEND was the greatest find for me ever. It is advertised as an intra-workout catalyst with actual studies to support its efficacy. Some years ago I contacted Scivation to inquire if it was safe to drink XTEND with all my water and the answer was "yes". Now, I don't drink without it!!! Wish I owned some stock :-0 I carry a stash in my computer bag, my food bag, my suitcase, my car......everywhere. My favorite is Grape Escape but there are many wonderful flavors that you can try. XTEND is sugar-free and has a blend of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), leucine ang glutamine to help support muscle recovery and protein synthesis (muscle growth). If you want to give it a try you can purchase a variety pack from the Scivation website (http://www.scivation.com/XTEND.aspx) or from my go-to online nutrition store, Netrition (http://www4.netrition.com/scivation_xtend_new_formula.html).
Give it a try and let me know what you think.
