How It Works
During intense resistance training and prolonged aerobic exercise, working muscle fibres endure continuous microscopic trauma and deplete local energy reserves. If adequate amino acids are not circulating in the bloodstream, your body shifts into a catabolic state, breaking down existing muscle tissue to generate energy. Xtend Original floods your muscles with free-form BCAAs that bypass liver metabolism and enter the bloodstream immediately, halting catabolism in its tracks.
The potent concentration of L-Leucine actively triggers the mTOR pathway, the biological signal responsible for kickstarting muscle protein synthesis. Simultaneously, the inclusion of citrulline malate assists in promoting cellular endurance and waste removal, while the robust electrolyte blend restores essential minerals lost through sweat. This dual recovery and hydration mechanism preserves intracellular hydration, delays muscular fatigue, and significantly reduces delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) over the following days.
Recommended Use
Mix 1 level scoop (approx. 14g) with 300ml to 450ml of cold water in a shaker cup. Shake thoroughly until completely dissolved, adjusting water volume to match your personal flavour preference.
-
Intra-Workout: Sip continuously throughout your training session to maintain hydration and protect muscle tissue.
-
Non-Training Days: Consume 1 serving throughout the day or between meals to support ongoing muscle recovery and daily hydration.
Scivation Xtend BCAA Frequently Asked Questions
What is Scivation Xtend BCAA and what is its primary function?
Scivation Xtend is a globally recognized, premium intra-workout recovery supplement designed to be consumed during intense physical training. It functions as a dual-action performance matrix, supplying a heavy dose of Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) to support muscle tissue protection alongside an advanced electrolyte complex to optimize hydration levels while you sweat.
What is the exact BCAA ratio and dosage per serving?
Every standard 14g level scoop delivers a clinically validated 7g of pure Branched-Chain Amino Acids. Xtend utilizes the scientifically backed 2:1:1 absorption ratio, which breaks down to exactly:
L-Leucine: 3,500mg (3.5g) to directly stimulate muscle protein synthesis pathways.
L-Isoleucine: 1,750mg (1.75g) to assist in cellular glucose uptake and energy utilization.
L-Valine: 1,750mg (1.75g) to support muscle tissue coordination and reduce central fatigue during training.
What performance co-factors are added alongside the BCAAs?
Xtend goes significantly beyond basic amino acid powders by incorporating specialized metabolic recovery drivers into each serving:
Glutamine: 2,500mg (2.5g) of L-Glutamine to support cellular volume, gut health, and post-workout tissue repair.
Citrulline Malate: 1,000mg (1g) to support nitric oxide production, promoting vascular nutrient delivery and muscle pumps.
Electrolyte Blend: A 1,140mg mineral matrix featuring Sodium Chloride, Potassium Chloride, and Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate to replace vital mineral salts lost through perspiration.
Does Scivation Xtend contain any sugar, calories, or carbohydrates?
No. Scivation Xtend is completely sugar-free, carbohydrate-free, and calorie-free. This exceptionally clean nutritional blueprint makes it perfect for all dietary styles, allowing competitive athletes, bodybuilders, and fasting trainers to support muscle tissue recovery without adding extra macros or accidentally breaking a calorie-restricted phase.
Can I drink Xtend BCAA on non-training days?
Yes, absolutely. While it is highly effective when sipped during a grueling gym session or sports match, Xtend functions beautifully as a daily hydration enhancer on your rest days. Mixing a scoop into your water bottle throughout the day provides a steady stream of recovery aminos to muscle fibers while transforming plain water into a refreshing drink that makes hitting your daily fluid targets effortless.

Sprint Fit stocks Xtend in multiple sizes to fit your budget and training frequency:
30-Serving Tub: Provides 30 full 14g servings—ideal for trying out a variety of flavor variations.
90-Serving Bulk Tub: Yields a massive 90 full servings (delivering the absolute best long-term cost-per-scoop value to keep your gym pantry fully stocked for months).
What are the top-rated customer flavors available at Sprint Fit?

Top-selling favorites across New Zealand include Watermelon Explosion, Mango Maddness, Blue Raspberry Ice, Glacial Grape, and Strawberry Kiwi.
