weird, never had that problem, did you chug a lot pre workout or something? what else do you have pre-workout?

What good would 6 scoops be anyway? Why would you (or anyone) need 21 gram of BCAA at one occasion?

Lots of small particles in a small amount of liquid may upset your stomach but I guess in the case of Xtend and some american products maybe you're sensitive against some of the food colorings? For instance I have the Xtend watermelon which has Red #40 here which is a banned color within EU, same goes for the second color in Vasocharge whatever that one was called, and so on. I don't remember which one is in the lemonade but guess it may be true there to.

Though I have no idea, maybe you consume those colors in other products and are just fine. Anyway some of them seem to be quite cancerogenic (the one in vasocharge when injected in mice/rats under the skin gave them cancer on those places if I remember correctly, which I most likely do ..) and I guess it would be possible to be allergic/sensitive to them as with a lot of other products.

I actually have a similar issue with Xtend - I'm taking it with VasoCharge...I wrote to those guys at SciVation and they told me to use more water (like 24oz) and then sip it during my workout. But I still had the same issue - so what I'm going to do now is:

1 Scoop of VasoCharge (30-45 mins before) in 20 oz of water
3 Scoops of Xtend in 20 oz after my workout.

Also, I would DEFINITELY say do NOT chug this stuff - sip it as directed...

Hope this helps!
