Xtend - how long can it be mixed before it loses its potency

[joeyD198]

How long can I keep Xtend left mixed in water before it loses it potency? I usually sip on it throughout the day while on a cut and it usually sits in water for about 3 hrs. Just wondering if the Aminos are non effective after a certain period of time in water

The Solution (Scivation rep) said that it really doesn't matter, and that he does his the night before.

the amount of time bcaa's can remain stable in water is more likely to be measured in months or perhaps years, depending on the other ingredients involved

This. I have had multiple reps, and even formulators tell me they are remarkably stable. I mix mine the night before, to get rid of the leucine flakes.

Yes, I think Layne said you could leave them sit for easily 2-3 months without any issues and most likely longer as others have said

Thanks for the replys, I now feel alot better knowing im not losing the effectiveness of the aminos

Glut is slightly less stable I believe, but even so it easily will last the night... many nights even.

What about creatine? How long before it turns to creatinine in water?

depending on the ph of the water, somewhere in the realm of 6-8 hours i believe.

Drinking Size-on from the night before because the gym was closed... you could tell something was wrong lol

Thank you Sir! Yes you can let it sit for a day longer and there will be no negative side effects, so a few hours will not hurt the product at all. I prefer to do this so the product settles (some flavors do not disperse 100% right away, so this is why I do it)

No worries, mix it up a few hours before, let it chill, and rock it out in the gym. Thank you for the support.
