Cheaper alternative to xtend?

[StuartH.]

Going to be moving out soon and enter a new world of expenses. Curious to know what you guys reccomend for an alternative to xtend that's easier on the wallet.

BC+EAA can be had quite cheaply at the moment, and it comes with a solid profile. The grape is decent, but the strawberry kiwi is a bit better imo. Don't expect to be blown away by the taste, but compare it to the profile and price it's a great product.

AI's RecoverPro is also cheaper, and tastes great to boot. Atomic 7 from Universal is around 20 bucks too i think. Things like Core ABC and Intrabolic can be found at certain times for good prices.

[BenW22]

Universal A7 is generally pretty cheap and extremely tasty.

[AlexEG]

VPX Power Shock !

[Madevilz]

aminocore

cheapest bcaa per gram, pretty damn close to bulk.

How is aminocore cheaper than extend? 1000 g for 50 bucks

[dex26]

Power Shock. Best tasting and can be had here at bb.com for 20$ with the coupon.

[Mike McCandless]

With cheaper products come no testing, no prop 65 compliance, no bonded cm, etc etc. . Buy the old version of xtend, it is being blown out

[Liquid_diet]

If you're using Xtend as an intra, our IntraFuse is 45 servings with whole hydrolized proteins, anabolic leucine, and antioxidants

[StuartH.]

Thanks guys!! I'll be looking into all of theses as soon as I get back to my desktop computer

Remember you get what you pay for.

Bonded CM
Prop 65 Compliant
Electrolytes
BCAA's
Glutamine
B6

all coming from a NSF Facility that surpasses CGMP certification and has the edge in manufacturing/processing. Not to mention its a top selling BCAA product that holds multiple recovery products of the year awards to its name and the product is up for 5 awards this year at the Olympia as far as recovery/intra-workout beverage goes. There is a reason why people continue to utilize the product over and over again. There were also introduction sales to the new version of Xtend, and there will be stick pack sample packs being released in 8 weeks that give 5 servings of every flavor. They will be sold on bb.com (unsure of price) that is up to bb.com so everyone can try out 5 servings of each flavor to get a taste test of how much water they would need to suit their taste buds.

Agree it was just recently on Wheycheap twice within the last month here on bodybuilding.com

Im probably going to have to use an alternative as well. Use to normally buy 3 90 serving tubs at a time since I could usually find it for 36-40.
With the price increase now and the fact most places dont seem to have a good deal going, that wont be happening anymore.

this bought it on wheycheap a while back. Pretty good stuff

[TheWickerman]

hmm, i guess im the only one who knows of websites who sell quality bulk bcaa 1000g for under $40. add some crystal light and it tastes just as good as the rest. oh well, my win in the end...

[CanadianKush]

19.95 vpx power shock 28 servings

How is aminocore cheaper than extend? 1000 g for 50 bucks

It's cheaper PER GRAM of bcaa.

Aminocore - 111 Servings. 8g bcaa per serving

Xtend - 90 Servings. 7g bcaa per serving.

[triplewhammy]

Keep an eye out for Body Mortar sales.

[Mike McCandless]

Buy bulk bcaas. That is your best bet. Primaforce has a bulk bcaa as do others. Stick to a proven 2:1:1 formula. There is no proof the 4:1:1 or 8:1:1 are more effective. If anything there is research showing extra leucine has no benefit.

[Mike McCandless]

I will say, xteds pricing went up 1.00 from a 56.99 base wholesale to 57.99. We don't control pricing.

if moneys really tight I'd just cut off bcaa supps completely.

but best value is easily RecoverPro, I'm using it as my preworkout as I cycle off of my Guarana caps/beta-alanine powder for awhile

The bcaa's are should be taken in 2:1:1 The research shows that, so why go away from decades of research.

[Anthony21]

When it comes to supplements I don't like to settle for the lesser value of a product that is superior. If your moving out just budget & make sure you stick to that budget. If your budget allows you to have extra expenses i.e a tub of Xtend I would purchase it.

[TheWickerman]

how cone no one has addressed my suggestion of buying bulk bcaas elsewhere for way cheaper than any of these companies named thus far? is it bc youre all trying to support only the companies on bb.com? im genuinely curious bc theres no question that my suggestion is by far the cheapest.

Because once you factor in the cost of the crystal light the difference in price isn't that big and many would just prefer to pay that little bit extra for the convenience of having their bcaa's flavored already.

[GetHugeBrah]

SciFit has BCAAs on powder both flavored/unflavored and pill forms. I reccomend gettingg the unflavored as its way cheaper.

can you provide where this information is coming from? not trying to start a debate, but i havent seen anything that validates what you just said.

How cheap is it compared to the latter?

$40+$1.50=$41.50 for 100 servings of 10g bcaa. xtend was what, $56 for 90 seevings of 7g bcaas. i dont think its the same.
