I used it on my major cut from 320 to 228, and during that time I was cutting crazy cals (was eating 1600 towards the end of the cut smh), jacked up my hormones and stuff BUT still had a decent amount of muscle left, dont know if that was just genetics or the BCAAs helped.

The BCAA's certainly help with recovery. Last summer I was cutting at 1,800 calories because I needed to cut quick for a vacation. That low of calories and my type of lifting and cardio I was doing caused a lot of soreness. Started using Xtend again and that really helped with less soreness and just overall not feeling burnt out.
Progressive overload + progressive eating = gains. Simple as that!

Appreciate the support. We don't get talked about as much, as it has been the same product for awhile. It isn't overly sexy. Just dosed properly, tastes good and comes in many sizes. We're at 10 total flavors, 2 sizes, stick packs and 5 servings. Best selling BCAA over past 10 years and has won around 8 awards via bb.com. Sometimes being old isn't sexy, but it is effective.

I think the only reason I left Xtend was because as you say it was old and proven and didnt have any buzz so to speak, kind of like Orange triad the Multi, its one of those products you just always buy so you dont see threads saying "omg dis rocks" every week because people have always used it. After I had finished a 90 serving Mango Nectur tub, I tried Intrabolic, SizeOn, and currently finishing up some AminoBuild and some Aminolast, these were all good but from a value standpoint its hard to beat Xtend imo.

Yes, you would have swore I beat people's mother with a baseball bat with the way some acted. Out of 6 flavors, we had one flavor dominate. With the change, we took out over half a pound of flavoring from some flavors. We added the electrolytes in and increased the quality of the raws going into it. That was 3 years ago. Now, we have balance amongst the flavors with no flavor outselling the other by more than 10% on a worldwide basis. It cool to see how some flavors do really well in some places and other don't.
We are working on 2 new flavors. One will release this year. We'll likely open pineapple up to US distribution within 10 weeks. One of the flavors we're trying to nail down is very difficult, but should be really cool if we hit it.I used to own things.

Our flavors are sweet tasting. My favorites, in no particular order: Mango, Green Apple, Blue Raz and for a change up, Pink Lemonade. Everyone likes something different. Just play around with the water amounts to find the right combo for you. Some like it hyper sweet, some don't.

Xtend was the first BCAA product I ever bought (decided to make the purchase when I wanted to cut some weight, usually dont purchase BCAA's). I bought it because of all the good things I had heard and the profile was promising. This was before the new flavours, but I purchased blue raz. Was definitely not disappointed. Still my favourite to date.

It's mentioned quite a bit. It's built up a reputation of being the tried and true for a BCAA product. It's not an overly done profile, just gives you what you need in the correct amounts. You'll see more of it being recommended than fresh talk of it.
Awesome results! Congrats. There were various factors, but I have no doubt BCAAs preserved some muscle. During a deficit is when they work best. My cuts have been so much better once I started using Xtend. The final product is much different when you carry more lean mass to end with.
Thank you for the support! We took the old, slightly revamped it and made some tweaks to better it.
Personally, the new flavors are much more refreshing than the old. Plus our new flavors are just awesome.
