Scivation Xtend vs. USP Modern Bccas: END THIS NOW

[BIQB3N]

Other than taste, which is the better product.
Modern has the 8:1:1
Xtend has 2:1:1

ONLY ANSWER IF YOU'VE TRIED BOTH

[The Solution]

What is considered better? To each individual that will differ on what THEY want in the formula.

Please read this regarding the BCAA Ratio:
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=139575333

I would opt for Xtend.. Why?
- 6 Years of awards (BCAA, Recovery, Glutamine Product of the year)
- Comes in 6 different Flavors
- Bonded CM, Electrolyes, BCAA's, Glutamine, and B6 to aid in performance, endurance, and recovery.
- Top 3 seller on bb.com for a reason the people love it and continue to swear by it. Give it a shot because most feedback if you use the "Search Button" shows that in multiple Xtend vs Modern threads that Xtend reigns supremee. Both are great products but its personal preference.

You made the title seem as though this is a huge debate. Xtend > Modern BCAA's due to the profile, price, and taste; might as well buy bulk leucine if you consider Modern BCAA's.

Modern bcaa's is better, x-tend has gluctose which is a disaster for fat loss

[snorkelman]

Out of all the products to compare, this is a strange pairing.

The ratios are different.

Even if that were not the case, the mixability alone is a deal killer for me regarding Modern BCAAs. My experience was that they were terrible at mixing.

Sorry bud, there is no Glucose or carbs in Xtend, it is carb free. If that is what you are trying to say (spelling error). That would be false information. We actually took out 200g of Flavoring/Food Coloring in the new formula to aid in a more refreshing taste that has the product on 4 week backorder in our warehouse due to the overwhelming sales.

There are no carbs in xtend, and pretty sure you mean glucose :P (which if it was a carb in xtend, it would most likely be dextrose anyway).

That, and there's actually data behind the 2:1:1 ratio of BCAA's found in xtend, and no real independent research on the 8:1:1 ratio used in the modern BCAA's.

I cant stop laughing right now...Oh man it hurts.

To OP, IMO this is hands down Xtends battle to win, no question.

lol

So everyone loves Xtend, but im still not convinced..

is it thatt much of a difference regarding size and strength gains, im not so worried about using it as an intra workout energy booster.. my pre does plenty
all that being said, should i just stick with the bulk leucine?

(wtf so funny powercage?.. thanks for the free samples btw!)

[xStevenx]

Out of those two the only option hands down is Xtend.

You will not see strength and size gains from a BCAA product btw.

No, not at all, you will not see either of these from simply adding a peri-workout product. Recovery wise, possibly, but the difference is usually due to the extras added to the various products. Don't expect any increased energy, and this will not happen (unless you go with ON EA Energy trololol).

Thanks for making me spit water all over my keyboard troll

Just bit the bullet and bought apple xtend and...it tastes like candy! haha. I dig it.

The Solution bro, your relentless backing helped sway me into getting this before the sample packs came out. Used it tonight for the first time and I liked it.
Thanks bro!

First of all, anyone who claims that you will get size and strength gains from Xtend or any free form BCAA product used intra workout is probably full of it. The science does not support that yet. There is one study that is not published that claims Xtend's older formulation gave amazing gains. The key is that study is not published yet. Many people would love to see that study published and subjected to peer review. Thus far Stoppani doesn't seem too interested in getting it published.

All that being said, you need to realize that Xtend is not just free form BCAAs. It has several other ingredients. One of those is cit.mal. There is beginning to be evidence building on cit.mal, but it is premature to make any definite statements such as those that we can make about something that has a mountain of science behind it such as creatine mono.

...should i just stick with the bulk leucine?

No. That seems to be a common misconception out there. If you only supp with leucine, it will probably result in a drop in valine and isoleucine concentrations. You can prevent that drop by making sure any supplemental leucine is accompanied by valine and isoleucine (a.k.a BCAAs).

I really like Xtend. I'm buying up the old 30 serving tubs for 14 bucks a piece and drinking it like water.
Old watermelon is the best flavor I've tried. Got some old blue raspberry on the way. The new grape is decent as well, better formula, taste is good when cold.

Sofa king this. Got it yesterday and I think I've used half of the container already.

Where are you finding the old kind for that cheap? I have yet to try Xtend and after seeing so many people comment negatively on the taste of the new formula I definitely want to try the old before the new. I Googled it and didn't see it for $14 anywhere.

I bought 2 for that price recently ($14 ea). Not allowed to mention competitor sites bro.

Guys, thanks so much for the feedback and Rob I told you buddy! Apple is a HUGE hit as well as Lemon Lime, give LL a shot after you run through Apple!
