Many thanks to the team and reps at Scivation for the opportunity to try and review Xtend Elite. Sour Gummy seems to be a more popular flavor, but I really love tropical flavors, so I chose to go with Island Punch Fusion!! And I am so glad I did.
PROFILE: 10/10
I was really excited to try this because of the profile. I already use Xtend during my workouts, and wanted to try Elite to see how the added Citrulline would affect me intra. I like the added Sensoril, as I am a fan of KSM-66 already. I really love the added electrolyte blend in Elite, to replenish what I sweat out. I don't perform nearly as well when I start to get low on electrolytes, as most people don't! The Beta Alanine is dosed at 1600mg, which is a relatively small dose. Many preworkouts also contain BA, so stacking Elite with those would be just fine.
MIXABILITY: 10/10
As with all other versions of Xtend I have used, it mixed perfectly in a shaker (no whisk needed). Minimal foaming. It settled just a tiny bit while I was working out, so a quick shake takes care of that.
TASTE: 10/10
I was blown away with the flavor. It is relatively sweet, especially compared to other versions of Xtend. I needed to mix it in about 22-24 oz of water to get the perfect sweetness. Right off the bat, I tasted the guava. I felt there might have been a touch of mango, and a nice pineapple flavor that comes through at the end. This is a far cry from other "punch" flavors I have ever had. It was really refreshing to sip on during my workout, and I wish I could drink it every day, just cause!
OVERALL: 9/10
What I noticed drinking Elite during my workout is that my pump was enhanced a bit, I had less fatigue at the conclusion of my workout, and I didn't feel so dehydrated at the end of my heavy sessions. I didn't drink more fluid overall than usual, but Elite kept my electrolytes in balance. I took a different preworkout several different times while using Elite, and noticed that my pump lasted longer after the session than it usually does. For me, the added Citrulline during the workout seems to really enhance that pump more than just using it preworkout. I haven't used the PEAKO2 very much in the past, so I can't honestly review its effectiveness for me. I think I is a great addition, and I want to explore it more. The flavor is an absolute home run. At about $1.33 a serving, it is a little spendy for an intra, but it is great for heavy sessions, and will be a staple in my house!
