Have been lurking around reading the forums for a while and have been really inspired by everyone,so decided to jump on the wagon…Some help with the following would be greatly appreciated:
I am about 13 weeks out from my 2nd comp, and have always used the Nutrabolics Growth Factor for Amino’s to sip during training. I have decided to change to Scivation Xtend after reading so much about it. I received it yesterday and the Grape flavour is awesome. Just wondering if anyone thinks that there might be too much sugar in it for during comp prep???
It was really sweet compared to what I am used to and I was just a bit worried about the sugar content.
Also, I take BSN NO Explode just before my work out, which I find really helps, but do I still need a creatine supp. as well??
From reading the label, I don’t see where there’s any sugar in it. It does include citrulline malleate which is a very interesting and beneficial compound, I’m somewhat surprised Biotest hasn’t produced anything with the compound in it.
If you’re taking NO Xplode, I would still take 5 grams of creatine post workout.
If you’re in need of BCAA’s the store is a click away in green at the top nav. The Biotest BCAA tabs are great. I also find that if I get enough sleep, I don’t need a stimulant, and Power Drive is a great pre-workout supplement.

It looks like Xtend is a BCAA product. It has no sugar. I think you’re just tasting the sucralose artificial sweetener they put in.
