Scivation have been around in the industry for decades and are pioneers of free-from branched chain amino acids. They knew the importance of instantised aminos for the rate of muscular growth and recovery which is why they created Xtend, the original BCAA supplement that delivered great taste for the first time in a BCAA supplement. 17 years later and their Xtend product is still the number 1 bcaa product sold worldwide!

Since that original groundbreaking supplement, Scivation have continually released variations of Xtend designed to enhance endurance (Xtend Endure/Perform), enhance fat loss (Xtend Ripped) and so forth. Xtend Energy is designed as a replacement for the brand's previous attempt at an energised amino supplement, Xtend Go, which contained both amino acids and caffeine.

Variation on a Theme

From discussions with the company that owns Scivation, Nutrabolt, they confirmed that one of the reasons for reformulating and renaming Xtend Go was for the simple fact that Xtend Energy more accurately explains the product's use case and follows the naming methodology of most energised amino supplements such as the first in the category, Amino Energy by Optimum Nutrition.

The actual formula change from Xtend Go is minor with the major difference being a reduction in caffeine from 200mg per serving to 125mg but the key part of the formula, seven grams of bcaa's per serving does not change. Xtend Energy is a solid product that can be used as a pre-workout supplement as well as during your workouts or as an all-day long pick-me-up replacing energy drinks. With added electrolytes, Xtend Energy promotes optimal cellular hydration and reduces the risk of muscle cramps throughout the workout.
