Elite Citrus Passionfruit
XTEND
Overview
XTEND Elite Citrus Passionfruit combines several ingredients with established roles in athletic performance and recovery. While the BCAAs are present at effective doses, and Beta-Alanine and Citrulline Nitrate are included at relevant amounts, the efficacy of the PeakO2 blend's individual components (mushrooms) at the given dose for overall athletic performance needs more independent, robust clinical validation.
The Good
Effective BCAA Dose: Offers a substantial 7g of BCAAs (2:1:1 ratio of Leucine:Isoleucine:Valine), which is well-researched for muscle protein synthesis and recovery.
CarnoSyn Beta-Alanine: Includes a clinically studied form of beta-alanine to enhance muscular endurance and reduce fatigue.
Electrolyte Support: Provides essential electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium) to aid in hydration and prevent muscle cramps.
The Bad
Proprietary PeakO2 Blend: The specific amounts of individual mushrooms within the 2g PeakO2 blend are not disclosed, making it difficult to ascertain their effective dosing and true impact.
Beta-Alanine Tingling Sensation: The CarnoSyn may cause paresthesia, a tingling sensation, which some users find uncomfortable.
Lower Citrulline Dose: While present, the 1g of Citrulline Nitrate is on the lower end compared to doses often used for significant performance enhancement (e.g., 6-8g of Citrulline Malate).
