Elite Fraserade
XTEND
Overview
XTEND Elite Fraserade combines several well-researched ingredients for muscle recovery, endurance, and hydration. The BCAAs (L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine) are provided at robust doses, especially L-Leucine, which is key for muscle protein synthesis. CarnoSyn (beta-alanine) and Citrulline Nitrate are present at effective doses to support performance. The PeakO2® Performance Blend, an adaptogenic mushroom complex, offers potential benefits for oxygen utilization and power output, though its impact within this blend and at this specific dose requires more direct research. L-Glutamine and the electrolyte blend contribute to overall recovery and hydration.
The Good
Optimal BCAA Dosing: Provides a strong 2:1:1 ratio with 7g total BCAAs, effectively stimulating muscle protein synthesis and aiding recovery.
Effective Beta-Alanine Dose: 1600mg CarnoSyn® per serving contributes to carnosine levels, improving high-intensity exercise capacity and reducing fatigue.
Citrulline Nitrate for Performance: The 925mg dose supports nitric oxide production, enhancing blood flow and potentially improving endurance.
The Bad
Potential Underdosing of L-Glutamine: 2500mg may be beneficial for general gut health but is below the common clinical doses (5g+) for significant therapeutic effects in recovery or immune support.
Incomplete Mushroom Blend Transparency: While PeakO2® is a branded blend, the specific breakdown of individual mushrooms within the 2000mg blend is not disclosed, making it difficult to assess optimal dosing for each component.
Lack of Sugar Content Information: Although total carbohydrates are low (2g), the absence of explicit 'Total Sugars' amount leaves ambiguity for those monitoring sugar intake.
