Product Review: Scivation Xtend

Recovery... such a simple word but one that has had many meanings to me. I won't go off a tangent now so recovery in a fitness context would simply mean the process of repairing the body after sustaining stress. It's always been a battle for me due to my frequent badminton sessions and can literally be a pain in the ass, especially for back-to-back sessions.

I decided to try the best glutamine for 2007, AKA Scivation Xtend since it claims to have a precise blend of BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio; glutamine, citrulline malate and vitamin B6, thus keeping the body fuelled for endurance while preventing muscle breakdown during a workout. I was advised to sip the product as I workout to give my body a steady supply.


crummy pics yet again..


Flavour of choice: Refresing grape. I'm beginning to like Scivation products cos they taste great. But then again, most recovery drinks are designed to taste great bcos the last thing you'll want is a goddamn shitty-tasting mix to bugger you at the end of a great workout. Anyway, no complaints.

I made a mental note to gauge the effects of this supplement and upon waking the next day... well... I don't feel as bad as I should, but I guess that's fair. It'll be miraculous if I woke up acheless after my usual badminton sessions. Too early to judge this one. I might be updating based on my experience.

In the meanwhile, all I can think of is this

heat knuckle.... extend!
