Universal Nutrition's answer to Scivation's Xtend? No doubt that the latter has garnered considerable success as an intra workout supplement, revolutionizing the way gym rats fuel their precious bodies to combat catabolism during a heavy workout; so it is no surprise that everyone is jumping on the same bandwagon.
I'm a big fan of Xtend, it's simply fantastic. So the bar is set against this contender. I tried a sample pack to gauge the product.
In terms of formula, Intra-Aid has a lot to boast about. It combines not only BCAA's and glutamine, but also contains beta alanine, carbs and protein. Awesome. Once convinced that my body's getting the right stuff, the next aspect is taste.
The stuff mixes quite easily. Just a couple of swirls in the shaker and it's good to go.
Blue raspberry flavour. Gosh, that can't be very natural. It looks like car radiator fluid. lol
I took a swig and am immediately greeted by a very subtle "milky" fruity tangy taste. It's decent but does take awhile to acclimatize to. I fear that in their effort to provide the right nutrients in a product, doing so has complicated things for the flavouring tech department.
Anyway, like I always say, taste is really a matter of personal opinion. I could be wrong. Furthermore, taste is secondary if you're serious about your body. What's important is the right nutrients.
