Yes Marc is the owner of scivation ! who make xtend
most bcaa drinks ,also dont contain glutamine or citrulline malate ,also there is 11.5g of free from aminos in xtend more than double than most bcaa powders 350000 people voted on bb.com for xtend as recovery product of the year in 2009 also won glutamine product of the year in 2008
its also been scientifically proven to add 4kg of muscle and lose 2kg of fat in 8 weeks
your body depletes bcaa and glutamine first during training
xtend gets this back in free form and citrulline malate increases endurance, imporoves the amino delivery and also enchances uptake and delays fatigue and the best part it tastes good to zero carbs zero suger zero stims

USN had an identical product called "BCAA Power Punch". Knowing them it was obviously a rip-off of Xtend but either way they dropped it from their line.

Asking this cause i see they claim that it is 2 x more effective than whey to make you grow
I would then assume that you can replace your post workout whey with this??

So if you use this as a post product do you still have to take your whey post workout as well?

Bud u still need ur whey to grow, that stuff is only bcaa's and that helps with growth aswell and also recovery. But ur major building block here is still ur whey.

Proteins are made up of amino acids. The difference between full spectrum amino acids and regular protein powders is that protein powders have fillers, sweeteners, dyes and extra carbohydrates. More than 20 amino acids are needed to build muscle, red blood cells, and hundreds of other molecules that sustain life. Your body can produce all but 8-10 amino acids which must be obtained through your diet or supplementation. A complete amino acid profile is needed by your body to reach your maximum fitness potential.
As with most nutrition, many bodybuilders overlook the importance of combining and inclusion of co-factors when supplementing. Below is a list of supplements that play a part in increasing the effectiveness of BCAA supplementation.
Chromium: The most desired form is picolinate which functions to increase the effectiveness of insulin, a hormone composed of 91 amino acids, manufactured in the beta cells of the pancreas. Insulin is the most essential link in the muscle building chain. Chromium enhances the rate at which protein is synthesized by the body, and promotes intracellular uptake of free amino acids from the blood and assimilation by the cells. It retards the rate of protein degradation by the body within the cells. This is an absolute must to include in a quality Branch Chain Amino formula. Learn more about chromium.
Zinc/Vitamin B-6: Zinc is the regulator of insulin. The natural co factor to this element is Vitamin B-6. As Vitamin B-6 is an important intermediary in amino acid metabolism; those athletes whose diets are high in amino acids need additional amounts from the body. The transport of amino acids in the cellular interior is most dependant on an adequate supply of Vitamin B-6. Learn more about zinc.
Vitamin B-12: Another important water soluble nutrient that must be present in the protein metabolism and in the synthesis of amino acids.
Blotin: This all important member of the B family has an important role in protein synthesis and the manufacture of glycogen.
Conclusion
Branched Chain Amino Acids are among the most beneficial and effective supplements in any sports nutrition program. Although these supplements have been around for a long time and the scientific understanding in the exercise performance benefits of BCAA supplementation is rich, many people don't know exactly how they exert their effects or how vital BCAA supplementation is.
One thing is definitely sure though, that anyone who is looking to put on more muscle or gain more energy naturally without any side effects should very seriously consider taking BCAA's.
