Reddit mentions of Scivation Xtend Refreshing Blue Raspberry 418-Grams

Nope, raspberry.

I ordered some unflavored whey, hoping that will do the trick.

Here is a breakdown of the supplements I have found to have the most backing. I put this together for a friend.

• Supplement Creatine
  
• Dosage 5-10g
  
• When to take it Anytime but on an empty stomach and after workout are best.
  
• How it works Phosphate produced from creatine is needed for regenerating adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules, which is the main fuel for the enzyme motors of the muscle in initial high-intensity muscle activity. This lets you push harder and workout longer.
  Benefits Improved exercise performance involving short bursts of intense exertion, Increased muscle mass, and improved recovery from exercise, both speeding muscle repair and easing pain and soreness.
  
• Tips You must drink plenty of water and it may cause digestive issues at first.
  
• Where to buy it http://www.amazon.com/Creatine-Monohydrate-100%25-Pure-Powder/dp/B000QSMN4W/

• Supplement Beta-Alanine
  
• Dosage 2.5g twice a day
  
• When to take it Anytime but on an empty stomach and after workout are best.
  
• How it works Much of Beta-Alanine’s effects come through boosting the synthesis of an intramuscular dipeptide (two amino acids) called carnosine. To function effectively, muscle cells rely on the powerful intracellular buffer carnosine to avoid becoming acidic (low pH) during exercise. If you want your muscles to remain strong and maintain powerful contractions, they need to be in an optimal pH range. If they don’t and the pH drops below that optimal level, you have significantly less strength and fatigue more quickly. You know this is happening when you feel that familiar burn in your muscles or even when you’re lifting heavy and reach muscular failure. Muscle pH has dropped and it’s largely a result of an increase in hydrogen ions (H+) which build up when you break down the high energy compound ATP during exercise.The breakdown of ATP and the subsequent rise in H+ concentrations occurs in our all of our energy systems but is most prevalent in an energy system called glycolysis which also produces lactic acid. Lactic acid releases H+ ions, contributing further to the pool of H+ that’s filling your muscles from the breakdown of ATP.
  Benefits Increase Muscular Strength & Power Output, Increases Muscle Mass, Increase Anaerobic Endurance, Increases Aerobic Endurance, Delay Muscular Fatigue- Train Harder & Longer.
  
• Tips The thing to watch out for here is if you take too much it makes your face and fingers tingle. There are more details in the article about why it causes tingling and how it isn't anything to worry about.

• Supplement BCAAs
  
• Dosage 8-16g
  
• When to take it Before and after workout
  
• How it works " While most essential amino acids are absorbed through the small intestine and metabolized in the liver, the bulk of the BCAAs are directly absorbed by muscle, serving there to provide nitrogen (NO) for the formation of autochthonous proteins. The BCAA are incorporated into the structure of new muscles. Therefore, you can think of Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine as the raw building blocks of muscle tissue. That in itself is reason enough to take branched chain amino acids supplements, but the branched chain amino acids promote the growth and retention of muscle tissue in a number of other ways.
  
  
  "
  Benefits From numerous studies it is clear that BCAA's have a significant role in increasing overall conditioning factors such as aerobic and anaerobic capacities, by improving physiological markers such as: red blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum albumin, fasting glucose levels, a decrease in creatine phophokinase, increased glycogenesis, and even rapid alleviation of muscle inflammation. Other positive attributes associated with BCAA's as shown by current scientific literature includes: increased muscle recovery especially after intense eccentric exercise, alleviation of short term decrements in performance commonly associated with overreaching, improvements in plasma levels of BCAA's (often linked with fatigue), and may aid in the healing of injuries, sickness, and trauma. There may also be strength and muscle mass increases accompanied by BCAA supplementation. However, further research is needed to determine whether this is a direct or indirect effect of BCAA supplementation.
