Amino Acid Profile – The Clinically Studied 2:1:1 Ratio
XTEND Original BCAA features a scientifically validated 2:1:1 ratio of branched‑chain amino acids:
| Amino Acid | Amount per Serving | Primary Function |
|---|---|---|
| L‑Leucine | 3.5g | The key BCAA that directly activates muscle protein synthesis, driving muscle growth and repair |
| L‑Isoleucine | 1.75g | Supports glucose uptake into cells, enhances endurance, and aids in muscle recovery |
| L‑Valine | 1.75g | Helps prevent muscle breakdown, supports energy production, and promotes mental focus during exercise |
| L‑Glutamine | 2.5g | Supports immune function, reduces muscle catabolism, and enhances glycogen storage |
| Citrulline Malate | 1g | Boosts nitric oxide production, improves blood flow, reduces fatigue, and enhances exercise performance |
| Vitamin B6 | 3.7‑5.5mg | Supports protein metabolism, neurotransmitter function, and red blood cell production |
The Power of the 2:1:1 Ratio – Why It Matters
The 2:1:1 ratio of Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine is the most clinically researched BCAA ratio available. Leucine acts as the primary trigger for muscle protein synthesis, while Isoleucine and Valine support endurance, prevent muscle breakdown, and provide additional anabolic support. This precise ratio ensures that your muscles receive the optimal combination of amino acids for recovery, growth, and performance.
Added Performance Ingredients – Beyond BCAAs
XTEND Original doesn‘t stop at BCAAs. The formula is enriched with a synergistic blend of performance‑enhancing ingredients:
-
L‑Glutamine (2.5g): The most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue, glutamine helps:
-
Reduce muscle breakdown during intense training (anti‑catabolic effect)
-
Support immune system function, especially during periods of high training volume
-
Enhance glycogen storage and recovery post‑exercise
-
-
Citrulline Malate (1g): A powerful nitric oxide precursor that:
-
Increases blood flow to working muscles (better pumps and nutrient delivery)
-
Reduces fatigue and perceived exertion during high‑intensity exercise
-
Enhances athletic performance and endurance
-
-
Vitamin B6 (3.7‑5.5mg): An essential cofactor for protein metabolism that:
-
Supports the efficient utilization of amino acids for muscle repair
-
Aids in neurotransmitter production for better mind‑muscle connection
-
Contributes to normal energy metabolism and red blood cell formation
-
Electrolyte Hydration Matrix – 1,140mg Blend
XTEND Original contains a proprietary blend of five essential electrolytes to support hydration, muscle function, and cramp prevention:
| Electrolyte | Primary Function |
|---|---|
| Sodium | Maintains fluid balance, supports nerve transmission, and prevents cramping |
| Potassium | Regulates muscle contractions, supports nerve impulses, and maintains electrolyte balance |
| Calcium | Essential for muscle contraction, bone health, and nerve signaling |
| Magnesium | Supports muscle relaxation, energy production, and protein synthesis |
| Phosphorus | Helps buffer lactic acid and supports ATP regeneration |
Staying hydrated during exercise is critical for performance, and the electrolyte blend in XTEND Original helps replace what‘s lost through sweat, keeping you performing at your best even during the longest training sessions.

Q: Does XTEND Original help with weight loss?
A: XTEND Original supports weight loss indirectly by helping preserve lean muscle mass during calorie‑deficit diets. BCAAs can also improve workout performance, allowing you to burn more calories per session. For targeted fat‑loss support, consider XTEND Ripped which contains CLA, L‑Carnitine, and Capsimax.
