How do BCAAs work?
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, and as we're sure you're aware, proteins are the building blocks of the entire body, which play a huge part in muscle protein synthesis, for muscle building, growth, strength and recovery.
Branched-chain amino acids are considered essential to the body. This means we can't produce them naturally, and even though they make up a huge proportion of our muscle tissue, we rely on getting enough of these little guys from our diet (that means, eating lots of food high in protein like meat, dairy, eggs and fish).
BCAA supplements, like SciVation Xtend, is vital for anybody who takes their training seriously and/or people who are vegan or vegetarian (because there are fewer sources of protein available to you). Without sufficient amino acids, you simply can't fuel your overworked, damaged muscles and your training and recovery will suffer - big time.
Even if you have a diet super-high in protein, BCAA supplements will be incredibly beneficial to you. BCAA supplements are called free-form BCAA's. They're referred to as 'free' because the body can absorb these types of BCAA's much faster, compared to when it has to extract aminos from the whole proteins in your food, during digestion.
Plus, you can get a much higher concentration of free-form BCAA's at once - you'd have to ingest a huge plateful of food to get the same amount of BCAA's in a powdered form, and that's not always possible!
Why should I use SciVation Xtend BCAAs?
SciVation Xtend is capable of a lot more than your standard BCAA supplement.
From blocking off fatigue-inducing tryptophan, from entering the brain, promoting vasodilation (the dilation of blood vessels) to allow better absorption of protein, improving immune function, and digestive health - SciVation Xtend BCAA can do all sorts of weird and wonderful things.
This advanced blend may help to enhance ATP production (adenosine triphosphate), an organic compound responsible for carrying the energy used in all major cellular processes in the body, such as the movement and growth of muscles and nerves.
And, you know that feeling when your muscles are incredibly full and heavy after a workout? Yeah, that tight, swollen feeling is called cell volumisation and is an indication of muscle growth - SciVation Xtend may also help to encourage this (pretty cool, huh?).
Cell volumisation is the amount of water in your cells. This is an incredibly important process as it allows amino acids to physically enter the cell and encourages protein synthesis. When your muscles begin to swell (when the cells increase in volume) it simply means you've pushed your working muscles to their absolute limit - an indication that you've done a great job in the gym.

Should I take BCAAs on non-training days?
We recommend having at least 1 serving of BCAAs every single day. It's really important to enjoy your rest days from training, but having a rest shouldn't mean that your usual nutritional rules fly out the window.
You need to keep up with your supplements (even on days when you're taking a break from exercise) to ensure consistent results. Being disciplined on rest-days will ensure your hard work pays off much faster. Trust us, it's definitely worth it!
Do BCAAs have any side effects?
BCAA supplements are relatively safe and harmless and don't have any proven long-term side effects. However, on a rare occasion, some people can experience fatigue, headaches or nausea after taking them. If you feel unwell after taking BCAA supplements you must stop taking them immediately and speak to a healthcare professional.
Warning: If you have an underlying medical condition or if you're taking any prescribed medications, we recommend speaking to your doctor before taking any nutritional supplement.
