Xtend - Blue Raspberry Ice, 405g (30 Serves)

Xtend Blue Raspberry Ice, 1.26kg (90 Serves) is a stimulant-free amino and BCAA formula from Xtend, built for training days and rest days alike. Each 13.5g scoop delivers 7g of branched-chain amino acids in the studied 2:1:1 ratio, 3500mg of that as L-leucine, the amino most tied to muscle protein synthesis. If you train hard, sweat heavily, or simply want a sugar-free way to sip something through a session, Xtend Blue Raspberry Ice, 1.26kg (90 Serves) gives you a straightforward tool for that.

How Xtend Amino & BCAA works

The three branched-chain amino acids in Xtend Blue Raspberry Ice, leucine, isoleucine and valine, are metabolised directly in muscle tissue rather than the liver, which is part of why they're taken during or around training rather than digested slowly like a meal. Leucine in particular acts as a signal for muscle protein synthesis, and at 3500mg per scoop it sits at a dose commonly used in BCAA research. Isoleucine and valine round out the 2:1:1 ratio at 1750mg each, supporting the same recovery pathway.

Xtend also carries 2500mg of L-glutamine per serve, an amino acid the body draws on heavily during intense or prolonged exercise. Alongside the aminos sits an electrolyte pairing of 220mg sodium and 170mg potassium, minerals lost through sweat that help maintain fluid balance. Because the formula carries no calories, sugar or carbs per serve, it adds aminos and electrolytes to your water without adding anything else.

Why choose Xtend

Xtend Blue Raspberry Ice, 1.26kg (90 Serves) is Informed Choice certified, which matters if you compete in a tested sport or simply want assurance around what's in your scoop. It's also formulated without caffeine, so it fits into a training session any time of day without affecting sleep. A few specifics worth knowing before you buy:

• Informed Choice certified, relevant for athletes under anti-doping testing
• 90 serves per 1.26kg tub, giving a long runway before repurchase
• Vitamin B6 at 0.64mg per serve (38% DV), included alongside the amino and electrolyte blend

The Blue Raspberry Ice flavour sits in a wider Xtend line that also includes Glacial Grape, Lemon Lime Squeeze, Mango Madness, Strawberry Kiwi Splash and Watermelon Explosion, so if this profile isn't your usual, there are other options in the same amino and BCAA range.

Getting the most from it

Mixed in a shaker or bottle, Xtend Blue Raspberry Ice, 1.26kg (90 Serves) works well sipped through a training session, but the stimulant-free formula also holds up on rest days when you're leaning on the glutamine and electrolytes for recovery and hydration rather than a workout boost. If you're already running a pre-workout and want something to carry into and through the session itself, Xtend fills that gap without adding more stimulant on top.

It also pairs cleanly with a daily protein routine, since the two work on different timelines, aminos during and around training, protein across the rest of the day. Keep the tub sealed and scoop with dry hands to protect the powder, and if you're building out a broader routine, the full amino and BCAA range and the rest of the catalogue are worth a browse.
