Xtend EAA - Lemon Lime, 336g (40 Serves)

Xtend EAA Blood Orange is Xtend's essential amino acid formula built for training and recovery, sitting in the Amino & BCAA category alongside Xtend's original three-amino line. Each 336g tub delivers 40 serves at 8.4g per scoop, mixed to a Blood Orange flavour for anyone who wants amino support without a protein shake in hand. It suits gym-goers training multiple times a week who want to sip something during sessions, and the headline spec is straightforward: 5g of aminos per serve, built around 1.5g of L-leucine.

How Xtend Amino & BCAA works

Muscle protein synthesis, the process your body uses to repair and build muscle tissue after training, is triggered largely by leucine availability. Xtend EAA Blood Orange supplies 1.5g of L-leucine per scoop alongside 750mg each of L-isoleucine and L-valine, the same branched-chain trio found in the original Xtend range, but here they're paired with the six remaining essential amino acids your body cannot produce on its own. That completeness matters: protein synthesis needs the full set of essential aminos present at once, not just the branched-chain three, to run efficiently.

Xtend EAA also carries sodium from pink Himalayan sea salt and potassium from potassium citrate, two electrolytes lost through sweat during training. Replacing them alongside amino intake supports hydration status through a session rather than leaving you to rely on water alone. This is why Xtend EAA Blood Orange is positioned as a during-training drink as much as a recovery one, aminos and electrolytes working side by side rather than as separate products.

Why choose Xtend EAA

Xtend EAA Blood Orange gives you a full essential amino profile in a low-calorie format, which is the main reason lifters move up from a plain BCAA. A few specifics worth calling out beyond what's already listed on this page:

• Sodium and potassium sit at meaningful per-serve levels (150mg and 120mg) rather than trace amounts, so the electrolyte support is real, not decorative.
• At under 1g of carbohydrate and 0g added sugar per serve, Xtend EAA Blood Orange fits low-carb and keto eating without derailing macros.
• Three flavours in the line, blood orange, lemon lime, and mango, mean you can rotate or match Blood Orange with a different flavour of the same formula if you buy more than one tub.

For anyone comparing amino products on nzsupps.co.nz, Xtend EAA earns its price point by being a complete nine-amino formula rather than a partial one.

Getting the most from it

Mix one scoop of Xtend EAA Blood Orange with water and sip it through your training session, then have a second serve later in the day if you're training twice or recovering from a heavy block. Because it carries no stimulants, timing is flexible. It works well started before a session and finished during it, and it stacks cleanly with a pre-workout from the pre-workout range or a daily creatine dose without duplicating ingredients.

On rest days, some people prefer their aminos over a full protein shake for a lighter option, or add a scoop of Xtend EAA Blood Orange to plain water alongside an electrolytes mix on hot training days.
