Straight Up Review

This product received mixed reviews. The consumers who liked this product really liked it, while others reported it did absolutely nothing for them. Some consumers reported great recovery results and the ability to increase the length of their workouts, while others found that Xtend aided in their recovery but didn't help them extend their training sessions. Some found that the product did not contain enough of certain ingredients to make an impact. Many reviewers commented that the powder mixed great with water and had a good taste, but they were also concerned about the high price, considering that most users needed to take six scoops per workout.
