So i've been taking xtend for the past couple of weeks but noticed bloat and stomach problems with the product with anything more then 1 serving. Turns out it was the sucralose that has been causing me the problems, so i ordered some bulk bcaa's, glutamine, and citrulline malate in order to mix with one serving of xtend [15g of bcaa's, 4.5g of glutamine, 2g of citrullne malate, and i serving of xtend- 7g of bcaa's, 2.5g of glutamine, and 1g of citrulline malate]. I've been on this mixture the last couple of workouts and have not noticed any problems.
When switching over to this mixture of mine i have noticed something rather weird during my workouts. For the first 20 minutes or so i will have extreme energy, feeling like i cannot fatigue. About the 25 minute mark or so i will notice an INSTANT sharp drop off in energy. Finishing the workout then becomes a choir. I did not notice this while on 3 servings of xtend [had energy throughout the entire workout], nor did i notice this prior to the use of xtend or free form amino acids [fatigue would set in during the workout but it was more linear]. Could it be caused by the reduction of sugar, i believe xtend has 1g or sucralose per serving, or could it actually be the citrulline malate that's causing this problem? I'm at a lost at the moment.
