Okay this is the second time I'm writing this...got logged out the 1st time for taking too long to write it. Fark...:frustrate
This will be my first public review of a product here. I've been an avid user of Scivation's Xtend for the past 2 months or so. Recently I received my order of 2 Cycle Supports, variety packs of AI's protein, and variety packs of Excell. So far, I have had a chance to try 4 of 6 flavors of AI's Excell. So far I've tried Punch, Lemon, Rasberry, and Mango. I still have Grape and Strawberry left.
In this review I will be comparing my experience with Anabolic Innovation's Excell vs. Scivation's Xtend.
FLAVORING - The flavoring in AI's Excell is rather mild compared to Xtend. When mixed, it has a taste similar to flavored water. I have been mixing 2 servings to 20 oz. of water, the same formula I was using for Xtend. Every flavor I have tried has a nice taste and is not overpowering at all. In my opinion, Excell could use a bit more punch in the flavor department but it could just be that I'm used to the strong flavoring in Xtend. I believe the flavoring was kept mild in AI's Excell so it would be more appealing to more peeps in general. Hey just use less water if you want more flavor, right? :cheers:
MIXABILITY - Scivation's Xtend, when mixed, leaves particles floating around and needs constant mixing to keep it uniform. On the other hand, AI's Excell, once mixed, has very little to no sediment and doesn't really seem to need any mixing after the initial mix (although by habit I always shake my mixer everytime I take a sip).
PERFORMANCE - I have not noticed any difference between taking Excell or Xtend. Both are quality products in my opinion.
VALUE - Well when comparing prices, AI's Excell wins. Cheaper at 1 kg and even cheaper at 2 kg. Another bonus of Excell is you have 6 flavors to choose from compared to the 2 flavors of Xtend. (I believe Xtend is now available in Lemon in addition to the Grape that has been out for some time..someone correct me if I'm wrong)
CONCLUSION - Anabolic Innovation's Excell is a quality product at the best value. You get to choose from 6 flavors that all taste great and they all mix well. I have had nothing but a great customer experience dealing with CROWLER at AI. They have good quality products that work and the customer service to match!
Now...what flavor to order? LOL, they are all good!
