Xendurance Essential Review

Essential and Extreme Endurance are the same product

This is the thing you have to understand before anything else. Essential and Extreme Endurance are literally the exact same product. There are just two packages. Xendurance didn't change the formula at all, they changed the bag.

So this page isn't really about which one is better. It's about which bag you should buy.

Why there are two bags

Extreme Endurance is the flagship Xendurance product. The founder made it for performance, to help athletes buffer lactic acid, and it's been put through multiple clinical studies since then.

The problem is the name. Your grandma isn't going to buy something called Extreme Endurance, because she's going to tell you she doesn't need extreme endurance. The name was a bit abrasive to everyday people.

So Xendurance launched Essential, which is the same thing with a name that's easier for most people to get behind. It's also the anchor of their Foundation bundle.

What Xendurance says it does

These are the company's numbers, not anything I measured. Xendurance says the formula has been clinically shown to reduce oxidative stress by 39 percent in as little as 10 days, and to cut lactic acid by 26 percent.

Lactic acid is the easy one to explain. If you've ever worked out, you know that soreness that builds up while you're moving. That's the part the 26 percent figure is about.

Oxidative stress is harder, and most people get a glazed look when I say it. The way I explain it is an apple. Cut one open and let it sit, and it starts to brown. That browning is oxidation. Xendurance's pitch is that the same kind of thing happens to your cells, and this formula is aimed at that.

If you want to test it for yourself, the best way I know is to take it for a while, then come off of it and see how you feel.

My parents are the proof

I showed these products to my parents, and they both got on them. My dad has always been an athlete. My mom has never been an athlete, and she will not go a day without her Essential.

They took Extreme Endurance before that, mostly because I'm their son and they trusted me. Once they saw the Essential bag, that's what they stuck with. Same product, the packaging is just a little more appealing to them.

What you should know about my videos

I made both of these in 2022 as a Xendurance team leader. One is a short product overview. The other is a longer talk where I walk through the product and the science Xendurance has behind it.

Neither one is a long-term test I ran on myself on camera. If that's what you're looking for, I don't have it for this product.

Which one should you buy?

If you train hard or care about performance, buy Extreme Endurance. If you want it for everyday health, or you're buying for a parent who would never pick up a bag that says Extreme Endurance, buy Essential.

It's the same stuff either way, so don't buy both. Xendurance has a 60-day money back guarantee if it turns out it's not for you.
