Xtend BCAA Lawsuit Overview
The Xtend BCAA lawsuit alleges that Woodbolt Distribution, doing business as Nutrabolt, falsely claims that its Xtend BCAA supplements support muscle growth and recovery. Peer-reviewed studies have found that BCAAs actually decrease muscle protein synthesis and are incapable of building muscle on their own. The lawsuit cites expert testimony stating that BCAA supplements can negatively impact muscle protein synthesis due to their lack of all essential amino acids, potentially leaving users in a worse position than if they had not taken the product at all.
