A fermentation-derived performance ingredient designed to support training intensity over time
Every so often, NXT identifies an ingredient that hasn’t yet entered mainstream—but shows clear signs it will. XtraMyo™ is one of those ingredients.
Think of this as discovering an IPO before it hits the public markets. XtraMyo™ is commercially viable, technically sound, and scalable—yet still largely absent from Western pre-workout formulations. For brands focused on intelligent innovation rather than incremental reformulation, this is the kind of early signal that matters.
What Is XtraMyo™?
XtraMyo™ is a fermentation-derived functional ingredient developed by Sunway Biotech, a Taiwan-based biotechnology company with established leadership in fermentation technologies and large-scale microbial manufacturing. Its ongoing work reflects a broader push toward scalable, science-led innovation in functional ingredients.
XtraMyo™ is designed to support sustained muscular performance during training, helping maintain output and training intensity as workouts progress. Rather than driving stimulation or pump, XtraMyo™ operates at the muscle-performance layer, supporting how muscle performs under repeated effort and stress.
For formulators and brands, this positions XtraMyo™ within an underdeveloped category of sports nutrition ingredients—those focused on training durability and performance retention, not just early-session output.
A Smart Ingredient for Smarter Pre-Workout Formulas
Most pre-workout formulations emphasize stimulants, pump agents, and short-term performance enhancers. What’s often missing is support for ongoing performance consistency across the full training session.
XtraMyo™ fits directly into this gap. It functions as a performance-sustaining component, supporting training intensity later into the workout rather than contributing to an early peak followed by drop-off. This makes it especially relevant for modern pre-workout formulas designed around balance, usability, and long-term training quality.
How XtraMyo™Complements Creatine
Creatine remains foundational for strength and power, particularly early in training. However, as fatigue accumulates, output often declines—especially during higher-volume or longer sessions.
XtraMyo™ addresses a complementary part of the performance curve. While creatine supports force production, XtraMyo™ supports performance sustainability, helping maintain intensity and output as training progresses.
Used together, the ingredients support both early-session power and later-session performance retention, creating a more complete and intentional performance profile.
Synergies That Make Sense
XtraMyo™ integrates cleanly with ingredients already common in sports nutrition formulas, including:
- Creatine – pairing power with sustained performance
- Beta-Alanine – supporting high-intensity, high-volume training
- Electrolytes – supporting performance stability during longer sessions
- Moderate stimulant systems – pairing stimulant-driven energy with sustained muscular output
Its low-dose inclusion (100mg per serving) allows it to be added without disrupting flavor systems, making it easy to integrate into existing formulations.
Why Brands Should Pay Attention Now
XtraMyo™ is not yet widely visible in U.S. or EU sports products, creating a clear opportunity for early adopters. Backed by Sunway Biotech’s fermentation expertise and manufacturing capabilities, the ingredient is positioned for significant commercial adoption as awareness continues to grow.

NXT Takeaway
Some ingredients make noise. Others quietly change how formulas are built. XtraMyo™ clearly belongs to the second group.
