Over 19 Times Better than Creatine
Increase Lean Muscle Mass
Increase Strength
Helps Decrease Fat
CELL-Tech, a revolutionary product
designed by MuscleTech Research and Development, is an advanced,
third-generation creatine supplement that has been scientifically
formulated to optimize the absorption of creatine into the muscle cells.
The result is a powerful cell-volumizing effect. Research studies have shown that when a muscle cell is “volumized”, it causes an anabolic response, which in turn, helps to stimulate muscle growth and strength.
In fact, CELL-Tech is clinically proven to be 19 times more effective than regular creatine. The CELL-Tech formula is patented and protected by both Worldwide and European patents.
Unfortunately in the past creatine products have had little or no scientific support and have never panned out for bodybuilders. But that has changed. MuscleTech Research and Development, Inc. has spent several years developing an advanced, third-generation creatine product - CELL-Tech - which their researchers describe as the biggest creatine breakthrough in the bodybuilding industry.
The advanced formulation of CELL-Tech is protected by two United States patents owned by MuscleTech, U.S. Patent 6,136,339, and U.S. Patent 5,968,900, as well as by European Patent EP798971. Further patents are also pending around the world, including based on published international application WO9618313. Scientific clinical research has shown CELL-Tech to be 19 times better than regular creatine monohydrate.1
How Creatine is Transported
The transport of creatine is mediated by the amount and efficiency of circulating insulin, the most powerful, anabolic hormone in the body. Early research performed by Dr. Paul Greenhaff formed the basis for consuming carbohydrates with creatine. In these studies, subjects took creatine with more than twice the amount of dextrose found in most creatine formulas on the market today and experienced a 60 percent greater creatine absorption compared to subjects taking creatine with water.2
Taking creatine with water does not stimulate insulin release because carbohydrates are needed to achieve this effect. Taking creatine with a glass of juice is better than simply taking your creatine with water, but an 8-ounce glass of juice simply doesn’t contain enough high-glycemic carbohydrates to significantly elevate insulin levels for optimum creatine absorption. CELL-Tech contains added ingredients which act as cofactors in creatine metabolism, along with the insulin-potentiating amino acid taurine.
Alpha
Lipoic Acid – The Secret to CELL-Tech's Success
MuscleTech has made an exceptionally effective creatine formula even
better by adding precisely 200 mg of alpha lipoic acid to each
serving. Research conducted in Germany indicates that alpha lipoic acid
may help move sugar into the muscle where it can be used as energy during
exercise.3
This research shows that alpha
lipoic acid has a similar function as the powerful anabolic hormone insulin.
Alpha lipoic acid also acts as a potent antioxidant which has been suggested
to aid in the reduction of muscle damage and the greater amount of oxidation
associated with exercise.4 Alpha lipoic acid also plays a key
role in energy production required by the muscles during resistance
training.
The Importance of Dextrose
CELL-Tech’s first step in
optimizing creatine delivery was to increase the carbohydrate content to a
level that optimizes insulin production. There is solid scientific research
supporting the use of 75 grams
of pharmaceutical-grade dextrose for this purpose. This is the exact amount
that the American Diabetic Association advocates for doctors assessing
insulin release and insulin sensitivity when conducting the Oral Glucose
Tolerance Test. Smaller, arbitrary amounts of dextrose other creatine
formulas use may not trigger adequate insulin release. However, CELL-Tech
takes its formulation many steps further.
Chromium Support
MuscleTech also included chromium picolinate, a highly absorbable form of chromium, in the CELL-Tech formula which helps support health as well as improve insulin sensitivity.5
CELL-Tech - 19 Times Better Than Regular Creatine!
MuscleTech-funded research at the University of Toronto has shown that approximately 20 ounces of water per serving of CELL-Tech is optimal. This amount of water, in combination with the high glycemic index carbohydrate supplied by CELL-Tech (dextrose), results in very high levels of insulin.6Higher insulin levels lead to greater creatine levels in the muscles where it functions to significantly help prolong your workouts.
MuscleTech researchers advocate that 10 grams of creatine and 75 grams of dextrose is the precise amount needed to improve the lesser muscle absorption that is associated with smaller, more frequent servings of creatine (the traditional 5 grams per serving). The result is the absorption of a greater amount of creatine into the muscles leading to substantial gains in lean muscle mass and strength!
CELL-Tech outperforms regular creatine by 19 times for gains in mass!
CELL-Tech significantly outperforms regular creatine monohydrate because its formula results in greater uptake and storage of creatine and other vital key nutrients. In fact, CELL-Tech was clinically shown to outperform regular creatine by 19 times gains in mass!1 Studies indicate that the ingredients in CELL-Tech have the ability to help:
