Nutritional Supplements > Creatine > Item 15      Muscletech New Cell-Tech, Powder, Grape 4.3 lb Product Description Advanced Engineered Creatine Supplementation Osmotic Acceleration Technology™ 10 grams of Creatine per serving! 200 mg of Insulin-Potentiating Alpha Lipoic Acid per serving! Scientifically Designed Cell-Volumizing Agent! Enhances Muscle Size and Strength! Advanced Creatine Formula! Dietary Supplement Delicious Grape Flavor Advanced Engineered Creatine Supplementation Creatine monohydrate has been shown to significantly improve strength, power, recovery time and lean body mass [1, 2,3].  MuscleTech Research & Development™ believes that their new advanced Creatine formula, Cell-Tech™ is superior to regular creatine monohydrate.  Cell-Tech™ provides10 grams of HPLC-tested pure creatine monohydrate per serving!  After ingestion of creatine monohydrate, the human body experiences a 50% creatine receptor-cite downgrade, peaking after approximately 6 hours [4].  As a result, large doses of creatine (up to 10 grams) will need to be consumed over a short period of time to maximize cellular uptake.  The inclusion of 75 grams of pharmaceutical-grade Dextrose is the same dosage advocated by the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) for physicians to assess the efficiency of insulin production in potential diabetic patients [5].  Studies performed by the leading Creatine researcher Dr. Paul Greenhaff have shown that very large amounts of dextrose are needed to significantly increase muscle creatine concentration [6].  Smaller amounts of dextrose may not have the same effect.  Sports Nutrition experts and trainers alike realize that insulin is the most anabolic hormone in the body.  Once stimulated, it drives carbohydrates, amino acids (protein) and creatine monohydrate into muscle cells.  For this reason MuscleTech Research & Development™ has added a powerful insulin potentiator called Alpha lipoic acid to the Cell-Tech™ formula.  MuscleTech researchers believe that alpha lipoic acid may significantly increase insulin sensitivity, thereby increasing creatine absorption [7].  Based on preliminary research results, alpha lipoic acid appears to boost the insulin-signaling pathway within the muscle-cell [8].  MuscleTech Research & Development™ has also added Chromium picolinate, Potassium, Phosphates, Taurine, Ascorbic acid and Magnesium to further potentiate the actions of insulin and muscle contraction [9]. Osmotic Acceleration  Technology™ The birth of Osmotic Acceleration Technology™, is based on a ground breaking research study conducted at the University of Toronto.  This study will not only change the way creatine monohydrate is consumed, but also how all post-workout drinks are created.  This study demonstrated that by mixing a particular amount of water with a carbohydrate solution you can vastly increase the speed at which the carbohydrates [10] (and potentially creatine) enter the bloodstream and subsequently the muscle tissue through he actions of insulin and GLUT-4 transporters.  Cell-Tech™, is the first creatine delivery system to take advantage of the manipulation of osmolality (concentration) to increase creatine absorption and glycogen storage which is essential for recovery and maximum cell volumization.  In developing Osmotic Acceleration Technology™, MuscleTech Research & Development™t has established a target water dosing schedule that is individualized for each athlete's particular body weight.  To achieve even greater results from our Cell-Tech™ product, athletes should contact our Research Department and obtain their individual water dosing schedule.

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.  This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Contents are sold by weight.  Some settling may occur. Safety Information Due to the pH (acidity) of Alpha lipoic acid, users  may experience a slight burning sensation in their throat while consuming Cell-Tech™.  As with all creatine products, maintain an adequate state of hydration during its use.  Do not use if you suffer from diabetes or if you are prone to hyperglycemia and / or hypoglycemia. Since Cell-Tech™ stimulates insulin production and creatine delivery so rapidly, some individuals may be susceptible to diarrhea, nausea, tiredness, or extreme thirst.  If you experience such effects, drink the product slowly (i.e. consume Cell-Tech™ over a thirty minute period), or take only one scoop (49.25 g) of Cell-Tech™ four times daily for the loading stage and two times daily for the maintenance stage. If symptoms of sweating, nervousness, trembling, faintness, palpitation, skin rash or hunger occur, discontinue product and consult a physician.     Ingredients Pharmaceutical Grade Dextrose, HPLC-tested pure creatine monohydrate, Taurine, Calcium Slilicate, Natural & Artificial Flavors, Malic Acid, Red Beet Powder, Dipotassium Phosphate, Disodium Phosphate, Magnesium Phosphate, Ascorbic Acid, Pharmaceutical Grade Alpha Lipoic Acid, FD&C Blue #2, Chromium Picolinate Directions For the first five days (loading stage): Take two servings daily, one in the morning and the other twelve hours later or immediately after your workout.  Maintenance stage: Take one serving immediately after your workout, or take one serving upon awakening on non-workout days.  For optimum taste, mix two scoops (98.5g) of Cell-Tech™ with 12 oz of cold water (add more water if taste is too sweet).  After consumption of Cell-Tech™, drink an additional 8 oz. of water to enhance glucose and creatine absorption.  For maximum results, Cell-Tech™ should be use for a minimum of 8 weeks. For even greater results obtain your individual Osmotic Acceleration Technology™ mixing schedule by calling: 1-800-246-3261.  For maximum results take 1 serving of Mesco-Tech™ within 30-45 minutes of consuming Cell-Tech™. Note: Shake container before use.  To maintain product freshness store in a cool, dry place.
