A crash/course on the benefits of alpha lipoic acid: it's one of the least understood compounds out there. But as a part of a unique formula, it can help you get huge!

Flex, August, 2004

IT'S BEEN SAID THAT TIME IS BOTH A FRIEND and foe to us all, and particularly to the hardcore bodybuilder. For every workout you miss, every meal you cheat on, and every supplement you miss out on, you stand to lose years of hard training that you'll never get back.

A lack of nutritional and supplement knowledge is a huge reason why many trainers fail to grow like they could, or should. One weapon that bodybuilders are failing to capitalize on right now is alpha lipoic acid (ALA), an often-mentioned but little-understood supplement. If someone you trusted told you that ALA within a carb-controlled creatine formula could dramatically increase your gains, would you be interested in such an incredibly powerful musclebuilder? Of course you would! And that's why you'll want to read the following. It'll help save you time, money, and stress--and assist you in building a body that looks dangerously huge!

What is Alpha Lipoic Acid and How Does It Work?

First discovered in 1937, ALA is best described as a metabolic antioxidant that helps the body remove free radicals that slow down muscle recovery. Intense training causes the body to produce these free radicals, so bodybuilders stand to gain obvious benefits from ALA supplementation. In addition, ALA enhances the delivery of carbohydrates, creatine, and other important nutrients into your muscles. All of these nutrients are vital to increasing muscle size, stamina, and strength. So if you were able to spike your strength and endurance, and punch out more sets and reps, you would make more of your muscle fibers work harder. And the more muscle fibers you work, the bigger your muscles get! All it takes is a simple but welcome addition to your diet and training program!

Alpha Lipoic Acid--Where It Comes From and How It Helps Creatine

ALA and creatine are both produced in small amounts by the human body. However, it's your creatine stores that get used up by grueling training. Serious weightlifting requires lots of energy, and the less creatine you have in your muscles, the less weight you can lift, and for fewer reps. Bottom line: You can't possibly get as big as you want to! This is why you need a creatine-based formula to help increase your strength so you can pack on size. Now as for ALA, it is naturally found in red meat and leafy greens like spinach. However, the amount of each that a serious bodybuilder would need to make big muscle gains is incredibly high. You would need to take in a ton of spinach and meat just to get 250 mg of ALA! This would end up costing you a fortune! So the only practical alternative is to get your ALA from more economical non-food sources. And remember, you need just the right amount of creatine and other key ingredients with ALA to take your physique to a whole new level. This is where specialized bodybuilding supplements like new CELL-TECH[TM] Carb Control can help you tremendously.

What Makes New CELL-TECH Carb Control So Effective?

The same researchers who created CELL-TECH--the number one musclebuilding creatine supplement in America--are directly responsible for the development of new CELL-TECH Carb Control. CELL-TECH was clinically proven in one 28-day study to be an average of 26 times better than regular creatine for gains in mass (4.34 vs 0.16 pounds)! It's impressive bodybuilding results like these that give CELL-TECH credibility as a musclebuilder.

With every bottle of CELL-TECH Carb Control, there are two musclebuilding weapons you're guaranteed to get: CREA-CELL[TM] and LIPOIC-TECH[TM]! These are two unique blends that contain ALA, creatine, and other key ingredients that have been scientifically shown to work. ALA is the ingredient found in LIPOIC-TECH, and as you already know, it has been shown to help increase creatine storage in muscles. With more creatine in your muscles, you can train harder and ultimately build bigger muscles. And CREA-CELL and LIPOIC-TECH can only be found in CELL-TECH Carb Control. This is because they are covered by US patents. CREA-CELL[TM] is the ultimate blend of creatine and other special ingredients for those on low-carb diets. Along with LIPOIC-TECH[TM], it helps get more creatine into your muscles, which means better muscle and strength gains.

Of course, legitimate clinical university studies speak louder than anything, so here's the proof. In one study on the primary ingredients in CELL-TECH Carb Control, subjects held off from exercising and took in the same balanced diet for 7 days. One group took regular creatine, while another group had creatine combined with ALA--the key ingredients in CELL-TECH Carb Control. After 5 days, readings of each subject's total muscle creatine concentrations were compared to readings taken before supplementation began. And it was those subjects who used the primary ingredients in CELL-TECH Carb Control who experienced the greater average increase in total muscle creatine. In fact, their levels were nearly 3 times greater than those subjects who used only regular creatine (19.0 vs. 5.1 mmol/kg/dm)! This superior increase translates into an average of 16 percent more total muscle creatine for the subjects using the primary ingredients in CELL-TECH[TM] Carb Control (156.8 vs. 135.1 mmol/kg/dm).
