Topic: RSS FeedNever take your creatine with juice: research shows that taking creatine with juice can defeat your fitness goals. It's time to switch to CELL-Tech!
Men's Fitness, Sept, 2002
Creatine is an excellent supplement that helps to build mass and increase strength. That's why athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike add creatine to their fitness plan. Not long after creatine monohydrate hit the marketplace, experts told athletes to drink it with some type of fruit juice so that the simple carbohydrates in the juice would create an insulin spike that could help force more creatine into the muscles. However, it turns out that this advice was misleading and many athletes were not getting the most out of their creatine supplements! Scientific research has now shown that there is a better way to take your creatine ... CELL-Tech!

The more creatine you force into your muscles, the better your gains can be. But how do you do this? One of the major scientific discoveries in recent years has been that insulin production can help to increase creatine transport into the muscle cells, which is why experts have been instructing athletes to take their creatine with juice. The problem with this however, is that fruit juice doesn't optimize creatine transport and storage. When it comes to improving creatine delivery to the muscles, one type of carbohydrate is extremely important: dextrose. Dr. Paul Greenhaff, one of the world's top creatine researchers, conducted a study and found that a large amount of dextrose (a high-glycemic-index carbohydrate) created a large enough insulin spike to help drive creatine more efficiently into the muscles. So now two important facts are known: (1) you need a very large amount of carbohydrates to create an optimal insulin spike, and (2) the carbohydrates must have a very high glycemic index for the fastest release into the bloodstream (dextrose being the best).
Creatine With Juice Is A Big Mistake!
If you examine the simple sugars found in juice, you'll see that half of the carbohydrates are fructose. This is not good news for athletes, since scientists have discovered that fructose (a natural sugar found in fruit) is an ineffective choice for creatine loading for two reasons. First of all, fructose has a very low glycemic index (just 20 out of a possible 100). Dextrose has the highest glycemic index of 100 (5 times higher than fructose), thereby inducing a larger more rapid insulin response. Second, fructose can more easily convert to fat, which means consuming too much of it can increase bodyfat! Grape juice, with a rating of 58, rates higher on the glycemic index scale than most fruit juices, but it's nowhere near dextrose--without a doubt the best source of simple carbs!
CELL-Tech--Build Over 19 Times More Muscle!
New research indicates that if you load creatine properly with dextrose, you can increase your gains in mass significantly more than by using creatine mixed with juice. CELL-Tech can make this happen. It's engineered to help transport and store more creatine in your hard-trained muscles. You already know dextrose has a glycemic index of 100, and that this is why MuscleTech includes a large amount of it in each serving of CELL-Tech--to induce a huge insulin release. So what does all of this mean for you? Well, by using CELL-Tech you can gain Over 19 times more mass than you can with regular creatine! That's right, CELL-Tech is clinically proven to be an average of over 19 times better than creatine for muscle gains! And if you want to increase your gains even more, try taking CELL-Tech with NITRO-Tech, MuscleTech's advanced whey protein supplement. When combined, these two amazing supplements create the ultimate musclebuilding stack!
CELL-Tech's Secret Weapon--Alpha Lipoic Acid
Recent scientific research has shown that there's a specific nutrient that can increase the effectiveness of the creatine and dextrose combination even further. It's called alpha lipoic acid. MuscleTech researchers explain that the addition of alpha lipoic acid to the CELL-Tech formula significantly increases creatine storage in the muscles. And thanks to their exclusive government patent, in place to protect their countless hours of scientific research, MuscleTech is the only sports supplement company legally allowed to sell a supplement that combines an effective amount of creatine with alpha lipoic acid.
CELL-Tech--Mass, Strength, and Improved Performance!
While supplementing with CELL-Tech, many athletes not only gain mass, but also experience more energy and increased strength during their workouts, which helps improve their overall performance. While results will vary depending on your diet and training program, some individuals who use CELL-Tech are reporting gains in mass of up to 10 pounds in as little as 7 days--with increased strength as well! Clearly, CELL-Tech can help you see dramatic results soon after adding it to your fitness plan. But, it's also important to take CELL-Tech on a daily basis to help you continually improve your physique.
MuscleTech is confident that with CELL-Tech they have created a unique and important advance in creatine supplementation that can benefit athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Thanks to CELL-Tech's advanced creatine transport capabilities, even those who have had little or no results with regular creatine use can experience the benefits of CELL-Tech. Even athletes using CELL-Tech after already being loaded on regular creatine have experienced further increases in lean mass and strength. Consistent gains in muscle size, increases in strength, and improved performance--you name it, CELL-Tech can deliver it!
