Muscletech CellTech provides 10 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 six hours. As a result,
large does of Creatine (up to 10 grams) will need to be
consumed over a period of time to maximize cellular uptake.
Celltech is great and it will make u bigger and stronger. If ur a 150lb wisp and dunt work out regularly obviously ur not guna gain any size. You cant start out a workout routine taking supplements all your results will DISAPPEAR! If you go to the gym 3 times a week for 20 min and put in little girl workouts ur guna get nowere. Getn a nice cut body takes months of dedication and hardwork and an overall lifestyle change. I was working out for 5 months with basic whey protien before I used celltech. You should already be in shape before you even consider taking celltech if you want your results to stay. You should also keep in mind ur not guna become super ripped and huge from this product it will give u above average strength thats it. I took cell tech for one month and my size and strength are the exact same. Im 6'2" 190lb bench is 275lb 4-6 reps before I took cell tech I could bench 235lb 4-6 reps all my results have maintained constant because I workout 5 days a week and eat healthy. Its a simple formula so dunt blame a product that does its job for your laziness.

First people need to learn some bio chem. The product does what it does and results are going to vary. The sugar content of this product is ok because it helps to push the creatine into the muscle. It also helps push additional nutrients into the muscle that with a good diet should be consumed. Carbohydrates are sugars and your body deals with them in the same way. The difference is in rate of metabolism and insulin production. If you eat 15grams of sugar and wheat bread containing 15 carbs. Your body will respond with a higher insulin spike with the sugar than with the carbs in the wheat bread. This is because the complex carbs are slower to digest and do not produce and insulin spike. YOu need a good insulin spike to fuel muscle.
Post work out is when the majority of carbs should be ingested. 15min to 2 hours post work out. NO difference than eating a bunch of fruit. I encourage increasing protein at the same time.
I personally ingest 145gm of carbs post work out. Including 30grams protein pre workout and at least 40 grams post workout and maintain 1gm of protein per/lb of body weight in my diet or above.
Yes this product is expensive However noting good is easy or cheap. So big tough weight lifters quit crying and get lifting. Modest weight gains will occur with this product but once you stop you will drop some weight because of water loss. However Creatine does this. The truth is that in independent research. You do gain muscle because of increased reps and workout intensity

Decent Results, Not Worth $80
I paid $80 bucks for Cell Tech Hardcore, (6.7) pounder and took it for a couple months (over the summer June-August) and I wasn't taking it religiously or anything. A lot of times I would forget to take it, but when I did I could feel the difference.
I stacked it with GNC no name whey protein and it worked pretty well. It wasn't a miracle powder or anything but over the course of the summer it helped my muscles regroup after a workout and made it so I could work 3-4 days in a row.
I would work out in the morning, and then go to work (working on cars 9-10 hrs a day) and I was still able to go to the gym the following morning, I was lifting more at the end of the summer without having a spot on bench or anything.
Unless you can find this stuff for like $30 I wouldn't fork out the dough for it. It works like it says it does, but if you're gonna spend like $240 over the course of a few months on just this, you might as well go buy some steroids.

Cell Tech "Hardcore" Review
Whats going on people;
I have been currently taking Cell Tech Hardcore for 4 days now and honestly, it kicks some ass. I've used regular Monohydrate, and even BSN's Cell Mass (CRAP... the whole taking a dose after a workout, then not until another 6-8 hours later is extremely difficult if you have a busy schedule) So far I can say that Cell Tech delivers as far as muscle recovery, I rarely have any muscle soreness the next day, feel great after taking it (ex. no upset stomach, GREAT taste... and hell I don't get that burning sensation like the older Cell Tech) I here people saying that 75 grams of Dextrose is way to much, but after an intense weight training session, it is essential to consume those "fast carbs" A.S.A.P. (Just pound some Whey back 20 mins after the Cell Tech)
Anyways, I'll give another update in 2 weeks after using this, as for now I'll only give it 4 stars. Remember people.. there's no such thing as a miracle powder or pill.. so without proper nutrition, adequate rest, strict training don't expect supplements to work on there own..and/or overnight.
Cheers

Diabetes
I just purchased cell tech from my local GNC (it was on sale for 15.99 off the 30 dollar price tag so what better time to buy), As I read through the reviews of it I am surprised at how many people rate it negatively because of the sugar content and risk of becoming diabetic, I am a practicing neurologist and through I do not specialize in diabetes and such diseases, what I do know is that most scientific research indicates that diabetes is not caused by a diet high in sugar, though obesity is, and diets high in sugar can and do lead to obesity, but I am assume we are all bodybuilders here and that prospect shouldn’t be too much of a worry
So, taking cell tech will not increase your chance of becoming diabetic, However, I am not advocating diets high in sugar as they are unhealthy but there is a method in the cell techs high sugar content as it ‘forces’ an insulin peak which leads to greater absorption of creatine, It certainly is worth a try!

sugar content
the sugar content in the cretine per scoop is not a bad dose at all it helps transfer the creatine in to your muscles for use other wise it just sits there and gives you a stomach cramp. if you read the sugar content in any of the juice or pop you drink you will come to a conclusion that everything except for milk and water has from 60 - 80 grams of sugar. you can take this very safely just get your vitamins from other sources rather then apple juice ... and stop drinking pop.

Cell-Tech Review: Part 1
OK, here's the skinny on Cell-Tech.
I've been training for 25 years and decided to give Cell-Tech a try. A buddy of mine told me it is just basically Dextrose and Creatine and would be better off making my own. I.e., don't waste your money he told me. He bought his own Dextrose, Cool-Aide and plain old Creatine.
Anyway...
I'm gonna give this an honest review.
I'm coming to the end of my fist cycle (6 weeks on, 2 weeks off).
I have noticed massive strength gains and minimal fatigue when I am training, including huge pumps. So much so I have never felt in my life! Also recovery time seems a lot quicker. Never had any diarrhea. As far as the bloating, I'll see if I really am bloated when I come off my first cycle. There is no real barometer to compare it to since this is my first time cycling Cell-Tech.
I like all the extra little ingredients Cell-Tech adds that gives it a synergistic effect that the home made version doesn't have.
I'm gonna spend some time experimenting with different products this time around and post honest reviews as they work or not for me.
I bought a couple of bottles of Creatine Ethyl Ester, which I'm gonna try next. There is no loading phase and with the ethyl ester molecule attached, it is suppose to break the barrier and be more readily absorbed by the muscles.
But Cell-Tech is expensive. I can't believe some places are actually charging $70 bucks. I can get this at a place near me for $48. Still expensive for about a 30 day supply. And which is probably the reason I won't buy it again even if it does work. Too expensive!! Are you listening Muscle-Tech ?!?!?! I'll be forced to make my own home made concoction for a whole lot cheaper.
I mean are these pinheads for real. What person can afford that month in and month out. And I was love these bodybuilders that take this and all this other crap and then suggest we do the same, except we don't have sponsors to mail us this stuff for free.
Anyway, the real test would be when I do my cycle of Ethyl Ester and even when I try plain old Creatine with grape juice. So look for another post by me in a few months.
In closing, give it a try, but the cost is gonna kill you.

explosive
cell tech works very well & even better stacked with nitro tech.always take nitro tech at lunch if you train at tea time & then take cell tech after you work out & then nitro tech 1 hr after that & if you dont gain at least3-4 lbs of muscle a week then you either dont train hard or your just one of those unlucky people who dont grow.not saying all muscle tech is the best but cell & nitro-tech stack is the best on the planet
as ive spent hundreds trying others ,im just about to try the creakic,leukic & gakic stack for 15 days expecting 6 -8 lbs ill keep you informed.i know its all expensive but you need to pay for fast results or wait a couple of years

RIP OFF
Creatine Monohydrate is terrible, causes bloating, needs insulin to be effectively stored...Too bad insulin cant go where theres no insulin receptors, ie) the large intestine) thats why u need 10 grams of this crap, to be able to store less than half. Anybody would be better off going with one of the new forms of creatine, such as ethyl ester, or akg.....Basically muscletech took creatine monohydrate added 75g of sugar and other additives and quadrupled the price

pretty good results
This supplement really helped my workouts greatly. In taking it I gained about 6 pounds in the first two weeks. The gains were in lean muscle, and I noticed that it allowed me to work out much longer. As far as cramps etc. I didn't experience too much of this as long as I stayed well hydrated. I can't say that I've tried any other creatine supplements to compare this one to, but I know plenty of other people who have tried other brands of creatine with poor results. The amount of sugar found in it is pretty rediculous though.

Looking bigger
I've been a big muscletech fan for about 7 years now. I recently quit drinking cell tech. I cycled it through the years 4 weeks on, 4-6 weeks off. I've been off of it now for about 3 months. I have noticed an incredible increase in the amount of weight I can lift. I've also noticed a decrease in size of muscles. I won't be taking cell tech again...might be better to take some capsules. The bloated feeling, diarrhea, upset stomach, nausea, and overall sick feeling while drinking cell tech is not enough motivation to look bigger. And noone on the face of this earth (aside from being crazy) can tell me it's healthy to ingest that much sugar at once with an insulin mimicker. Really, sit down and think about what you're doing to your body. Hey diabetes here I come.

I LIKE TO LIFT HEAVY WEIGHTS FOR DAYS AT A TIME
There are so many people saying, "It's just sugary carbs blah blah blah". I guess you don't read the label and see that it is DEXTROSE,next best kind of sugar/carbs to glucose (which is impossible to mimic)that you can get after a workout to give you an extreme insulin spike that you need after a workout to push the creatine into your muscle. This is good for a monohydrate, but if you don't want to bulk and then loose results (size- mainly water retention, not strength) take a gluconate or ester, personal opinion, but if your looking mass and stregth take this stuff with a good protein and NO. I love the guy from the U.K. who has worked with dancers... well if dancers don't use this I sure don't want to... keep lifting hard and do your research!

in response to your question...
in my personal opinion..i would say dont take the cell-tech at all because first of all, it has A LOT of sugar. and too much sugar can lead to diabetes. i would say just take the Nitro-Tech right after your workout for now and see how that works.

Ok... Just ok...
Ive been taking cell tech stacked with nitro tech for three weeks now and Ive seen some pretty decent gains, Ive gone up on bench 20 lbs which is more than twice the results I was getting before I started taking it. As far as side effects, there are no side effects whatsoever, I even took a serving right before bed and slept like a baby, after all its just creatine. The only thing though, is that it has a lot of suger, 70 grams which is very hard on your pancreas, and might lead to diabetes. In addition, with all that sugar comes carbs, lots of carbs, hhich is exactly why I have switch to cellmass. It uses Ethyl Ester Creatine instead which uses a different delivery system than the Creatine monohydrade cell tech uses, which is why it contains no sugar and has 1/5 the calories that cell tech has and you dont have to worry about becoming a diabetic.

Cell-tech really does work
Cell-Tech is excellent. I gained significant gains in the first week alone. Many people talk about the water retention which does occur especially in the first week of loading. I would recommend some cardio exercises to prevent this. After the first week I noticed larger but softer muscles. But I definently was impressed with the results especially when you stack it with Nitro-tech. My muscles were larger and more defined.
One thing you have to remember though is that this product contains a large amount of sugar, so you should intensify your cardio and ab workouts since the first place it settles is your lower ab region. The price tag is high so its best to buy in bulk when its on sale. I paid around $40.00 for the 7lb tub. If you dont want to deal with the water retention, then you can get a form of CEE. I would recommend CE2. However, I feel it doesnt give you the same gains as Cell-Tech. I also dont recomend the homemade version of Cell-Tech. Its way more to it.

I am 23 and working out on and off for about 3 years.Along the way i have tried many food supplements and one of them is CELL-TECH.I heard a lot about it from mags and internet sites thanks to Muscletechs hugh advertising campeign.First of all its realy expensive and when you pay that amount of money you expect the world from a food supplement.For me it has to taste good as well but that i cant say about CELL-TECH.Infact its tastes like shit.I can understand the burning sensation that i feel every time i drink it[alphaliopic acid]but what i cant understand is why the hell it tastes so poorly.I have bought the orange flavour both times i used it and belive me if oranges tastes that bad then i would have stoped eating oranges all together but does it works?YES IT DOES!my streanth and body mass both go up imediatly after only using it for 1 week and that is something i cant say about many other food supplements.The thing is if only they could make it taste drinkable,i would have given it 5 stars and a hearty recomandation but now all i could say is buy it if you need fast results and have the money but try tasting it first.

The worlds biggest skeptic
I've been ignoring the muscletech products hype for a few years now, I read some books and always believed in the cell-tech formula (10grams of creatine+75 grams of dextrose) , I never thought it was worth paying the high price tag so I just bought both seperately and mixed them in my shaker after my work outs along with 2 scoops of protein, anyways while I was on vacation I bought a small tub of cell-tech and another of nitrotech, I am very lean and averaged less than 8% body fat for over 2 years now, I have to admit that using the stack made a big difference in terms of Mass, I already drink over 1 gallon a day so I never had the bloating problem some people complain off, I gained a little less than 5 pounds in a 8 weak period, to me this is a lot given by body fat, I know that is probably mostly water retention however I don't feel that I have lost any definition, I am still very cut and very pleased with my results, this product works, the biggest and only problem I have with it is the outragouse price tag. Again don't try to buy creatine, glucose and alpha-lipoic acid and mix them on your own like I did for 2 years , lol, you won't see the same results.

My recovery time for my breathing was alot worse and I was breathing much harder. Is creatine right for me since I already show 2 possible side effects? Also does creatine induce asthma effects?
