Manufacturer Says:
CellMass won the Creatine Product Of The Year award for 2005, 2006 and 2007! One of the sports nutrition industry’s most popular products over the course of the last few years, CELLMASS® is BSN’s post-workout and nighttime mass, recovery and performance activator. Promoting these three processes is a unique combination of amino acids, minerals and key electrolytes that rapidly absorb to refuel muscle cells, maximize ATP stores and saturate your growing muscles. It’s for this reason that the CELLMASS® you take today, is the CELLMASS® you will feel tomorrow! Remember, CELLMASS® is where mass and recovery begin.TM

Product Profile:
AVPT (Advanced Volumizing & Performance Technology)(4250mg): A proprietary blend of four advanced creatine analogs and Beta Alanine designed to increase creatine transport, uptake and effectiveness, leading to accelerated muscle recovery and hydrogen ion buffering. AVPT contains:
Sodium Creatine Phosphate Matrix: a sodium salt of creatine phosphate, which enhances water solubility. Once inside the bloodstream, a sodium chloride dependant transporter is responsible for carrying the creatine to the muscles cells. So by combining creatine with sodium, the uptake and absorption of creatine is greatly enhanced.
Creatine Ethyl Ester-Beta-Alanine Dual Action Composite (CarnoSyn®): BSN’s newest proprietary blend, designed to increase the water and lipid solubility of creatine. Not only has BSN increased water and lipophilicity, hydrogen ion buffering has also been addressed with the addition of Beta-Alanine. Recent research indictates that the “burning” sensation of muscular fatigue may not be simply lactic acid accumulation, but also a proliferation of hydrogen ions; a metabolic by-product. Beta-Alanine supplementation increases the production of carnosine, a dipeptide known to help buffer lactic acid accumulation and neutralize hydrogen ions. Thus, by combining a fat and water soluble creatine with Beta-Alanine , it enables the creatine to function beyond its normal rate limiting system, leading to superior absorption and effectiveness.
Creatinol-O-Phosphate-Malic Acid Interfusion: A creatine analog known for its role in supporting cardiovascular function, increasing oxygen availability, endurance, work capacity and time to exhaustion. ATP is our body’s energy, the energy to have a muscular contraction and the energy to repair muscle tissue. Creatine helps to carry phosphates, which it donates to ADP to make more ATP, thus more energy. This process is further enhanced by Malic Acid, a Krebs Cycle intermidate involved in the production of ATP. This interfusion functions synergystically with creatine to create more available ATP for explosive energy.
Creatine AABTM (Creatine Alpha-Amino-N-Butyrate): The final creatine analog in AVPT. As with the previous analogs, absorption and effectiveness are greatly increased, increasing ATP production and thus anabolic effects. Unlike the other creatine analogs of the matrix, Creatine Alpha-Amino-N-Butyrate posseses anti-catabolic effects also. Leucine, the branched chain amino acid, is metabolized to ketoisocaproate, which is then metabolized to alpha amino-n-butyrate. This metabolite increases protein synthesis and minimizes protein damage from intense training. Not only is creatine absoprtion and effectiveness increased by this bond, but an element of anabolism and anti-catabolism is obtained.
Glutamine AKG(2000mg): Glutamine is the most anti-catabolic amino acid. Chemically bonding glutamine to AKG, to form glutamine AKG, increases stability and absorption, ensuring full effectiveness. Glutamine AKG promotes muscle cell volumization, protein and glycogen synthesis, muscle tissue repair, growth and hardening. Glutamine AKG also supports muscle cell uptake of creatine and insulin-dependent anabolism. Overtraining is associated with low plasma glutamine levels, thus CELLMASS® may help alleviate or prevent the negative effects of overtraining.
Muscle Cell Uptake Proprietary Matrix(950mg):
Cinnulin-PF: An aqueous extract of cinnamon that is rich in uniquely linked proanthocyanidin antioxidants. These compounds “turn on” cellular signaling mechanisms normally carried out by insulin. Cinnulin-PF maintains blood glucose, cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Di-Calcium Phosphate, Di-Potassium Phosphate, Di-Sodium Phosphate: Donate themselves to creatine to maximize phosphocreatine levels, thus increased ATP levels, strenght and endurance. Calcium, potassium and sodium are involved in the regulation of force generation.
I switched from regular creatine monohydrate on Cellmass and my monthly weight gain increase by about 1/3. I changed nothing else, not diet and not my routine. That shows that Cellmass actually is superior to regular creatine. I know I’ll never go back now.
I hate when people complain about the price, cause muscle mass is priceless. Besides, 40 scoops for only $45 isn’t that much at all. I have been bodybuilding for a long time, and have countless hours of research and self-testing. I’ve tried just about every form and brand of creatine, and this ranks up there. It tastes great (arctic berry frost) and isn’t that expensive. My strength went up in the first week of taking it (twice a day). Anyone who says it doesn’t work doesn’t know what creatine products are suppose to do. It is not for “pumps” like arginine akg products are. Cell mass does it’s job. And to quote the bottle, “the last you’ll ever load are plates,” and that’s pretty accurate.
I saw little difference between this an regular creatine. Maybe a bit more muscle gained, but not much. I’d probably buy it again though, prob need to tweak the training some more.
I used this in conjunction with No-Xplode (as recommended by the trainer at my gym, and by BSN) and have had much better than expected results. I was at a plateau and had not gained any weight or strength for about 6 weeks. Once I started taking this combo my strength and size started to increase again. Good stuff!
