Cellmass [ by BSN ]

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!

AVPT (Advanced Volumizing & Performance Technology)

An exclusive blend of four advanced creatine analogs designed to increase creatine transport, uptake and effectiveness, leading to accelerated muscle recovery and hydrogen ion buffering. AVPT contains:

1. 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 joining creatine with sodium, the uptake and absorption of creatine is greatly enhanced.
2. Creatine EthylEster-Beta-Alanine Dual Action Composite (CarnoSyn®) BSN’s newest exclusive blend, designed to increase 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 shows that the “burning” sensation of muscularfatigue may not be simply lactic acid accumulation, but also an accumulation of hydrogen ions; a metabolic by-product. Beta-Alaninesupplementation increases the production ofcarnosine, a dipeptide known to buffer lactic acid accumulation and decrease 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 better absorption and effectiveness.
3. 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 if further enhanced by Malic Acid, a Krebs Cycle intermediate involved in the production of ATP. This interfusion functions synergystically with creatine to create more available ATP for explosive energy.
4. Creatine AAB™ (Creatine Alpha-Amino-N-Butyrate) The last creatine analog in AVPT. As with the previous analogs, absorption and effectiveness are greatly improved, 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 limits 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 achieved.
5. Glutamine AKG(2000mg) Glutamine is the most anti-catabolic amino acid. Chemically bonding glutamine to AKG, to form glutamine AKG, boosts 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 encourages 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.
6. Cinnulin-PF An aqueous extract of cinnamon that is robust 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.
7. Di-Calcium Phosphate, Di-Potassium Phosphate, Di-Sodium Phosphate Give themselves to creatine to maximize phosphocreatine levels, thus increased ATP levels, strength and endurance. Calcium, potassium and sodium are involved in the regulation of force generation.

After an intense training session, you must restock ATP stores. ATP is the energy needed for muscular contractions as well as fixing the damage caused to muscular tissue due to intense training; this is why it is essential to book end your workout with CELLMASS®. N.O.-XPLODE™ consumed pre-workout gives your body enough creatine to make sufficient additional ATP to assist in fueling your intense training. After your training, ATP stores are depleted and it is necessary to hyper-saturate your muscles with creatine and phosphates for ATP replenishment. Additionally, to make sure full muscle protein repair takes place, CELLMASS® is fortified with glutamine AKG for maximal anti-catabolic effects, stopping any further breakdown of lean muscle tissue.
