BSN CELLMASS
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-w orkout 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 saturateyour growing muscles. It’s for this reason that the
CellMass® you take today, is the CellMass® you will feel tomorrow!
CellMass®,Where mass and recovery begin.™
A proprietary blend of four advanced creatine analogs designed to
increase creatine transport, uptake and effectiveness, leading to
accelerated muscle recovery and hydrogen ion buffering.
CELLMASS PRODUCT DETAILS
•
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 EthylEster-Beta-Alanine Dual Action Composite (CarnoSyn®):
BSN’s newest proprietary 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 indictates 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 superior absorption and effectiveness.
•
Creatinol-O-Phosphate-Malic Acid Interfusion:
A creatine analog known for its role in supporting cardiovascular
function, increasin g 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 intermidate involved in the production of ATP. This interfusion
functions synergystically with creatine to create more available ATP for
explosive energy.
•
Creatine AAB™ (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, ensure 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. Overtraini ng is associated with low plasma
glutamine levels, thus CELLMASS® may help alleviate or prevent the
negative effects of overtraining.
•
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.
After an intense training session, you must replenish ATP stores. ATP is
the energy needed for muscular contractions as well as repairing the
damage caused to muscular tissue due to intense training; this is why it
is imperative to book end your workout with CELLMASS®. N.O.-XPLODE™
consumed pre-workout gives your body enough creatine to make sufficient
additional ATP to aid 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 ensure full muscle protein repair, CELLMASS® is
fortified with glutamine AKG for maximal anti-catabolic effects,
preventing any further breakdown of lean muscle tissue.
CELLMASS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Can you tell me when, and why I should take Cellmass?
We recommend taking Cellmass as instructed on the label – post-workout and before bed.
Q: Will taking Cellmass leave me puffy, bloated and with
stomach cramps, like some of the other creatine products I have tried in
the past?
Cellmass contains a blend of creatine analogs collectively known as
AVPT, which is an acronym that stands for Advanced Volumizing &
Performance Technology. This multi-action matrix is a combination of
four of the most highly sought after, absorbable and effective creatine
analogs on the market today, such as Creatine Ethyl-Ester-Beta-Alanine
dual composite. This is a form of creatine that is not only water
soluble, but also lipid soluble, which allows it to be readily absorbed
into muscle tissue. In the past you may have used creatine monohydrate,
which is not water, or lipid soluble. The inability of this form of
creatine to be absorbed across cell membranes leaves the creatine
“sitting” outside both muscle cells and the intestine. By nature,
creatine molecules are water hydrophilic, meaning they are water-loving.
Since creatine monohydrate is left outside the cell, it naturally draws
water to itself, causing cramping in the G.I. tract, and bloating of
the muscles. With the creatine analogs of AVPT contained within
Cellmass, you will experience superior absorption, uptake and delivery,
leading to greater results and no bloating, cramping or that
"water-logged" feeling.
Q: If I take Cellmass post workout, do I still need to take protein?
Without a doubt, YES! Cellmass provides your body with the high
energy compounds phosphocreatine, ATP and electrolytes, which will help
you recover and help increase performance for your next training
session. These high energy compounds give your body the energy necessary
to contract muscle tissue, however, you still need to supply your body
with protein, as a building block and as a means to repair tissue.
Further to that point, not only do you need to replenish protein post
workout to repair muscle damage caused by intense training, you also
need to replace the glycogen (the storage form of carbohydrate) that was
used up during training. Glycogen is the body’s primary fuel source for
ATP during intense anaerobic training, and must be replaced post
workout. This is a perfect time for
Truemass;
our lean mass gainer. With a 6 blend of ultra-premium, time-released
proteins, testosterone amplifying fats, and a precise complex
carbohydrate blend,
Truemass makes for the perfect compliment to Cellmass for maximum growth and recovery post-training.
Q: Will taking Cellmass prior to bed affect my sleep?
Cellmass contains no stimulants, so it should not affect your sleeping patterns.
Q: Why should I take Cellmass?
Your workouts stimulate muscle growth, and Cellmass supports this
process by promptly replenishing the glutamine, creatine,
phosphocreatine and ATP stores lost during intense exercise. By
replacing these high energy compounds immediately post workout, muscle
hypertrophy (growth) is accelerated; leaving your body primed and ready
for your next workout. Taking Cellmass before bed not only fuels
nighttime anabolism, but also provides an additional opportunity to
further “top up” glutamine, creatine, phosphocreatine and ATP stores.
Q: Can you please tell me the difference between Cellmass and
NO-Xplode? Both have creatine and help with pumps, but which one is better?
The combination of taking
NO-Xplode
pre-training and Cellmass post-training is called the “bookend”
approach to supplementation, which is a means to realizing the greatest
gains in muscle size and strength. Your first bookend is
NO-Xplode.
Take it pre-workout for incredible energy, an outstanding mind-muscle
connection, and amazing pumps and strength increases while you train.
Post-workout (your second “bookend”) and before bed you will take
Cellmass. Your workouts stimulate muscle growth. Cellmass supports this
process by promptly replenishing glutamine and creatine/phosphocreatine
lost during exercise, and enhancing muscle cell volumization. To
summarize,
NO-Xplode
is a pre-workout performance and pump-enhancing formula, while Cellmass
is a post-training/nighttime formula, which supports faster muscle
repair and recovery, and, thereby, growth. Though both products do
creatine analogs, they are very different formulas and serve different
purposes. One is not better than the other, and they should be thought
of as a combination, and not mutually exclusive.
Q: Cellmass contains glutamine, and
Nitrix
says to limit my consumption of glutamine. There are times in the day
when my servings of Cellmass and NITRIX™ coinside. Can I take them
together, or do I have to wait a certain amount of time?
When taking
Nitrix,
you are able to take your serving of Cellmass at the exact same time.
The reference to the amino acid glutamine that we refer to is its free
form state. An amino acid is typically one portion of a chain of amino
acids that make up a protein. This peptide bonding, gives the amino
acids strength and stability. By isolating an amino acid, returning it
to its free form state, it may lose some stability, thus not absorb
fully and efficiently. In the case of glutamine, unabsorbed glutamine
converts to ammonia gas, which has been found to inhibit nitric oxide
production. With Cellmass, we have given glutamine stability by bonding
it to AKG (Alpha-Ketoglutarate). AKG is a Krebs Cycle intermediate and
acts similarly to a leash. To simplify, the cells recognize AKG as part
of the Krebs Cycle and as such, let it in, so to speak. Whatever is
bound to that AKG, will enter the cell as well. So the glutamine in
Cellmass is stable, lending itself to muscle recovery, and not hindering
nitric oxide production.
