Muscletech: Cell Tech Hyper-Build

MuscleTech have released their first new Cell-Tech formula in years! As arguably their most famous supplement of all, we were excited to see what MuscleTech would do to their post-workout recovery supplement. 

Similar to the original formula it's packed with muscle and strength building ingredients like BCAA's, Glutamine, Creatine and an electrolyte blend. The difference between Cell-Tech Hyper build and the original formula Cell-Tech are quite noticable, with the new formula containing no carbohydrates and only 30 calories per serving compared to 38g carbohydrates (15g sugar) and 180 calories per serving in the original.

Cell-Tech Hyper-Build vs Cell-Tech Performance Series

There's also a big increase in BCAA's with Hyper-Build containing 6g and using a 4:1:1 ratio to provide 4g of Leucine versus a mere 500mg in the original Cell-Tech - this is a great change for the purpose of stimulating muscle protein synthesis. There's only a slight change with the Creatine with the new Hyper Build using 4g Creatine Monohydrate and 1g Creatine HCL, as opposed to 3.5g Creatine Monohydrate and 1.5g Creatine HCL. Although Creatine HCL is known for being more concentrated, Monohydrate has far more studies proving its effectiveness so we like this change. The addition of the phytonutrient Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate is thought to aid in reducing muscle soreness post-workout. Finally, Cell-Tech Hyper build uses a much more advanced electrolyte blend including Coconut Water and Watermelon Juice.

Looking at Cell-Tech Hyper build we would suggest it as a seperate product to the standard Cell-Tech formula, as the original may be more effective when looking for mass where as Hyper Build is much more versatile and will support both muscle increases and maintenance while dieting. The taste is once again superb and MuscleTech although taking years to release a new formula, have made it worth the wait.
