Cellmass: Creatine Supplement for Muscle Recovery & Growth

Cellamss is a dietary supplement used to help speed muscle recovery after exercise. According to BodyBuilding.com, Cellmass has won the Creatnine Product of the Year Award for 2005-2009.

Identification

• According to the Supplement Research Foundation, creatnine is a compound produced by the liver from amino acids such as glycine, arginine and methionine. Ninety-five percent of the body's creatnine is stored within the muscles. Cellmass is a creatnine supplement used to help build muscle mass and strength.

Function

• The proponents of Cellmass state its primary function is that of a recovery agent to assist in protein synthesis, while promoting the proper balancing of electrolytes. According to BSNonline.net, Cellmass replenishes the natural creatnine in a person's body that is lost during a workout. These statements, however, have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Considerations

• Although many manufacturers of dietary supplements claim their products are beneficial, it is hard to make a determination without expert opinion. Since claims made on various websites that promote Cellmass have not been evaluated by the FDA, individuals should discuss its use with a doctor before deciding to add it to their diet.
