Probably most of us fell for the Cell Tech ads when were first getting started. Flipping through the pages of a muscle mag and you come across this multipage ad with all sorts of scientific sounding information about how Cell Tech works and how it'll make you gain 10lbs of muscle in 4 weeks. Then, all it was was LOTS of maltodextrin and some creatine.
Well, I was flipping through Cell Tech's website looking at their products and I was just curious if they were pulling the same old scam they've been pulling for years. The retail price is $30 for 3lb, so it's still a major rip off, but the formula actually was improved. They removed maltodextrin from the carbs and added a lot better carbs. They're using creatine hcl (the cheapest of the creatines and the easiest to throw into a formula due to it's chemical properties), but it's included with 3g of creatine monohydrate. Their BCAA amounts are also BS. But, check it out:

Now granted, I still wouldn't buy the stuff (obviously), but it's nice to see them take out the maltodextrin and add in real glucose/dextrose and plant based carbs which are much healthier than just plain maltodextrin.3lbs Fruit Punch
