If I were to choose between these two brands cell tech and dymatize powertech by only reading the mag adverts or the front label in a supplement store you would always spend more on cell tech product. Do you really need more calories, carbs, sugar and sodium in the formula to make the cell tec version work or to just fill you out so that you think you are gaining mass? And to only give you 18 servings in the most popular tub size. Look else were for your creatine transport system and save money. As to the protein Muscle tec is not the best blend of proteins available for the price in the uk you could purchase an iscolate AST VP2 and have enough money for the AST Creatine HSC also. Makes you think?

Recommended use
For the first five days (loading stage):
Take two servings daily, one in the morning and the other twelve hours later or immediately after your workout.
Maintenance Stage:
Take one serving immediately after your workout, or take one serving upon awakeining on non-workout days. For optimimum taste, mix two scoops (98.5g) of CELL-TechTM with 12 oz. of cold water (add more water if taste is too sweet). After consumption of CELL-TechTM, drink an additional 8 oz. of water to help enhance glucose and creatine absorption. For maximum results, CELL-TechTM should be used for a minimum of 8 weeks. For even greater results, take 1 serving of NITRO-TechTM within 30-45 minutes of consuming CELL-TechTM.
Warning(s)
Due to the pH (acidity) of Alpha lipoic acid, users may experience a slight burning sensation in their throat while consuming CELL-TechTM.
As with all creatine products, maintain an adequate state of hydration during use. Do not use if you suffer from diabetes or if you are prone to hyperglycemia and/or hypoglycemia.
Since CELL-TechTM stimulates insulin production and creatine delivery so rapidly, some individuals may be susceptable to diarrhea, nausea, tiredness or extreme thirst. If you experience such effects, drink the product slower (i.e. consume CELL-TechTM over a thirty minute period) or take only one scoop (49.25g) of CELL-TechTM four times daily for the loading stage and two times daily for the maintenance stage.
If symptoms of sweating, nervousness, trembling, faintness, palpitation, skin rash or hunger occur, dicontinue product and consult your doctor.
