Product details
Where this label sits
MuscleTech Cell-Tech is one of the creatine products in the Scoop Sense database. The label uses at least one proprietary blend, so a blend total stands in place of the individual amounts inside it. It runs 27 servings per container at the full labeled serving. Everything on this page comes from the manufacturer's supplement facts panel as of July 2026 — never from the marketing page.
Key ingredients & studied doses
- Creatine Monohydrate · 5 g. Studied for supporting muscle strength and power by aiding ATP re-synthesis during high-intensity efforts.
- Multi-Stage Carb Blend (maltodextrin, dextrose, and others) · 38 g carbs. Fast-digesting carbohydrates studied for supporting post-exercise glycogen replenishment; the insulin response has been studied in relation to creatine uptake.
- Taurine · 1 g. An amino acid studied in relation to cell hydration and exercise performance.
- Alpha Lipoic Acid · 100 mg. A compound studied alongside carbohydrate for supporting nutrient uptake into muscle.
Flavors & sweetener
Fruit Punch and Citrus Punch; a sweet, carbohydrate-heavy mix rather than a plain powder.
Who it's best for
People who want creatine bundled with other ingredients — check what each addition does before paying for it. Skip it if you want every individual dose disclosed on the label. Derived from the label figures above — not medical advice.
How we log this label
Every entry is built the same way: we read the current supplement facts panel, log each disclosed dose, compare it against the amounts used in published research, flag proprietary blends, and state the cautions plainly. The full methodology explains each step.
This label against the research
How we evaluate labelsEach bar shows the amount commonly used in published human research, and where this label's dose falls against it. Research amounts are context, not a recommendation — they are not doses, and nothing here is medical advice.
-
Creatine5 g
At or above the studied amount0studied range 3 g–5 g6 g
Maintenance dosing in the research is 3–5 g a day of monohydrate, every day, not only on training days.
Source: Kreider et al., Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition 2017 — “Once muscle creatine stores are fully saturated, creatine stores can generally be maintained by ingesting 3–5 g/day”
-
Taurine1 g
At or above the studied amount0studied range 1 g–6 g7 g
Trials run from 1 g to 6 g a day, given as single doses or for up to two weeks, with mixed results across studies.
Source: Waldron et al., Sports Medicine 2018 — “The doses of taurine ranged from 1 to 6 g/day and were provided in single doses and for up to 2 weeks among a range of subjects.”
One or more amounts on this label sit inside a proprietary blend, so the individual doses behind the blend total cannot be compared at all.
What other people say
Why we don't rate productsTwo different things, side by side: the rating the seller publishes on its own store, and what independent users write in public threads. Scoop Sense writes neither and collects no reviews of its own. Neither is evidence that a product works — they describe what people experienced and expected, not what the research shows.
On the seller's page
4.6 / 5
7,910 ratings
The brand's own storefront, read July 2026. A seller's rating is collected and moderated by the seller — treat it as a marketing figure, not an independent one.
What people actually report
A long-running favorite for gains and price, but some batches draw complaints about clumping and a minority describe tolerability issues serious enough that they switched products.
- negative Clumping / mixability. Some buyers describe tubs arriving with clumps that do not fully break up even after shaking.
- positive Value. Named as one of the cheapest flavored options people have found for the money.
- mixed Effectiveness vs. tolerability. One long-time user reported good gains but discontinued use after months of lingering discomfort they attributed to the product.

“It worked well in terms of gains. Although the symptoms definitely outweighed the benefits, so I've discontinued using it.”

Common questions about MuscleTech Cell-Tech
Do I need a loading phase with MuscleTech Cell-Tech?
The loading question does not transfer to this form. Saturation timelines come from research on 3–5 g of creatine monohydrate daily; blend has no established studied dose of its own, so there is no figure to load toward. Treat the label's 5 g as the brand's recommendation rather than a researched one.
What does the proprietary blend in MuscleTech Cell-Tech hide?
The Multi-Stage Carb Blend (maltodextrin, dextrose, and others) lists 38 g carbs as a combined total. A blend total tells you the sum of its ingredients, not the individual doses inside it — which is why blend entries can't be checked against studied amounts.
Do the numbers for MuscleTech Cell-Tech assume one scoop or two?
All figures on this page are per full labeled serving. 38 g of carbohydrate per scoop — account for it in your daily intake.
