Overview

Cell K.E.M. PR Sour Watermelon Flavor is an all-in-one recovery supplement designed to maximize muscle growth and repair. It combines creatine, EAAs, vitamins, and minerals to support muscle recovery following high-intensity training. While the inclusion of creatine and EAAs can be beneficial, creatine is underdosed and proprietary blends limit a full evaluation of ingredient effectiveness.

The Good

Contains Creatine Monohydrate and Creatine Nitrate: Creatine is one of the most well-studied and effective supplements for improving exercise performance, leading to increased energy availability, strength, and power output.

Includes Essential Amino Acids (EAAs): EAAs are crucial for muscle protein synthesis, aiding in muscle recovery and growth after exercise. It contains 2g of L-Leucine. Leucine is well known to activate protein synthesis and help boost muscle repair, particularly after high intensity work.

Contains Vitamins and Minerals: Includes essential vitamins like Vitamin C, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium and Potassium, which support overall health and various bodily functions.

The Bad

Underdosed Creatine: The combined creatine monohydrate (1.5g) and creatine nitrate (1g) provides a total of 2.5g creatine per serving, which is less than the clinically recommended 3-5g daily dose for general maintenance.

EAA blend underdosing: While it contains a blend of EAAs, specific amounts of Leucine, Lysine, Threonine, Valine, Isoleucine, Phenylalanine, Histidine, Tryptophan and Methionine may be limited due to the overall blend size. At 2g, L-Leucine is well dosed, but the remaining 4.9g of the EAA blend divided amongst 9 other ingredients may yield limited benefit.

Proprietary Blends: The use of proprietary blends, such as "Creatine No2 Mass Matrix" and "Hormone Optimization Matrix", obscures the exact dosages of each ingredient, making it difficult to assess their efficacy.
