Cellular Pathways

Creatine acts as an osmolyte by acting on the CT1 transporter which is a member of the (Na++Cl−)-dependent neurotransmitter transporter family.

Glutamine leads to hepatocyte cell swelling due to cumulative, Na+-dependent, uptake into liver cells and activates RVD due to K+, Cl− and HCO3 − efflux

Alanine leucine and Glycine lead to an increase in cell volume by osmotic pressure and moving through the NA+/K+/Cl anion channels.

Why this matters

Muscle function is one of the greatest indicators of longevity and decreasing overall mortality risk. Cellular hydration has many benefits when it comes to muscle function and other factors of cellular efficiency such as protein degradation, increased performance, and cardiovascular benefits

Clinical Studies

Change in intracellular water space

Higher intracellular water showed better functional performance independent of muscle mass
Intracellular water was the main predictor of leg strength and jump performance in highly trained athletes.
Decrease in ICW during training was found to have reduced power and grip strength.

Synergy with GLP-1, Sermorelin

GLP-1 indirectly causes muscle loss through reduced cellular hydration due to their ability to decrease thirst perception. This may cause a decrease in muscle cell volume due to a loss of intracellular water critical for maintaining muscle size and function. iCell is used in conjunction with GLP-1s to maintain the hydration status of the cell while improving exercise performance.

Sermorelin is anabolic to muscle and increases protein synthesis. iCell increases cell volume which also inhibits protein degradation and improves performance. Sermorelin and iCell both work synergistically to enhance recovery and increase exercise capacity.
