Muscle – our most valuable metabolic asset

As muscle is our most valuable metabolic asset, not having enough creates a liability. Like our finances, muscle is something we need working for us today, providing security for us tomorrow, and hedging against unexpected losses. Skeletal muscle is an essential asset contributing to our metabolic wealth. 

Accruing muscle 

Muscle is a repository for glucose. Supporting insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake, building muscle enhances metabolic health. If glucose is not taken up by skeletal muscle, for storage as glycogen, uptake defaults to adipose tissue, for storage as fat.  

Maintaining muscle 

Skeletal muscle is our metabolic checking and savings account meeting on-demand metabolic needs and provisioning for future needs. Muscle maintenance is foundational to strength, functionality, and metabolic resilience, as well as meeting anaerobic energy demands and achieving ideal body composition. From mitochondrial dysfunction to intramyocellular lipid accumulation (fat build-up in muscle cells), the maintenance of muscle opposes these drivers of skeletal muscle aging.

Spending muscle 

Muscle can be spent in proactive deliberate ways like resistance training where it is ‘well spent’ as with proper recovery there is a positive return. 

Muscle can be spent in reactive and unintentional ways as with poor diet and lifestyle, debilitating conditions, and overtraining with diminishing returns. 

Cellemental Complete as collateral  

As collateral is using one asset to procure another, Cellemental Complete supports the securing and sustaining of skeletal muscle. It optimizes your muscle portfolio by promoting muscle integrity, workout recovery, and countering age associated skeletal muscle dysfunction.  

Rather than a get-rich-quick strategy, Cellemental Complete is a long-term investment strategy with unique whole food bioactives including vitamins, minerals, essential macronutrients, cofactors, enzymes, and peptides.

Support coming from decreasing cellular demand (rather than accelerating cellular function) builds a strong and sustainable foundation.

What sets us apart is our formulary focus:

1. Taking the load off cells by curbing cellular stress.
2. Providing what the cell needs to function optimally.
3. Getting the cell back in business with the rest of our physiology.  

Supporting cellular health is the foundation for investing well in your health as cells build tissues, tissues build organs, organs become a system; and with optimization, contribute to homeostasis (the body’s just right state of being).  

Muscle is our most valuable metabolic asset and as any good investment advisor would recommend, well invested assets pay dividends!
