MuscleTech
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MuscleTech is a brand of nutritional supplements marketed by Iovate Health Sciences Inc.
Some products bearing the MuscleTech brand name include Hydroxycut, and supplements containing creatine (such as Cell-Tech) and protein supplements (such as Nitro-Tech). The brand also encompasses a number of other categories, such as nitric oxide supplements, meal replacements and creatine ethyl ester supplements.
The MuscleTech brand is endorsed by bodybuilders such as 2006 Mr. Olympia champion Jay Cutler, Gustavo Badell, Darrem Charles, David Henry, Paul Dillett, Chris Cormier, Branch Warren, and Scott Milne. The MuscleTech brand is also endorsed by female fitness models that include Jenny Lynn, Kristia Knowles and Carol Grow.
MuscleTech products can be found at GNC, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, and other stores. The brand is also advertised during televised professional wrestling, bodybuilding, and mixed martial arts events.
MuscleTech Research and Development Inc., a holding company for the brand, filed for bankruptcy in January 2006 in response to over one hundred personal injury lawsuits relating to ephedra in Hydroxycut and their supplements containing androstendione and similar pro-hormones.[1]
