Difference Between Creatine Monohydrate & Ethyl Ester

http://professionalwhey.com
To date, over 2000 pieces of research have been published, the overwhelming majority of which support its effectiveness. The research shows that creatine supplementation can benefit athletes in several ways.[3] These include:

Permitting a higher training load
Improving repetitive interval/sprint capacity
Reducing training fatigue
Accelerating muscle hypertrophy
Increasing fat free body mass
It is thus popular with body builders and athletes involved in sports that require high levels of strength and power, such as American football, rowing, and track and field sports.

However, creatine doesnt work for everyone, as the particular mechanism by which it works means that unless you are training really hard, it will not be effective for you.[4] So the catch is train hard or stay away.

Are there any side effects?

Over the years, athletes have reported a number of side effects that they attribute to creatine. The most common are bloating, diarrhoea, and an increased incidence of muscle cramps or strains.

However, the incidence of these reports is low, and there is no evidence from any well-controlled clinical study to support the idea that creatine supplementation causes any side effects.[5][6][7] Furthermore, athletes have been using creatine as a nutritional supplement since the mid-1960s, with no reports of long-term side effects.[8]

Which Creatine?

There are various types of creatine available, including:

Creatine Monohydrate


Creatine Ester Ethyl

Creatine Citrate

Micronised Creatine

The most popular and seemingly most effective from the people who repeatedly buy creatine are Creatine Monohydrate and Creatine Ester Ethyl (CEE). Of these, Creatine Monohydrate has been on the market for over 15 years, while CEE is the new kid on the block.

The debate over the merits of the two is centred around absorption rates. Quite simply, those selling CEE claim that it is absorbed far better than Creatine Monohydrate, and that it doesnt break down in stomach acids it is therefore claimed to deliver more creatine to the muscles.

What does the research show? While none of the companies marketing it can back up their claims, a recent independent study found that in fact, the addition of the ethyl to creatine actually reduced acid stability and accelerates its breakdown to creatinine, which is a waste product of the body.[9]

When they compared the CEE to Creatine Monohydrate they found that far more of the creatine monohydrate remained available both 30 minutes and 120 minutes after absorption.

The researchers thus concluded that CEE is inferior to Creatine Monohydrate as a source of free creatine.

As a personal trainer, nutrition advisor and supplement company owner I found this conclusion to be rather shocking especially since so many people have reported good results from CEE. However many have found that Creatine Monohydrate has not worked for them, probably due to lack of absorption. This is why Micronised Creatine has become popular. It is Creatine Monohydrate micronized into particles that are 20 times smaller than normal Creatine Monohydrate particles, making it much easier to absorb.

Thanks, very well said.

I have only been taking creatine monohydrate for just a few days now and already it is amazing. Not even a week in I'm already putting on an extra ten pounds of plates onto everything.
