Creatine monohydrate vs other forms

Creatine monohydrate vs other forms. Looks like another "high tech" form of creatine has got one foot planted firmly in the creatine grave yard. What is the creatine graveyard? It's where forms of creatine -- other then monohydrate -- go when either science has shown them inferior to monohydrate, and or it's life cycle of hype has come to and end.

I refer specifically to creatine ethyl ester (CEE). As with the many "high tech" forms of creatine before it, all manner of claims were/are made about how superior it is to creatine monohydrate (CM). It always starts the same. First the company will invent a long list of negatives about CM such as "poorly absorbed" or "causes bloat" or "is not stable" and then goes onto claim their form of creatine has solved all those invented negatives. The problem is, the data already shows CM does not suffer from virtually any of the negatives they invent, nor do they show their form "cures" those negatives. Sellers of CCE for example claimed CEE was better absorbed and utilized vs. CM, and that has been shown to be nonsense. There have been several in vitro (test tube) studies pointing to the fact CEE is inferior to CM, but a recent study done in humans puts a final nail in the coffin as far as I am concerned. This study is titled "The effects of creatine ethyl ester supplementation combined with heavy resistance training on body composition, muscle performance, and serum and muscle creatine levels" You can read my take on this study and see my list of creatine forms:

Thanks for the great advice Will! Mixing monohydrate in wRm water is the real deal. Is that what you have in that coffee mug you always holding? :-)

HI, just stumbled upon all your videos here and really appreciated your advice and honesty! I have one simple question on creatine: Is it more beneficial to take the tablet form of creatine monohydrate or the powder?

Will have you heard about Creapure?? it's a German made creatine that claims to be superior.

I just checked out your Creatine Graveyard article, do you have links to any other studies that have been conducted that claim CEE is an inferior supplement to CM? I realize it's fairly new to the market, but there should be more information out there than that.

Hey been watching your videos and studying creatine lately. I'm 17 and started a 3 day split weight lifting program and a proper diet a month ago. I went to buy some creatine at walmart because i don't have much money and they wouldn't sell to me and said i have to be 18. I buy my whey protein there with no problem so why the hassle over creatine? same brand too.

You speak the truth Will that's what I like to see. Great job man
