Creatine ethyl ester is an adaptation of creatine monohydrate, put another way: a creatine monohydrate with an ester attached. This new form of creatine does the same job that ordinary creatine does, but apparently better. Not only do many people claim to have better results using it over regular creatine, but there is also an increasing amount of evidence to back up these claims.
If you’re a body builder or an athlete that wants to increase your muscle mass and muscle strength, or if you generally want to improve these areas of your physique, then this new form of creatine could definitely be the way to go. As long as a supplement is healthy and doesn’t pose any risks to your health, then anything that promises to offer better results or better effectiveness should be pursued.
In this article we’ll take a look at some of the reasons why you should seriously consider using this new supplement, and some of the things you should consider.
Easily Absorbed: The main reason why creatine ethyl ester is showing more effective results than regular creatine monohydrate, is due to it being more soluble, and thus more easily absorbed by your muscle cells. This means that for the equivalent results over the same period of time, a smaller amount of CEE is needed. Also, the increased bioavailability and stability of the creatine results in it doing a better job of maintaining muscle concentrations for long periods of time.
Membrane Permeable: Another benefit to CEE is that it is membrane permeable. This means that it doesn’t require some form of vehicle in order to be absorbed into your muscle cells. Often, a problem with regular creatine monohydrate – especially among professional bodybuilders – is that you can suffer “creatine bloating” whereby some of the creatine monohydrate is not absorbed by your muscles. CEE seems to avoid this problem by requiring a much smaller dosage for similar results, with a recommended dosage of less than 5 grams a day.
Effective For More People: CEE could also be the answer that many people suffering from many medical conditions are looking for. Those who are unresponsive to or cannot tolerate regular creatine monohydrate have a good chance of seeing the desired results with CEE instead. Even people that suffer from multiple sclerosis and are creatine non responders have a good chance of benefiting from CEE.
As you can see, these are three strong reasons that make creatine ethyl ester very promising. It basically does a better job of what creatine monohydrate does, and allows you to push yourself and your body that little bit further, resulting in better, faster results. If you’re looking to gain muscle mass and strength, lose body fat, improve muscle fibre recovery or improve your metabolism, then it’s definitely worth giving CEE a try. There are always rapid developments being made in the world of body supplements, and a lot them really aren’t worth worrying about, but in the case off CEE, it’s something you should definitely consider.
