Best Creatine

Creatine is in my opinion the greatest natural supplement ever to hit the weight lifting supplement market. I'm not going to go into depth in this article about what it is scientifically and how it came about. What I am going to do is outline a few of the major types of creatines and their innovations. There have been loads of new creatines and amazingly "super formulas" but most of them are just hype in my opinion.

The first thing to happen was the explosion of creatine monohydrate, this is the basic and most common form. It is essentially the precursor to ATP or (adenosine tri phosphate) which is muscle fuel. The problem with creatine monohydrate is that it takes a few weeks to benefit from the supplementation since it must be built up in your system through a process of "loading". Regular creatine monohydrate has a very low absorption rate in your body and also has a nasty problem of upsetting many peoples stomachs. The next innovation was micronized creatine which is the same chemical formula except smaller particles which have a higher absorption rate due to a smaller surface area. This change was accompanied by the alleviation of most stomach discomfort. Following this was the addition of sugar to either creatine monohydrate or micronized creatine. This spikes insulin levels in the body to increase absorption and can be extremely effective. It is also necessary to note that almost all of these forms are available in pill or "cap" form.

Basic creatines are great, and give many benefits but also have their share of negatives. For example the low absorption rate which makes it so that large doses have to be taken, of up to 20 grams per day. Also it can cause bloating which is creatine drawing water into all the muscle cells in your body. Because of these side effects a miracle creatine recently hit the scene known as creatine ethyl ester (CEE, CE3, etc). This is the creatine molecule with an ester attached which supposedly allows it to permeate the cell membrane or in other words increases the absorption rate to nearly perfect. I have tried several forms of this creatine and found that it remains effective with a much lesser dose and no bloating.

These are the major creatine improvements and I believe both creatine ethyl ester and creatine monohydrate and its variations are both highly effective and a must for anyone serious about transforming their body.
