Creatine Ethyl Ester (CEE)
Regular creatine monohydrate takes a long time to load muscle cells to their full capacity. This is why most creatine monohydrate products require a 1-2 week loading phase and a maintenance dose. Creatine ethyl ester does not have this problem as its chemical structure is such that it passes through the cell walls of the stomach intake and is absorbed efficiently by the body (according to the manufacturers). Therefore no loading phase is required as the majority of the creatine taken is utilised.
Kre-Alkalyn Creatine
Kre-Alkalyn is a chemically altered version of creatine that is processed at a higher pH level than regular creatine monohydrate. According to the manufacturer the high pH ensures that creatine does not convert to creatinine (a useless by-product). Label claims on Kre-Alkalyn propose it to be the 'no load, no cycle, no side effect, 100% stable creatine that gives you immediate results and saves you money because you use less. In fact, most athletes only need 1-3 grams a day to achieve results equal to or better than all other unstable creatine products.'
Liquid Creatine
Some companies have release liquid creatine products, where creatine is pre-mixed in a convenient liquid solution. This creatine is obviously easier to take than a powdered supplement that needs to be mixed.
Other Creatine Supplements
As mentioned before there are now many different chemical alterations of creatine that companies use because of their supposed better absorbability. Some examples include creatine alpha ketoglutarate, creatine orotate, creatine pyruvate, creatine citrate, creatine malate, magnesium creatine chelate, creatinol-o-phosphate and Creakic. These types of creatine will usually be part of a supplement containing a few different forms of creatine.
Creatine can also be combined with other ergogenic (muscle building) ingredients such as glutamine, BCAAs, beta-alanine, protein, carbohydrates and electrolytes. |
