Creatine is a substance, produced in our bodies in the liver from a combination of amino acids. Over 95% of the body’s creatine stores are found in skeletal muscle tissue. This molecule is used in the production and restoration of ATP – a key energy source for working muscles.
Exogenous creatine is normally not absorbed efficiently because it requires a system to be transported across cell membranes – most users mix creatine with sugar to use insulin as the transport. The remaining amounts of creatine that are not absorbed into the muscle cells turn into a by-product called creatinine. This by-product has no use and is simply excreted.
How can you get a better bang for your buck instead of losing precious creatine to creatinine conversion?
Creatine Ethyl Ester!
Creatine Ethyl Ester is a modified form of creatine where an ethyl ester molecule has been attached to improve transportation into muscle cells….drastically! This improved absorption means a smaller serving size will pack the same punch as the larger serving sizes needed with basic creatine monohydrate.
Creatine Ethyl Ester goes great with a number of different supplements. Supplements containing L-Arginine (pump products) and weight gaining shakes are excellent complimentary products to take along with Creatine Ethyl Ester.
