Creatine Monohydrate the Real Truth!

The Real Truth about Creatine MonoHydrate!





Creatine ethyl Esther, Creatine hydro chloride, di creatine malate, creatine ...... and on and on.....with all the new versions of creatine out there isn't amazing to learn that Creatine MonoHydrate is still your best choice when it comes to athletic performance. All these new versions are highly marketed to make you believe that absorption is better through the new form than through monohydrate...NOT TRUE!

It's very simple actually, the companies touting these new creatine versions and creatine formulas are trying to convince you of a very flawed notion that creatine monohydrate has poor bioavailability due to lower aqueous solubility (water) and consequently, low absorption from the small intestine. They continue to drive this through their marketing tactics even though there is absolutely no published data to support the arguments that creatine monohydrate has low absorption or oral bioavailability. In fact, the truth is just the opposite; the absorption of creatine monohydrate is nearly 100 percent.

It is however very important to note that skeletal muscle can only absorb and store a limited amount of creatine; so with creatine monohydrate having little room for improvement from an absorption standpoint, we must consider the fact that the muscle can only transport so creatine; and tissue saturation is going to occur at some point. I feel that 3 grams of Creatine Monohydrate taken on heavy training days (3 days per week) is the optimal dosage for serious athletes. No loading or super pre loading required!

In conclusion; quit reading about all the hype and sizzle, arm yourself with this knowledge and know that Creatine Monohydrate like ABB' CreaForce, Labrada's CreaLean, Optimum Nutrtion Creatine 300gm and EAS Phosphagen is the best form of creatine that you can take; your body and your wallet will thank you for it.
