Creatine ethyl ester

The liver produces creatine to supply energy to muscle cells and the body has increased need for it during physical activity. The liver makes it naturally out of tree amino acids called arginine, glycine and methionine. Creatine Ethyl Ester is a supplemental substance that is sold for athletes to use to enhance muscle development in their bodybuilding efforts and to enhance athletic performance. This substance is like creatine monohydrate only it has an ester attached to it. This type of creatine supplement is called the “next generation creatine” by many in the bodybuilding industry. The esters are attached so that more creatine is able to be absorbed by the muscles. Esther also eliminates certain side effects like bloating and dehydration that some people experience when they take creatine monohydrate. Creatine ethyl ester was developed, patented and licensed through UNeMed which the technology transfer entity of the University of Nebraska Medical Center. It is now being sold under numerous brand names.

Creatine ethyl ester was created so that the uptake from creatine monohydrate supplements would be more readily absorbed by the body. This way a smaller dose can be taken to get the same beneficial effects of larger doses of creatine monohydrate. Creatine monohydrate uses lipids or fats as a transport mechanism less efficiently. When Ester is added to creatine monohydrate it creases the efficiency of fat transportation. Simply put absorption of creatine ethyl ester is much better at being absorbed than the absorption of creatine monohydrate is. There is also less side effects from dehydration and bloating that normally occur when one takes creatine monohydrate.

Body builders and professional athletes like to take Creatine Ethyl Ester because it increases lean body mass and promotes muscle growth. The strength gains are much more noticeable as well. Athletes are able to experience can short bursts of increased power out put when working out. Athletes and bodybuilders usually take 3 to 6 g of Creatine ethyl ester per day on average. However the dosage depends on body weight and training level.

Creatine ethyl ester provides other benefits that most muscle building supplements are not able to match. Creatine plays an important role in giving muscles energy they need. It facilitates the production of adenosine triphophate that muscles need to produce energy. Adenosine triphospate is depleted rapidly during intense physical workouts. Taking Creatine ethyl ester gives your body higher levels of the substance so that body builders can train harder and longer. They are able to complete more reps so they can build bigger and stronger muscles. Since the supplement is more fat-soluble it is easier for it to pass through to cell membranes and get into the muscles more effectively. In short, the ethyl ester makes the absorption of the creatine more rapidly available so their workouts can last longer.

Besides taking Creatine Ethyl Ester supplements it is very important to eat a proper diet and make sure you are eating plenty of high quality protein. Foods like lean meats poultry and fish will give plenty of protein in the diet. When the bodybuilder or athlete eats the right kinds of food along with taking the right amounts of creatine ethyl ester they can achieve their weight gaining goals more efficiently. Creatine is an established and valuable supplement in the bodybuilding industry. Creatine ethyl ester has caused a lot of controversy in bodybuilding circles, because of the claims that it works much better and more efficiently than creatine monohydrate. The controversy seems to be caused by rivalry and competition in the body building supplementation industry. You can find more out about creatine ethyl ester supplements by talking to professionals in the bodybuilding industry. These supplements are sold online and in supplement supply stores in your local area.
