Ironically enough i got into a debate a couple years ago with a rep here. My contention was that ethyl esterification would not result in increased absorption or prevent conversion to creatinine. While this contention of increased absorption had been know to work with some substances -the exact opposite held true with others. I suspected the latter would be the case witrh creatine. I had no proof...just opinion based on sound speculation.Originally Posted by sensaispike
Well it turns out i was apparently correct(dont get it twisted -not always the case). A study by Dr Tallon and Dr Child from the uk compared 2 cee products against regular old monohydrate. After exposure to stomach acids one cee product degraded to the point that only 75% of it was available for absorption. The other cee product degraded to the point that only 11% was available!
Regular monohydrate...held steady at 99% availability......
Other studies (i believe University of Tulsa) showed cee was no more effective..possibly less effective...and surely less effective due to lower doasges in most cee products (flawed logic - you need less because more is absorbed)....
If cee doesnt bloat you when regular creatine mono does...its probably just because you arent getting the amount of creatine that is effective due to degradation or underdosage.
