Next Generations of Creatine
Recently there are many types of new or altered forms of Creatine Monohydrate such as Buffered Creatine, Tri Creatine Malate, and Creatine Ethyl Ester
Buffered Creatine
They looked for new ways to increase the period of time you have to absorb creatine. What they discovered was that every mixture had a pH that was unique to it. The lower the pH (more acidic), the faster the creatine converted to Creatinine*. The higher the pH (more Alkalyn), the slower it is converted.
that if the creatine could somehow be buffered during the manufacturing process to pH12 or greater then it would remain completely stable when mixed with water and in turn ingested. The process that results in buffered creatine gives you a form of creatine that passes intact and at full dosage levels into the blood stream.
a direct correlation between pH levels and creatinine conversion. The lower the pH, the faster it converts. As pH levels raised above 7.0, the conversion slowed dramatically. Once the pH is 12.0 and above, the conversion of creatine into creatinine is stopped.
Buffered Creatines are typically given specific brand names such as
Kre-alkylyn
Purple K
Krea K
Often they just called Buffered creatine.
Creatine Ethyl Ester
Creatine ethyl ester is creatine monohydrate with an added ester attached to make the creatine molecule more lipopholic., this makes the absorption more efficient and possibly would require less CEE to serve as an ergogenic aid.
Creatine Ethyl Ester HCL is an exceptionally soluble creatine resulting in advanced absorption, increased bioavailability, and stability. Instead of saturating your system in creatine and hoping for absorption, creatine ethyl ester directly penetrates the muscle cell resulting in 30 to 40 times more functional creatine. This means no more loading, bloating, cramping or dehydration. Most users notice a difference in their first dose.
The Most Complete and AdvancedCreatine Product actually has Buffered Creatine, Tri Creatine Malate, Creatine Ethyl Ester all together is CX3 by NeoGenixx.
Tri Creatine Malate
Tri-creatine malate is a compound made from creatine monohydrate and malic acid. The substance is so named because the compound is made from three creatine molecules attached to one molecule of malic acid.
Tri-creatine malate is a white, odorless powder.
Malic acid is involved in the Krebs energy cycle as an intermediate substance, and helps to provide energy to the body. When malic acid and creatine monohydrate form the compound Tri-creatine malate, the resulting product is more water-soluble than regular creatine monohydrate, eliminates the possibility of gastric disruption, and is more efficient at efficaciously impacting the ATP cycle. Furthermore, Tri-creatine malate is believed to offer greater bioavailability over regular creatine monohydrate.
Users of Tri-creatine malate report substantial increases in endurance and recovery from intense exercise of appropriate duration
