Esterfied or Kre-Akalyn?

Just wondering if there were any studies out on the new esterfied creatines or kre-akalyns that have hit the market. My understanding is that esterfied is a monohydrate that is chemically altered. I know I have read exactly what it is somewhere, but I can’t retain the exact details. However, supposodly is absorbed better. Kre-Akalyn claims that there is no conversion to creatnie and no water retention. Does this hold true for esterfied as well. Anyone who can sum up the two and offer some insight on the better please go ahead. Thanks.

CEE dissolves better than regular CM, which might be better for those who have “bloating” etc. because they’re consuming undissolved creatine powder.
There are no distinct performance benefits though.

Creatinine is not a problem by any stretch of the imagination.

BTW-CEE should be no more than 30 cents per serving.

Cheers

Is there a brand of creatine you could recommend until T-Nation comes out with one?

I like ProLab because it’s cheap and “clean”. Anything with the CreaPure label works well.

One more quick question. Once fully loaded 5 grams after workouts or every day? In the Naked truth article it read after workouts but wasn’t sure if it was still the case.
thanks

gzafer, I still use my creatine solely after workouts, but others prefer it every day. Maybe it helps them maintain a habit, which can be important.

It’s also cheap enough to use every day. My only concern is the synthesis of transporters. While it will likely be hindered with any creatine supplementation, PWO dosing may minimize this.

Quick Note: My next creatine article will be submitted to peer review this weekend.

Cheers

I’ll have to give a hand to Kre-Alkalyn… I’ve used regular creatine products before, loading, etc. was always a pain. I tried multiple types and never truly got much out. I’ve been using Kre Alkalyn stacked with some Nitrox soft gels… believe it or not the pump from this combo is awesome. You gotta love that swollen arm feeling.
