Type of Creatine:

a)Creatine Monohydrate

This is the most common creatine among all kind.The composition of creatine monohydrate is approximately 80% creatine 12% water.

b)Creatine Citrate

This type of creatine will be dissolves readily and faster when water mixed into it.However, the creatine contain in its, is 40% less than monohydrate and is more expensive than monohydrate.

c)Creatine Phosphate(PCr)

In order for creatine to be effective, it need to bond with phosphate group and become PCr.This is the reason why people choose this readily make PCr.However,the ratio of creatine phosphate has only 62.3% creatine and 37.7% phosphate.This mean 1 gram only produces 623 mg of creatine compare to monohydrate 880mg.Beside that,it is more expensive than monohydrate as well.

d)Tri-Creatine Malate

Tri-creatine malate is a compound made from 3 creatine monohydrate and malic acid. Apparently, this type of cretaine is getting pretty good feedback from consumer. It is says to replace the old school creatine monohydrate. Creatine malate has fixed some of the disadvantage of the traditional creatine monohydrate,such as water retention that might lead to hydration , bloated stomach and it is more efficaciously impacting the ATP cycle. The malate form allegedly provides more muscular energy and endurance. It also is more water soluble and thus gets easily absorbed in the body. This Creatine also doesn't require a loading phase.

e)Creatine Ethylester HCl

Creatine ethyl ester is more water soluble compared to the ordinary creatine monohydrate. As the creatine ethyl ester penetrates into the muscle tissues more easily, very less amount of this supplement is needed for good muscle growth. The amount of creatine supplement to be consumed also has reduced. 5 grams of creatine ethyl ester gives as much energy as 15-20 grams of creatine monohydrate. However, studies have proved contradictory results, when CEE products were mixed with an acidic solution, within 30 minutes 70% of CEE degraded to Creatinine(waste)
