Different Creatine ProductsIntroduction:There has been a wide range of creatine products that is available in the market. All of these products serve the same purpose with some slight variations. Creatine products provide muscle mass, improved stamina and also performance for the bodybuilders and sports personnel. Creatine stimulates the muscle cells in the body. It improves the volume of the muscle cells, thus increase the entire muscle. The creatine also helps in storing accumulated energy in the body in the form of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) which could be used by the body when need arises. In this article we will be listing some of the creatine alcohols that are available in the market. Variants of Creatine:Creatine supplements come in various forms and flavor. The popular brand is the creatine monohydrate. Creatine monohydrate is cheap and at the same time is preferred by many of the body builders. Creatine monohydrate takes little time to show its effects as it takes time to dissolve in water. There are other variants of creatine known as the creatine anhydrous which has all the properties of monohydrate version. Creatine anhydrous is very pure as the water molecules are removed from it. This does not make much difference in terms of performance. But creatine anhydrous is little costly compared to monohydrate variant. Creatine Citrate is the citrus flavored supplement Creatine Citrate is the combination of creatine and citric acid. Citric acid is added as it gives muscle strength and stamina. It helps in producing more energy in the muscle tissues. Creatine citrate though boasts of good performance; provide 40% less creatine content but will dissolve easily in water. Less amount of creatine in this product is the reason why very few prefer to use them for quick responses. Creatine Malate and Creatine PhosphateCreatine phosphate is another variant of creatine. It is the combination of one creatine molecule and one phosphate molecule. The combination of these two molecules will give more energy in the muscle cells. Though this supplement boasts of better energy suppliers, some of the body builders feel that they are not performing as good as monohydrate. Creatine Malate is a combination of malic acid and creatine. Malic acid ad citric acids are the products, which produce energy in the body. This has been scientifically proved by the Krebs cycle theory. Malate variant dissolves in water very quickly which also signifies that they produce quick results than monohydrates. Though Creatine Malate has good performance, at time it brings distress to the stomach. Studies are undergone to know the side effects of creatine malate. Both creatine phosphate and Creatine Malate produces quick results after consumption. Other Creatine Supplements:Creatine Ester is technically known as Creatine Ethyl ester hydrochloride. It has a very high permeability in the intestines. 5 grams of creatine ester is sufficient to produce energy created by 20 grams of creatine monohydrate. Other creatine variants include Magnesium creatine and effervescent creatine. Creatine Magnesium has the magnesium molecule bounded with creatine where as effervescent creatine is mix of citric acid, bicarbonates, which have very good solubility, level in water.
