What's Creatine Monohydrate?

Creatine monohydrate is a pharmaceutical raw material and health product additive. It can inhibit the generation of muscle fatigue factors, reduce fatigue and tension, restore physical fitness, accelerate human protein synthesis, make muscles stronger, enhance muscle elasticity, reduce cholesterol, blood lipid, and blood glucose levels, improve muscle atrophy, and delay aging in the middle-aged and elderly.

Application

Creatine monohydrate is widely used in fitness as a sports supplement. Healthcare products related to creatine monohydrate are used by athletes, bodybuilders, wrestlers, and others who wish to gain muscle mass.

Different Forms of Creatine 
There are primarily two different forms of creatine, creatine monohydrate and creatine ethyl ester. Generally speaking, creatine monohydrate is substantially cheaper than creatine ethyl ester. Creatine ethyl ester is often marketed as a more effective form of creatine due to its increased bioavailability; However, these claims do not hold up to scientific inquiry. In a study that compared creatine monohydrate and creatine ethyl ester to placebo, both creatine monohydrate and creatine ethyl ester increased muscle levels of creatine with some evidence in the paper to suggest that creatine monohydrate may have been more beneficial. Thus, it stands to reason that either creatine monohydrate or ethyl ester will work and have very similar effects with creatine monohydrate holding a very slight edge in terms of efficacy and cost per serving.
