Creatine ethyl ester on empty stomach? Or with food?

[wotdafudge]

Ok I bought some creatine ethyl ester hcl from http://www.myprotein.com/sports-nutr.../10530204.html and it suggests taking 3gram 1 hour before working out. Well I eat 1 hour before working out and have a lot of carbs should I consume the creatine with my food or should I have it on a empty stomach?

neither. return that garbage and just get monohydrate

Although there's a recent study showing taking it post workout is most effective, just take it whenever. And also, Mono or Creatine HCL next time.

Monohydrate doesn't work for me, tried it was bad for 3 days that's why iv changed to EEC since it is supposed to digest better. Thanks anyhow

Should have switched on to HCL afterwards instead of CEE

[aaronuconn]

CEE has been proven nearly useless. On phone, someone link him to the studies.

Invest in come Creatine HCl OP

[TMac26]

CEE is absolute junk.


And 3 days on monohydrate? Let me guess, you tried to "load it". Just do 3 grams everyday, if that is too much, split the dose up into 1.5 grams twice a day.

That study kinda sucks. The study used this liquid creatine below. As I am sure you are aware, liquid creatine products are notorious for their instability and cyclization to creatinine. What I would really want to know is the effect on muscle creatine which was not evaluated. Without that, for all you know the differences could have been from the myriad of variables that were not controlled and statistical noise. BodPods aren't great at measuring body comp either. If they gave them a bottle of the product, I wonder if they dosed enough since a 10ml (1 full Delivery Detonator) serving is only 2.5 grams of creatine.
