Di-acetylcreatine-ethyl-ester: 1000x better than creatine?

[Cheeky Monkey]

source: ergo-log article (March 8, 2018) titled, "Di-acetyl creatine ethyl ester is at least 1000 times more effective than regular creatine"

Summary: Italian neurologists are experimenting with a new creatine analogue, di-acetyl creatine ethyl ester. According to their in vitro studies this analogue is no less than 1000 times more effective than regular creatine. It could be that di-acetylcreatine ethyl ester, when taken orally, is deactivated in the stomach. But maybe it's not, or maybe you can inject this stuff. And then... Well, this super creatine that will probably end up on the WADA doping list.

Anyone know if this has potential? I read the article but I'm not exactly sure about the science part. But this will be the first creatine that will be banned by WADA so it must be something special.

Where do you buy this.

But if you can reach saturation using "plain old" creatine safely, conveniently, and affordably, why would you want to bother injecting something instead? Also, WADA isn't always the best indicator of the effectiveness of supplements; just because something is on their list doesn't mean it's more effective than something that isn't.

This serves no real purpose except for people with creatine transporter issues. It’s not 1000x more effective, it’s just 1000x more potent. Since 3-5g of creatine is sufficient for just about everyone and costs next to nothing, there really isn’t a benefit to this.

^^^^ replies above are on spot!!! MCC, mono or Creatine hcl all work fine for me. When yu can get 1200 g of Sns creatine mono for less than $20 it make no sense to buy a 30day supply of this for $30 or so
