Question regarding (Creatine Ethyl-Ester)

I've been taking MRI CE2 Platinum for about 2 months now. I have noticed the water weight when i get on the scale but I haven't noticed any water bulk in the face or in my arms like I did in college using cell tech. Although I have been doing cardio a few times a week along with my weight resistance, so its possible I've expelled the excess water.
My question:
Does anybody know some hard facts about this different creatine such as whether it works better or worse than Monohydrate? And should I be taking the pills with some sort of sugary juice or liquid for it to absorb more efficiently?
 
There have been studies showing that it actually converts to creatinine quicker than cm does. It seems that CEE had initial hype, but it seems we have some companies switching back to CM, as it has the most research behind it.

Personally, I'll stick with creatine monohydrate. I've taken green magnitude which has cee but I've seen better results with good creatine products like ultimate nutrition's creapure or neovar.
 
Yeah this is the 3rd time today I've seen Neovar brand pop up. Its unfortunate its so expensive. I'll probably still give it a shot though..

yeah its pretty expensive but its one of the products I've actually seen results from -- but in the end creatine is creatine, so thats why I take plain cm, if I have extra money lying around then I will go for neovar, but it is too much to buy every month.
 
I looked over the site you sent. Since I have maybe another few weeks worth of this crap should I double up on it? Maybe get a bit more effect?
 
Ok so while CEE is inferior to Mono according to the last site you posted, could I be getting absolutely anything from these? Should I just feed them to the dog or can I double up on the dose until they're gone?

yeah some people still swear by cee but I just choose the creatine that is backed by research. by the same point, i don't buy into kre-alkalyn, tri creatine malate, etc. as for feeding it to your dog, i don't think dogs have strong enough kidneys lol.
 
Interesting. Well upshot here is they say there's "some" effects. As little as they may be I'm better off finishing this crap and moving on to the real stuff. Honestly I still think I've gotten 'some' endurance improvements over the last couple of months. Really could just be in my head but F... it. Not the end of the world and Monohydrate is dirt cheap...while the stuff I have now is just...dirt. HA *sob *sob
 
I still have some CEE left and i can tell when im on or off it. Endurance drops a bit, but i too will be switching to mono
 
Ah sweet I'm not the only person. I can really feel the endurance when I'm hitting cardio after weight resistance. I also got some for my mom to help lower her cholesterol and increase bone density. I like ..or liked CE2 because it contains to stimulants.
 
I just picked up a tub of Jack3d and am enjoying it. That has mono in it and stims. I was stimmed as hell today when I took it... but im only taking it on lifting days so I think im gonna pick up some mono to use on off days... just so im not taking days off of mono

be glad you have cee pills, the powder (which is what i have) is absolutely HORRID, but yes i agree, my last run i was taking CEE with heavy weights and HIIT cardio, as soon as i stopped CEE i felt like i was overtraining, like i couldnt push through alot of ****
 
Does it give you the water bulk? Cell Tech used to give it to me but i was in college so I kinda liked looked slightly bigger than what i actually was. Also what is Stims? Is it a stimulant? Any side effects? I'm still in the dark ages with some of this.
 
That im not sure of yet, just stated taking it.

As far as the stims go, it has Geranium (1,3-Dimethylamylamine) which has been compared to Ephedrine alot just without the crash, and caffeine

it also has creatine mono, Beta Alanine, and AAKG

it seem,s to be pretty good stuff, and if you just use it as a pre workout supp it should last you at least a month or two... too expensive to run everyday tho
 
Jack3d is the best, and most basic pre-workout supplement out there. And it works! Creatine Monohydrate is the best creatine, hands down.

Take Jack3d pre-workout, and Phophagen Elite Post workout...which is another one of my favorite supplements, but is a little pricey...you're probably better off just getting your own Dextrose, Creatine Mono, and Beta-Alanine and make your own.

Dextrose, Creatine Mono, and Beta-Alanine are in Jack3d or Phophegaen E?
 
What I'm concerned about is that people are still bad mouthing CEE, which in my readings, and experiences, all they show is how fast its broken down. I haven't read anything in regards to actual proven lack of benifits because everyone who has every taken it has said they know when they are on it and not. They have the strength gains associated with the advertising, and there has been nothing showing the absorption rate of the different creatines. It still gets into the muscle, but depending on dosage, when tests of the levels were taken in regards to the supplementation and so forth, I don't see anything that will keep me from using it because I know how my body feels when I'm on it.

Phosphagen Elite. Dextrose helps with the absorption of Creatine mono.

Creatine Mono, Beta-Alanine, and Arginine are in Jack3d though...You should take creatine mono. before and after workouts.
 
looks potent. people are crazy about this stuff!
I'm gonna have to see what the hype is about after I finish the sus.
