lol i do question CEE thats why i posted above, but i'd still like to see a study done on to what degree if any CEE increases muscle creatine concentration... this would put the nail in the coffin so to speak if the stuff is useless
Fritzer makes a valid argument but the study posted and his overall points still have nothing to do with CEE's uptake in muscle tissue, the only study that has been done proves that CEE is not as stable as CM in stomach acid which doesnt really have anything to do with creatine levels in the muscles... only with how much of the original amount injested bypasses the stomach and reaches the blood stream
How else would orally injested creatine get to the muscles, if not via the blood stream? The study showed that CEE converted so quickly and thoroughly into creatinine that almost no useful creatine made it into the bloodstream. Therefore, it did not make it into muscle tissue either. Was there a muscle biopsy to show that muscle creatine stores were high with CM and low with CEE? Nope. But based on how CEE broke down into a useless (and actually potentially dangerous) bi-product of creatine in the stomach, that level of study may not even be necessary. At least, it's not for me!
With a little luck, this whole CEE bullsh*t will go away in the next couple of years, just like creatine serum did.
