Creatine Ethyl Ester vs. Creatine Monohydrate

To the dedicated lifter life can be long. I would suggest trying both once with an open mind and alot of work and make the decision that way. Sadly this will be debated for quite some time I' m sure with some people saying this is proven and some saying that is. I truly learn more with personal experience and that of my workout partners who use alot of supps and we have almost daily feedback in the gym and funny enough we all know what each other is cycling, how it's coming along and about how long they have been on it. Creatine is a good supp to use for those who havn't been in the sport for too long and remain effective for those who have so use it.

my experience

I was introduced to this site while in my creatine research.
I spent two days digesting everything I could on the subject.
Seemed to be pluses and minuses on both sides.

I am 47 and have been working out (martial arts) with limited weight training for two years. I train five days a week. My problem was recovery. If I lifted, it would take me three days to recover. I new I needed lift days, but it seriously affected my other training days.

I chose CEE mainly because of the purported lack of GI upset and most of what I read suggested include some simple carbs with the mono and I can't afford the carbs.

Received my Ironmag CEE on Jan. 29, first dose Jan. 30. I am taking at half the recommended dosage for now.

Results after first week have been great. In two years I have never been more ready to work out. Muscle fatigue and soreness has definitely improved.
And So far absolutely NO side effects at all. No bloating or upset stomach.
I have always drank plenty of water, 4-6 qts. per day. i have not changed my water intake total, just timing with CEE. Also, I can already see the results in the mirror. And I am not ripped.

So do your due diligence, make your decision, see what works for your situation.

Thanks to all for educating a newb.

my stance, again, has always been, go with mono, it is the most proven supplement in existence, if you get stomache issues or bloat, go with cee. i am not one of the alarmists who sees the stability studies and freak out. cee should be taken in pills either way, so that negative aspect can be partially avoided.

well, at least we can agree on this part.
