Creatine Ethyl Ester (CEE)

Pure pharmaceutical grade for maximum bioavailability.

Creatine Ethyl Ester is creatine with an ester molecule attached. Esters are organic compounds that help shuttle the creatine across lipid membranes of the gut and directly into the bloodstream for direct transport to your muscle cells. This prevents the creatine from being destroyed in the gut or being heavily converted to creatinine and drives more creatine directly into muscle tissue where it is used to increase lean tissue, improve cell volumization, delay fatigue and pump up your endurance and strength.

• Volumize muscle size improving strength and power.
• Dramatically boost strength & athletic performance.
• Quickly replenish ATP for peak power output.
• Maximize your body's production of energy.
• Buffers lactic acid for added reps & more intense workouts.
• Highly bio-available with superior absorption.
• Great for creatine "Non Responders".
• No cramping, bloating or water retention.

Creatine Ethyl Ester is an advanced, highly bio-active form of creatine that increases cell volumization, anaerobic energy production and shortens recovery periods between workouts.

Creatine Ethyl Ester offers superior absorption:

Since regular creatine monohydrate is not fully absorbed, the unabsorbed creatine will draw water outside of the muscle cell and will result in "creatine bloat." With CEE, the absorption of esterified creatine will be increased and the infamous "creatine bloat" will be eliminated! Users report substantial increases in strength, with none of the gastrointestinal discomfort or water bloat associated with the monohydrate form.

By chemically bonding creatine to the ethyl ester molecule, creatine ethyl ester efficiently bypasses the gut and has the ability to enter the muscle cell directly giving you superior absorption and cell volumization. Unlike creatine monohydrate which can be converted into creatinine in the gut, ethyl ester is shuttled directly to the muscle cells. As a result, more creatine is able to enter the muscle cells creating a pro-muscle growth environment by increasing ATP stores and cell volumization.

Because creatine ethyl ester is much better absorbed by the body, it is required in lower dosages than creatine monohydrate. Additionally, because less creatine ethyl ester is required to achieve similar or better results than creatine monohydrate there are less digestive problems such as bloating and less water retention outside the muscle cells. Enzymes that shuttle creatine to the muscle cells are always working efficiently because they are not saturated with extreme amounts of creatine monohydrate. So, rather than having bloated or puffy looking muscle from the extra-cellular water retention that creatine monohydrate causes, users of creatine ethyl ester will have larger, harder and more defined muscles.

Creatine Ethyl Ester doesn't cause transporter downgrade:

Creatine monohydrate requires a creatine transporter protein for its uptake into muscle cells. Some research has shown that chronic supplementation with regular creatine can cause creatine transporter downgrade. This means creatine cannot efficiently be taken up by the muscle cell. Creatine transporter downgrade is a non-issue with Creatine-ethyl ester because it uses ethyl ester as a transporter.

Works for creatine "Non Responders":

A portion of the population finds that they get little or no results from creatine and have been categorized as creatine non-responders. If you are a creatine non-responder than Creatine Ethyl Ester is a great option for you. The fact is, you can't experience the incredible effects of creatine unless your muscular creatine concentrations reach optimal levels. Creatine Ethyl Ester maximizes creatine absorption and concentration in the muscle by taking advantage of ethyl ester as a transporter of creatine.

CEE powder has a strong bitter taste unlike creatine monohydrate which has no taste, CEE powder has a strong, bitter and bad taste. CEE tastes best when mixed with strong flavored juices, but is still pretty bad. Our customers recommend the shot method: mix your CEE with 2-3 ounces of juice and drink it like a shot, then wash it down with the rest of your beverage. The benefit of our pure powder CEE is that it is pure pharmaceutical grade CEE which charges directly into the muscle, however, its strong taste it is not for everyone.  It is pretty hardcore so if you're worried about taste you might want to stick with the capsules or the Creatine Ethyl Ester Malate.

Warning - Fake CEE has hit the Internet - Beware:

NutraBio.com sells only legitimate Creatine Ethyl Ester HCL which has been lab tested for potency and purity. Don't be fooled by competitors that blend creatine monohydrate and ethyl ester and call it creatine ethyl ester, it's not. Legitimate CEE is made of creatine that has been chemically bonded to the ethyl ester to form a single molecule. The cheap blended so called CEE is not chemically bonded and is not effective because the body treats the creatine and the ethyl ester as 2 separate molecules. Since the ethyl ester is not chemically bonded to the creatine it can't act as a shuttle to carry the creatine across the lipid membranes.

Creatine Boosts Muscle Strength, Strength and Endurance:

Creatine is one of the most researched and important sports supplements today. It has become a must for athletes wanting to increase workout intensity while delaying the onset of fatigue. Research has shown that supplementing with creatine can boost muscle size, strength and endurance, improve athletic performance, and speed muscle recovery. Saturating your muscles with creatine improves your body's ability to quickly replenish and recycle ATP, which increases muscle energy and delays muscle fatigue. Studies show that when athletes supplement with creatine while weight training, they can quickly gain lean body mass and strength.

Creatine may Act as a Lactic Acid Buffer Improve Exercise Recovery Time:

Lactic acid is a bi-product from anaerobic (without oxygen) exercise, such as weight training. Lactic acid is responsible for the 'burning' sensation when the muscle becomes fatigued. When you cannot train anymore, it is due to you either having run out of energy or a build up of lactic acid. Creatine may act as a buffer for this lactic acid, which helps to delay the onset of fatigue.

Creatine Stimulates Protein Synthesis:

It has been demonstrated that creatine may also promote muscle growth by stimulating protein synthesis in two ways. Firstly, from the increased work you are able to do as a result of its energy replenishing actions. Secondly is that the more creatine phosphate (CP) that is stored in muscle, the more water is drawn into muscle making it fuller and stronger. With more CP and water in muscle, the volume increases, and the muscle cell is volumized or 'super-hydrated'. A volumized muscle helps to trigger protein synthesis, minimize protein breakdown and increase glycogen synthesis (Haussinger 1996; 1996). If a muscle is then trained properly, this could lead to enhanced muscle growth. The muscle 'pump' experienced when using creatine is reported to be much more intense, and this is as a result of the cell volumizing effect.

How does creatine work? 

Studies show that when athletes supplement with creatine while weight training, they can quickly gain lean body mass and strength - sometimes within a week. A study conducted by the University of Memphis divided 63 athletes into three groups. The groups were given either a protein and carbohydrate supplement with creatine monohydrate, a protein and carbohydrate supplement without creatine monohydrate, or a carbohydrate placebo. In one month, the athletes taking creatine monohydrate gained 5-7 pounds of lean mass which far exceeded the two groups not taking creatine.

Muscle cells generate mechanical work from an energy liberating chemical reaction -- ATP is split into ADP and P (phosphate). ATP can be used by muscle cells very quickly, but there is only an extremely limited supply -- usually only enough for a few seconds of high intensity work. When the ATP is gone, work stops. Fortunately, the body has several ways to convert ADP back to ATP. The fastest method is to move the phosphate group off of phosphocreatine and onto ADP. This yields ATP -- which is immediately available for muscular work -- and creatine. There is enough phosphocreatine to keep ATP levels up for several more seconds. So at this point we've moved from 2 - 3 seconds of all-out work (ATP) to almost 10 seconds (ATP + creatine).

The body can recharge creatine back to phosphocreatine, but this takes time (approximately 30-60 seconds). This ATP + creatine system makes up the fastest component of the anaerobic system, and is most used by power athletes. A good example is trench warfare in football (i.e., 6 seconds of all out force, followed by 45 seconds of standing around).

A proprietary blend is a cheap gimmick used by manufacturers to hide the real truth about what's in their product. By listing a bunch of ingredients under one blend on the label, the manufacturer only has to tell you how much of the blend is in a serving while hiding how much of each ingredient is in a serving. They pretend to this to protect their secret formula, that’s bull, they do it so they can cheapen their product without their customers knowing. In the industry we call this “Window Dressing” the product the label looks good on the outside but there is nothing really happening on the inside. At NutraBio our Supplement Facts panels list the exact amount of each and every active ingredient in the supplement. No guessing, you know exactly what you are getting in every product we sell.
