Sorry Joe_Ice but you are wrong. Creatine ester is a bogus supplement. There is no scientific support that shows attaching an ester to creatine makes it any better at all. This is simply marketting BS that the companies selling the stuff are saying. You bought it hook, line and sinker.
Creatine does not even enter muscle cells via membrane permiation. So attaching an ester to it won't do jack-s#@t. And you DON'T need carbs to make creatine monohydrtae effective. Hell, just look at the research you cited to see that.
Don't believe me? Ask the companies selling the stuff to show you the research that shows creatine ester even works at all much less better.
I see where you cited all that research at the bottom of your post. That is research on Creatine Monohydrate not creatine ester. Why would you say that about creatine ester and provide references for creatine monohydrtae?
