Creatine Ethyl Ester HCL (CEE) is a more effective variant of the classic dietary supplement Creatine Monohydrate. CEE is essentially creatine monohydrate with the addition of an attached ethyl ester compound. It is generally easier for the body to absorb it when combined to alternative sources. Main benefits of CEE over traditional forms of creatine are that smaller doses are required to get the same effect, also, CEE is the perfect creatine supplement for those "non-responders" to creatine monohydrate, with no cramping, bloating or water retention. Creatine has been shown to boost explosive energy levels, making it ideal for sprinters, bodybuilders, high intensity sports athletes or any sports where short bursts of effort are required (i.e. soccer, rugby, basketball etc.). CEE It is a great option for those who suffer bloating or discomfort from other forms of creatine. Creatine provides energy for the muscles, especially beneficial for quick, powerful and explosive movements. Creatine increases the body’s ability to produce energy rapidly by increasing the availability of muscular energy (ATP) in the muscle for explosive bursts of activity. This in turn increases muscular strength, speed and power and delays the onset of fatigue. Creatine also pulls water into your muscle cells, making them feel and appear larger and more firm. Creatine is naturally produced by our bodies and also found in red meats and fish.
