Creatine Ethyl Ester is said to have a higher absorption rate than creatine monohydrate and a longer half life meaning it stays in the body for longer and dosages required are smaller. Also the increased transport mechanism by way of the ester molecule means that creatine Ethyl Ester is not dependent on insulin to drive it to the muscle in the same way creatine monohydrate was. The increased absorption of Ethyl Ester also means that the muscle will recover quicker and there is an increase in ATP turnover (energy production) within the actual muscle cell.
