Buffered creatine vs. creatine monohydrate

1. Creatinabuforated attributed benefits
Buffered form of creatine, marketed as cre-alkaline, is advertised as a more efficient form of creatinine monohydrate. According to information provided by manufacturers, buffering creatinines provides it with better stability in the stomach because it is resistant to acidic stomach juices and does not break down into useless creatine, which is only a metabolite of creatines.2. Cre-alkaline versus monohydrate is the test
The effectiveness of this creatine variant was verified by an independent scientific team led by Andrew Jagim. The researchers wanted to verify the reality of the benefits attributed to buffered creatine. The 41 people who participated in this 28-day study were divided into 3 groups. The first group took 1.5 creatine-alkaline genes each day of the study. This is the dose recommended by the manufacturer to replace as much as 15 g of normal creatine. The second group took 20 g of creatine in the first 5 days, which was the loading phase, while the remaining 21 days of this group took only 5 trohohohl creatine per day.3. The final verdict
The results presented should not surprise anyone. The main advantage of creatine alkali is its resistance to degradation in the acidic environment of the stomach, however, studies consistently show that normal creatine monohydrate is also not degraded in stomach juices and almost 99% of the creatine consumed is absorbed. Yes, it is true that the higher the pH or higher the temperature, the greater the conversion of creatinine to creatine However, studies show that for a significant change to occur, it takes up to a few days to come into contact with a low pH level.
