Does it even matter which creatine would be best for me?

1. Creatine, what is it?
Creatine is a simple organic compound found mainly in muscle tissue (95%). In muscles it is stored as phosphocreatine (66%) and free creatine (33%). This compound is among the best known and studied substances available in current dietary supplements and nutrients for athletes. The most important task of creatine is to store energy in muscle co-cells in such a way that it can be released quickly, almost immediately.2. Types of creatine
Monohydrate is the most commonly prescribed and best known form of creatine. Creatine is the combination of monohydrate with intermediates in the cancer cycle (organic citric acid). Citrine has a better metabolism for phosphoric acid, which means that it is better absorbed in muscle cells. It is the simplest and most well-known form of creatinine. It can be used for the production of phosphorous and non-magnetic compounds in two or three-dimensional processes.3. Research
Creatine is the best-studied substance among supplements and therefore the safest. As studies published at the turn of the last few years in Medicine and Science in Sport and Exercise, Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine,International Journal of Sport Nutrition, and Sports Medicine show, the differences in action between monohydrate and apple and other forms of creatine made from monohidrate are very small. Another equally interesting study is a 2003 study where a research team led by Greenwood and Cream proved that supplementation with creatine for 8 weeks led to an increase in muscle mass in the range of 2.25 to 6.75 kg.4. Opinion of the European Parliament and of the Council
The supplement market is trying to convince everyone that the newer forms of creatine are better than the older forms of monohydrate and apples. The manufacturers are right, but only partially. These differences are small enough that they do not compensate in any way for the increased costs of such a supplementation.
