Creatine Monohydrate: The Gold Standard Comparing Solubility and Bioavailability
Talking Healthspan por David Propst
Notas del episodio
- Many creatine supplement manufacturers claim their product is superior to creatine monohydrate (CrM) because it is more soluble.
- The sources state that solubility and bioavailability are not the same thing.
- Creatine monohydrate is nearly 100% bioavailable, meaning almost all of the CrM consumed is absorbed and used by the body.
- This high bioavailability is not affected by its solubility. Even if some CrM is undissolved in a glass of water, it will be absorbed by the body.
- Manufacturers often make misleading comparisons when discussing solubility. For example, one study compared the solubility of creatine hydrochloride (Cr-HCl) to CrM at very different pH levels, misrepresenting real-world solubility.
- The main benefit of increased solubility in alternat ...
