It's rubbish. It's actually less acid-stable than normal creatine:

And there isn't a shred of evidence that it has any advantage over it.

CEE is patented -- thus, the mfr.'s of creatine monohydrate (who don't
want to pay for the licensing to make CEE) will knock CEE any which
way they can.

esterification is a proven means to make water-soluble nutrients more
bio-available.

this has been empirically proven in the case of Vitamin C versus
Ester-C.

it is simply a matter of time before the evidence shows this to be the
case with CEE as well...

Ester-C is not actually a vitamin C ester. Vitamin C esters are not
actually any better than straight vitamin C, because they hydrolyse as
soon as they hit the stomach acid.

On the bright side, you are actually an idiot. So at least we have one
positive result!

Except the evidence is already in, and shows the exact opposite.

NEXT.

who's evidence ?

the mfr.'s of creatine monohydrate
(who don't want to pay for the licensing to make CEE)
