MONOHYDRATE
    Creatine ethyl ester is definitely one of the best supplements on the market.  Creatine monohydrate is the cheapest but it has many side effects and doesn't work nearly as well as CEE.  The monohydrate has a very tough time getting absorbed into the muscle cells so it surrounds each cell causing the person to bloat and retain water.  Does putting more gas in your car make it go faster?  No, it is the rate it is taken in and burned.  The bloating makes the user of monohydrate constantly thirsty as it uses a lot if water to get absorbed through the lipid layer of the cell.  The creatine that is not absorbed and used after a while turns into creatinine, a byproduct that is considered a toxin to the body.  The liver works very hard constantly making enzymes to break down the creatinine.  Excessive amounts of monohydrate are hard on the liver.  Excessive amounts can also lead to vomiting and diarrhea, same as if you start sucking in any other toxin. 

ETHYL ESTER
    Creatine ethyl ester is a new product flowing into the market.  CEE is proven to have up to 39 times more absorption rate.  This takes away all the serious side effects of the monohydrate and works much better.  CEE does not cause bloating, so there is much less water being wasted in attempts to get into the cell.  Some water is needed with CEE because you are moving that much more weight (if your car takes in and burns more gas, it will need to use more oil).  It is very hard to cause diarrhea or vomiting with CEE unless you exceed around 10g in a short amount of time.

CREATINE IN THE CELL
    For energy, the body breaks food into small packets of energy called ATP (adenine tri phosphate).  Whenever substances are bonded together, energy is stored.  Long story short, ATP is sent to the the area in need of energy where a phosphate is unbound releasing energy.  ADP (Adenine Di Phosphate) is sent back to the place in the cell that binds the phosphate to pick up another phosphate and more energy.  Then it goes to the area in need of the energy and so on.  One cell creates tens of thousands of ATP from food and oxygen in the cell wall and cytosol (gel interior part of cell around the organelles).  Creatine makes the whole ATP>ADP>ATP circle go faster.  It replenishes energy in each cell faster burning more energy and oxygen (you'll breath a little harder when you lift).  Therefore creatine will do nothing for you if you sit around on it, you won't notice it until you start burning energy.  Therefore it also does not directly cause anabolism in muscle cells or "bulking."  This means females can take it to work out and lose fat without worrying about getting big.  They would need one of the hormones (yes, testosterone is one of them) or a lot of leucine (several grams per day) to trigger anabolism and "bulk"
    Anyone considering getting CEE could buy an 80 serving bottle for around 25 US dollars.  You could also buy it in a mix of other creatines such as Magnesium creatine chelate (MCC) or Tri Creatine Malate (TCM).  I would strongly suggest Universal Animal Pump.  It has all these creatines and other ingredients that put NO Explode to shame.  Over my time of lifting I have become a strong supporter of the Universal Animal line of products, however I found that they don't work very well if taken not as instructed.  Just take an Animal Pump 30 mins. before you lift on an empty stomach (haven't eaten more than a yogurt or something small in the last two hours) and its amazing.
