'''Creatine ethyl ester''', also known as '''creatine ester''', '''cre-ester''' and '''CEE''', is a substance sold as an aid for athletic performance and for muscle development in ]. It is an ] ] derivative of ], from which it is made. In the body, CEE is converted back into creatine.{{Citation needed|date=April 2010}} CEE is said to have a much better absorption rate and a longer ] in the body than regular ], because it is slightly more ].{{Citation needed|date=April 2010}} It is also proposed to bypass the creatine transporter, thereby increasing skeletal muscle uptake of creatine and leading to an increased ability to regenerate ATP.<ref name="Spillane2009">{{cite journal | doi = 10.1186/1550-2783-6-6 | pmc = 2649889 | title = The effects of creatine ethyl ester supplementation combined with heavy resistance training on body composition, muscle performance, and serum and muscle creatine levels | pmid = 19228401 | year = 2009 | last1 = Spillane | first1 = Mike | last2 = Schoch | first2 = Ryan | last3 = Cooke | first3 = Matt | last4 = Harvey | first4 = Travis | last5 = Greenwood | first5 = Mike | last6 = Kreider | first6 = Richard | last7 = Willoughby | first7 = Darryn S | journal = Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition | volume = 6 | pages = 6}}</ref> However, in a published study comparing the two, CEE was not as effective at increasing serum and muscle creatine levels or in improving body composition, muscle mass, strength, and power.<ref name="Spillane2009" /> The same study found CEE to be comparable to placebo.
