NEXT LEVEL CREAETHYL™ is a very new product that has been recently introduced into the bodybuilding community and has been showing significant promise. NEXT LEVEL CREAETHYL™ is creatine monohydrate with an ester attached. It is particularly advantageous for those doing strength training, or looking at increasing lean muscle mass or their athletic performance. These are the same areas where creatine monohydrate has shown to be effective, except NEXT LEVEL CREAETHYL™ is more effective due to it being more easily absorbed by the body. It has been reported to be 30 to 40 times more functional than regular creatine monohydrate.

This requires some short explanation. NEXT LEVEL CREAETHYL™ is much more soluble than traditional creatine products, which means that it transports to the muscles much faster and more effectively. Regular creatine monohydrate is generally absorbed poorly by the body and the degree of its effectiveness is limited by the ability of the body's cells to absorb it. Its low solubility means the creatine user needs to take larger dosages to reach the desired effect. But larger dosages can also have a side effect. Creatine, in general, attracts water into the cells and when the creatine monohydrate is not absorbed fully into the cells (such as is the case, usually) the unabsorbed creatine is stored outside the cells with the water and therefore causes what is known as “Creatine Bloat” (1, 2). NEXT LEVEL CREAETHYL™ is able to prevent this and is able to attract the bloating water into the muscle.

NEXT LEVEL CREAETHYL™ also uses body fat more effectively, because of the ester attached. Ester is found in the fat tissue of animals and this is what makes NEXT LEVEL CREAETHYL™ so significant and beneficial. This is because the creatine utilizes lipids to permeate the cell wall and the esterification of substances increases their lipopholic abilities - meaning that NEXT LEVEL CREAETHYL™ is able to infuse the cell walls and provide maximum benefits to the muscles much easier than normal creatine monohydrate. Monohydrate is only semi-lipopholic and therefore is not able to use fat effectively or permeate the cell wall as well as NEXT LEVEL CREAETHYL™. This is what is meant by the body cells not absorbing creating monohydrate easily and resulting in a larger intake of creatine needed. Because of the increased bioavailability and stability that NEXT LEVEL CREAETHYL™ provides, the creatine does a better job of maintaining muscle concentrations over a much longer period.

NEXT LEVEL CREAETHYL™ provides a solid appearance to muscles and no water retention. The advantages of NEXT LEVEL CREAETHYL™ are obvious. It is highly recommended especially for those who are looking to gain muscle mass, lose body fat, improve their muscle fiber recovery and their metabolism, or just get that extra push that they need to work harder.
