Creatine Malate
A creatine salt and alternative to creatine monohydrate. Creatine malate is alleged to be more bioavailable as well as more effective than creatine monohydrate, due to “synergy” between creatine and malic acid (an organic acid and Kreb’s Cycle intermediate), but this has not been studied under controlled conditions.
Di-creatine malate and tri-creatine malate are variations on the same theme, with different ratios of creatine to malate (2:1 and 3:1, respectively).
See Paul’s article “Creatine Monohydrate: The BodyBuilding Wonder Supplement?” for information on the benefits of creatine supplementation.
