Yes, creatine is legal in the NHL as it is not included in the league's list of banned substances. Players are responsible for ensuring that any supplements they take comply with the league's anti-doping policies.
Yes it is. Creatine ethyl ester is just another more expensive form of creatine monohydrate, that is "absorbed" better than regular creatine. Creatine is legal to take, but coaches are not allowed to provide it for their athletes. I actually just got out of our NCAA meeting and we talked about this same thing.
yes
Creatine Phosphate + ADP --> (Creatine Kinase) --> Creatine + ATP
Well lets start off with the fact that any product that has creatine is legal. I have been playing football all my life and am now in college. I have taken creatine and gotten tested and nothing comes up. Myoplex is defenetly not the best creatine out there but its most certainly legal. And as far as the bad effects go you just need to drink alot of water and you should be fine.
Creatine is a legal substance, you can get it almost anywhere. The more important thing to look at is what is mixed in with your creatine. There are a lot of creatine mixes that contain copious amounts of sugar - this is incredibly counterproductive to the purpous of taking creatine (gaining muscle).
Creatine phosphate + ADP_______> creatine + ATP This is catalyzed by the enzyme creatine kinase.
Vitamins are totally different things to creatine. Good sources for creatine are fish and red meat. If you are willing you can also look into supplementing creatine. Creatine monohydrate is the most proven type of creatine supplement.
how creatine supplements are manufactured
Creatine Ethyl Ester is a newer, slightly more expensive form of the popular supplement creatine. Creatine is most commonly sold in the form of creatine monohydrate. Creatine ethyl ester is, essentially, a modified form of creatine monohydrate that has been "esterified." This means that an ethyl ester compound has been attached to the creatine, which theoretically makes it more efficiently absorbed by the body.
