Talking HealthspanCreatine Monohydrate: The Gold Standard Comparing Solubility and BioavailabilityMany creatine supplement manufacturers claim their product is superior to creatine monohydrate (CrM) because it is more soluble.The sources state that solubility and bioavailability are not the same thing.Creatine monohydrate is nearly 100% bioavailable, meaning almost all of the CrM consumed is absorbed and used by the body.This high bioavailability is not affected by its solubility. Even if some CrM is undissolved in a glass of water, it will be absorbed by the body.Manufacturers often make misleading comparisons when discussing solubility. For example, one study compared the solubility of creatine hydrochloride (Cr-HCl) to CrM at very different...2024-10-1803 min
