What's the difference between the two?

Creatine Monohydrate:
Cheapest, most abundant, most studied form of creatine. Typically powder although it is creatine(88%) that is bound with water(12%) For most people CM works well, plenty of reports and studies to back this up. At introduction, CM often caused intestinal cramps, bloating, and diarrhea because it was not ground to a fine powder. Most of today's CM is micronized (20x smaller than original particles), making it easier to mix into solution.

Creatine Ester:
The most recent creatine product to be formulated is CE. Technichally, creatine ester ethyl hydrochloride (an alcohol and an acid). Desighned by scientists at the University of Nebraska Medical Center to increase the bioavailability of creatine. The attached ester group lets the creatine pass across cell membranes (intestines and muscle cells) more easily. Theoretically, it should be absorbed better and taken up by muscle cells at a higher rate then other forms. Too new for reports and studies.
