- Creatine Monohydride is creatine bonded with a molecule of water.

Creatine ethyl ester (CEE) is creatine monohydrate with an ester attached.
Creatine is manufactured in the body from the amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine.
Creatine is thought to be an influence in muscle repair and increase, and should be taken post-workout. It no significant effect on aerobic exercise. I'm not entirely sure about the specifics of this substance. It sounds to me like it ought to be good before a workout, but apparently that's not true?
If it helps with muscle repair, then it helps with soreness. =)

Notes ∞
-
Phosphocreatine - (aka creatine phosphate or PCr)
- A phosphorylated creatine molecule that is an important energy store in skeletal muscle. It is used to generate ATP from ADP, forming creatine for the 2 to 7 seconds following an intense effort.
- This sounds better than creatine, but I don't see any references to being able to get it as a supplement.
-
Creatine kinase - (aka phosphocreatine kinase, creatine phosphokinase, or CK)
- An enzyme[doesn't exist] expressed by various tissue types. Its function is the catalysis of the conversion of Creatine to phosphocreatine, consuming adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and generating adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and the reverse reaction.
