Magnesium Creatine Chelate - There is some research that shows
creatine magnesium chelate enhances uptake of creatine into muscle cells as well as intracellular water (18).
It also is a citrate BUT it states this in it's description: «Dr. Formulated Whole Food Magnesium features organic brown rice
protein magnesium chelate, as well as, live probiotics — 1 billion CFU — to support healthy digestion and regularity.»
One question I have though... I am taking a supplement that
says Magnesium Chelate Pure Magnesium which was recommended by someone else who l follow who lives the Keto lifestyle also.
Creatine
magnesium chelate could help with performance without the water weight.
There isn't much research on it yet, but one study found that creatine
magnesium chelate is no more effective than creatine monohydrate.
Creapure Brand Creatine Monohydrate, Crea ‐ Trona (Buffered Creatine), Creatine MagnaPower (Creatine
Magnesium Chelate), Creatine Alpha - Ketoglutarate 2:1, Creatine Anhydrous, Cinnulin PF (Cinnamomum burmannii Bark Extract), Containing Type ‐ A Polymers, AstraGin (Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceus (Root) Extracts), Gelatin, Magnesium Stearate, Chlorophyll, Titanium Dioxide.
While creatines like creatine nitrate may ease gastric distress for the few that have this issue, and
magnesium chelate can enhance intracellular water, at this time there is no reason why you should use anything other than good old creatine monohydrate.
