Table 2 Mean (SD) plasma creatine concentration over 8 hours following ingestion of isomolar amounts of creatine (4.4 g) in the form of creatine monohydrate (CrM), tri-creatine citrate (CrC), or creatine pyruvate (CrPyr). Means within each time-row differing significantly are denoted by the letters a to c.
