Creatine methyl ester is the methyl ester derivative of the amino acid creatine. It can be prepared by the esterification of creatine with methanol. [1]

By undergoing an esterification process with methanol, this compound seeks to enhance creatine's absorption rate in the body. Creatine esters, like creatine methyl ester, have been studied for their potential to improve bioavailability when compared to standard creatine monohydrate. [2]
