I have added a few posts to a thread about Creatine / CEE and it was quite interesting, but there seems to be some gaps in what we know or more to the point, quite a few questions on real specifics.

I mentioned I have some contact with a Professor at Nottingham Uni. and so I mailed him, asked him if he would have the time to answer a list of questions from us and he has agreed. He'll do it by phone, rather than email, just due to time issues, fair play. And it will be towards the end of Oct, as he has some deadlines to hit.

The guy is Paul Greenhaff, Professor of Muscle Metabolism
School of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences, Nottingham University.
He has some 115 published research papers to his name, 25 of them on creatine and is pretty much one of the leading knowledges on the subject worldwide. So I think this is a great chance, don't know what you think??

What I'm suggesting, but open to ideas, is that we draw together a list of questions for me to ask him, and I report back his answers. Given his knowledge, it could open the door to other similar calls on other subjects.

I'm fairly new to UK-Muscle, as you can see from my posts number, so totally unsure if this is going to be of interest, but I'm going to go ahead with it anyway and anyone is welcome to contribute questions in advance.
I also have a list of all of his research papers if anyone wants to see this, drop me a pm if you do.

Any comments, suggestions welcome. Also, should I post this in general, or research pages too? (Mods, maybe answer that??)

Happy Training.

Very unlikely Tom.

1. Time
2. Diverse nature of the board

I wouldn't rule it out suggesting in the future, but lets take it a step at a time. I don't want to frighten him away on some ethical grounds. Some of these subjects discussed on here, while potentially very interesting for academia, are fairly extreme for being comfortable about.

Coop, need slightly more specific questions really.
I can send you the list of research papers if it is interesting for you?

You said on another thread that he has done massive amounts of research on creatine in the past, I would like to know if he has tested newer forms of creatine especially Kre-alkalyn and how it compared to mono with regards to effectivness and if it converts to creatinine. Please

stow

ok, fine.

nice one mate! giving you a rep for your efforts. i would be interested to read the Q&A's when they come out. don't specifically have any q. for him myself though.

ah24

Don't know if this has been mentioned or 'specific' enough.
If this Dr. dude was a BB'er, going by what he knows - what would he prefer to use mono or ethyl esther? What are his reasons?

Harry

Good question from ah24, also we are lead to belive that Creatine needs to be cycled for various reasons, what's the optimum way to cycle creatine ie. on and off periods.

stow

Good questions, keep them coming...

I'd like to know why some people don't repond to creatine in his opinion. Mono and CEE seem to do nothing to me yet kre-alkalyn works a treat. Yet for others only mono works.......... whats going on?

Karl(Reflex)

Does he work for muscletech or just a consultant?

Does he have any future projects relating to studying creatine and/or any other sports supplement compounds?

stow

He's a Professor at a University! Nothing to do with any Supplements company, please read the background.

Paul Greenhaff has done more studies on Creatine than you could imagine. If you look at the references on any decent article on creatinechances are some of the studies where done by him.

Get those questions posted. You wont be dissapointed
