Claims (17)

1. A supplement to increase muscle mass and muscle performance consisting of creatine hydrochloride salt formed from the reaction product of:

about 0.8 to about 1.2 mole equivalent creatine monohydrate; and

about 1.1 to about 1.4 mole equivalents acetyl chloride,

dissolved in about 6 to about 10 milliliters alcohol solution per gram of creatine hydrochloride salt at a temperature of about 25° C. to about 35° C.,

wherein the supplement has an aqueous solubility of at least 150 mg/ml.

2. The supplement of claim 1 , wherein the reaction product is formed from:

about 1 mole equivalent creatine monohydrate; and

about 1.4 mole equivalents acetyl chloride dissolved in about 10 milliliters ethanol solution.

3. The supplement of claim 2 , wherein the supplement is precipitated as granules and then packaged into an oral dosage form.

4. The supplement of claim 1 , wherein the supplement has an aqueous solubility of at least an order of magnitude higher than the aqueous solubility of creatine monohydrate.

5. The supplement of claim 1 , wherein the yield of creatine hydrochloride salt is approximately 94 percent.

6. A supplement for to increase muscle mass and muscle performance consisting of creatine hydrochloride salt formed from the reaction product of:

about 1 mole equivalent creatine monohydrate:

about 1.4 mole equivalents acetyl chloride;

said creatine monohydrate and said acetyl chloride dissolving in about 10 milliliters ethanol solution at a temperature of about 25° C. forming a solution of creatine hydrochloride having an aqueous solubility of at least 150 mg/ml; and

thus precipitating granules of creatine hydrochloride salt from the solution for oral dosage as one pill, capsule, tablet, or liquid.

7. The supplement of claim 6 , wherein the yield of creatine hydrochloride salt is approximately 94 percent.
