Any difference between nootropicsdepot creatine and anything else?

Not sure why they sell it cause I can buy creatine anywhere, but thought about picking it up.
What they were answering

I'm curious, I haven't seen any manufacturers claim to go beyond micronized to create an actual 'instant' powder (except for Bulk Supplements which I'd rather avoid), in an industry swimming in excessive marketing claims and obsessed with dissolvability, so this instant powder makes me really curious. Are you simply using a finer filter that other manufacturers don't have? Is it just a finer powder or have you done something chemically to it like a change in pH?
Is it a modified version of Creapure or some other source?

They are two different synthesis methods. Regular creatine monhydrate uses sarcosine and cyanamide as the starting precursors. The creatine monohydrate instant uses hydroxyl acetonitrile, methylamine, and cyanamide. This results in a final composition that is more soluble in water. You can do side by side testing of our regular and instant creatine, and you'll see an immediate difference in solubility.
Creapure is just a trademarked brand name for creatine monohydrate from Alzchem. We do not use AlzChem for our creatine. It's the same thing as micronized creatine monohydrate. There is no chemical difference. It's all marketing and branding.
