Kre-Alkalyn?

[Rodthebod]

Anyone ever try this? Any good?

Stick with mono

Tried it... did nothing for me.

Good old bulk mono powder works well for me.

i just picked up some of this about 4 days ago. capsule version, by sci- fit. i had a $50 dollar gift card that was about to expire so i got talked into buying it by the sales person... haven't felt much at 6 capsules a day, though it's only been 4 days and my diet has been a bit off due to a pretty bad cold. after i finish the bott. off, it's back to monohydrate for me..

kre-alkalyn is mono mixed with sodium carbonate.

I remember hearing about a study, showing kre-alkalyn to be less stable than the ads say, but I'm not able to find it at the moment.

As the others have mentioned, stick with monohydrate.

Thanks I figured as much being that all these creatines that come out never have any real testing to prove effectiveness anyway. Guess mono is still the way to go.

The patent has data on it (you kinda need data to get a patent on something like this), but it's all in-vitro. The marketting is based on the hydrolyzation of creatine monohydrate, so the kre-alkalyn guy adjusted the pH so it doesn't hydrolyze. Truthfully, and based on the data the kre-alkalyn people presented, if you take your good ol' mono immediately upon mixing, and on an empty stomach, it should be sufficient.

What kills me is that they claim it is 10x better than regular creatine, and so the recommended serving is 500mg - 750mg of creatine (as monohydrate). This means you pay an arm and a leg for a month's supply of kre-alkalyn, and it's 15 grams of creatine monohydrate.
