At that time, how could I believe such
claims that:
- Taking 1g of Kre Alkalyn creatine is
equivalent of taking 10g of normal creatine, and
- Kre Alkalyn creatine is stable in water
because its PH buffered!
I didn't believe these claims, and didn't
bother to. My initial thoughts were "just some new
marketing scam... etc." I remember some representative
of Kre Alkalyn (not sure if this person was from a licensed
company, or from the direct manufacturer) that came on our
chat boards promoting Kre Alkalyn creatine - boy, did he
get a face full of dirt. =)
Long story short, I was convinced to give
KreAlkalyn Creatine a shot, and after that, I really had
to change my views on this new type of creatine.
What is KreAlkalyn Creatine?
Kre Alkalyn was discovered by Jeff Golini,
who also discovered Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate (AAKG),
a nitric oxide amplifying agent. Jeff introduced a new product
testing technology called NIR (near infrared analysis),
which is now heavily used in the pharmaceutical and supplement
industry. Kre Alkalyn Creatine was discovered while doing
routine purity and stability tests on creatine using NIR.
Kre Alkalyn was eventually awarded US patent #6,399,661.
The research provided to receive this
patent had shown that creatine's speed of conversion to
creatinine is related to the pH of the liquid used for mixing
- I'm sure most of us know that creatine breaks down to
creatinine when mixed in liquid, which is a useless compound.
The research demonstrated that the lower the pH, the faster
creatine converts to creatinine, and it also found that
conversion rate to creatinine slows as the pH of the creatine
itself is raised above 7. At a pH of 12, creatine stops
converting to creatinine.
So essentially, Kre Alkalyn Creatine is
a pH buffered creatine with a pH above 12. As a result,
it remains stable when mixed with liquid. What significance
does this have for bodybuilding? With a buffered pH, the
Kre Alkalyn creatine we consume remains completely stable
and reaches muscle cells at full strength.
Kre Alkalyn Creatine Side Effects &
Benefits
With the above said, there are some key
benefits of Kre Alkalyn Creatine. With a pH buffered creatine:
- You only need to take very small amounts
- 1 to 3 grams per day is plenty
- You will notice the same types of results
as normal creatine (if not better).
- Some individuals tend to get bloated
with creatine monohydrate, but with Kre Alkalyn, there's
no bloating. While I can't vouch for this since I don't
bloat with regular creatine, but I've had many users tell
me that they don't bloat with Kre Alkalyn creatine.
- Some individuals also tend to get upset
stomach with regular creatine, but with Kre Alkalyn creatine,
that shouldn't be a problem anymore.
My Experience with SciFit Kre Alkalyn
1500
Like I said above, I was skeptical about
KreAlkalyn at start, but was convinced to give it a shot
by my contact at Sci-Fit. He told me it was a very new product
at SciFit, that it works, that I only need to take very
small amounts, and yadiyadiyada... So, I ordered 2 bottles
of Sci-Fit Kre Alkalyn 1500.
Each bottle of Kre Alkalyn 1500 has 120
caps, and the bottle instructions suggested 1 to 2 caps
twice daily. So setup my schedule to take 2 caps 30mins
before workout, and 2 caps after workout. This works out
such that each bottle lasts me a month. After just the first
3 to 4 days, I start noticing the effects - just like any
other creatine! Except the fact that I'm only taking 2 caps
each serving, or only 1.5grams per serving.
So in short, Kre Alkalyn works, and works
great - all its claims are true as well. I was quite surprised
myself how well it worked. As well, Kre Alkalyn creatine's
benefits such as no bloating and no upset stomachs is a
major plus for individuals who tend to get bloated and/or
get upset stomachs with regular creatine.
Considering the fact that you only need
to take small amounts of Kre Alkalyn per serving (1 to 2
grams), this is the only creatine product that I would ever
buy in pill form. I can't imaging downing 5 to 8 pills of
regular creatine pills each serving! Taking only 1 to 2
pills of kre alkalyn is very manageable - the pills are
quite small. Another plus of Kre Alkalyn is that it isn't
expensive at all. SciFit's Kre Alkalyn 1500 (120 cap bottle)
goes for around $30 at retail, but you can get it online
for only $25.
