Ashop · Oct 17, 2009

Final opinions on those you have gave this product a generous try.
It looks and sounds good on paper,,,it real world results I've yet heard to convince me.

I added Sci-Fit Kre-Alkalyn powder to my supplements approximately 5 weeks ago. I've only been 2 grams per day and can't say for sure that I feel much of anything different. I'm going to try upping the dose and see what happens, but so far not much, maybe a little better pump but that's about it.

I was using the same thing for roughly 8 weeks a while back. The cherry flavored powder tastes good. I used roughly 2-3g 30 minutes pre-work out and 2-3grams post workout. I didn't get any bloat. The pumps were noticeable, but nothing crazy. Endurance increases alot and strength either went up slightly like 5lbs-10lbs on some exercises or not at all. Keep in mind this is when I was cutting. Overall, I might try it again if I can get it cheap like before.

I like it

I am a big fan of this type of creatine when I am in need of an endurance bump (mountain biking, snowboarding, hockey etc). I found it to help with lactic acid build up. I also use it in combination with my buzz saw when I am bulking for a little extra bump.

I have used kre-alkylyn many years ago. It bloats a bit less than regular creatine mono. That's about the only difference I noticed.

If you mean by "looks good on paper" as in "marketing guys really make this sound great", than hell yah ...

Time and time again ... another supplement fails to do anything. Creatine mono is a mainstay. I think there is some neat nitrate things people are doing with creatine now (i.e. C-Bol from ThermoLife), but other than that ... stick with the one that has a billion research papers on it saying it increases alactic capacity.

You can find the patent for Kre-Alkalyn online. It is regular creatine monohydrate and an antacid. The only reason it gives people "less bloat" is because it's only 1g of creatine per serving, instead of the mega-dosages of 10g+ people are using (or 5g 5x/day for "loading").

Smaller dosages 1-2g 2-3x throughout the day of regular CM will also improve uptake and give less sides. And will be a LOT cheaper.

Study showed it converts to creatinine faster than monohydrate, exactly the opposite of what's claimed.

It's 99% monohydrate according to the manufacturer, 99% mono and the 1% is some type of antacid. Less bloat is exactly because of what Blade said.

You want Kre-Alkalyn? Do a teaspoon of baking soda with your mono.

Started taking it on a recommendation...1 tbls in the a.m. per the instruction. Began 2 wks ago...better pumps, however, nothing really to report right now I"ll keep taking it until the product is exhausted. I believe i have 2 months worth of the KA.

I noticed the best results from the liquid all american EFX...From my personal experience, I think its superior to capsule form.

KA

I switched over to powder from the pills to see the difference. I have SCI FIT's version. I can tell it gets into my system faster. Doesn't bloat me up but it sure does act like a hydraulic pump for me.

I put about a half of teaspoon of the powder in 4 oz of water. It doesn't dissolve much in the water. Some of it does. I have to keep mixing it up to get it down and there is still some residue in the cup.

AAEFX are the originaters of it. I got sci fit only because they were the cheapest at 100g for powder to see how it was vs pills. Pills are a bit more expensive.

Alin, In between cycles take 1 pill before and after your workouts, For a better pump, also take Arginine AKG, 3 grams, twice a day on an empty stomach. It will keep you strong when off and it definitley works.

the dosing of 1pill pre and post workout is for like a 150 lbs man. i do 4-5g a day and see great results. But we have to remember its only creatine...what are you really expecting? I talk to guys, and some on this thread have already mentioned, that say they only get a couple more reps and endurance gains from it....well, duh. What else were you expecting?

whiteknucks · Oct 18, 2009

regular monohydrate is much more effective for me.

DUH! I expect not to take drugs all year and be healthy all my life. Where did I say it made mega gains?

So a couple more reps and endurance gains, I say it is worth it.

i never meant to insinuate that you were saying you got MEGA GAINS. If i did i would have said "pesty, your not gonna get MEGA GAINS!"...not made a vague referance to other posts.
