    When I took Supplement Directs Kre-Alkalyn I preloaded by taking 5 servings a day with a serving equaling 1.5g (2 pills).
    After that on training days I took 1.5g 30 min. before and 1.5 g immediately after. I also only took 1.5g on non-workout days. Be sure to drink plenty of water. I hope this helps.

    It's a phase that allows the creatine to become over saturated in your muscles. I did this for 5 days. This technique, like most preloading, allows you to see results quicker. Is this your first time using creatine?

    While a lot of people talk about pre loading, Ive personally have read many acticles that say its unnecessary. The testing I read about showed the same results without pre loading compared to individuals who preloaded. Your creatine will go a little further as well. Just my two cents, and each to their own.

    If you decide not to preload ( I guess you shouldn't because you don't want to waste pills) then just take a serving 30-45 min. before you workout and immediately after.

    I was under the impression that Kre-Alkalyn was different because the pH (12) allowed it to be absorbed longer.

    I'd probably just search around and see what kind of info you can find on it.
