Kre-alkalyn creatine.... ?

[jasc]

Anyone ever used this or know much about it?
I've been taking it for almost a yr n question if it does anything.
On the positive side I get no side effects like I used to on creatine mono back in the day, but on the other hand, I don't get the pumps, extra energy, or water retention either.
Kre-alkalyn is more ph stable and its said to be more effective than other kinds so you take considerably less n do not have to load. The bottle says 1g per day, which I've bumped to 3g n still see no difference. I consume more water than needed and have a solid diet. In the past yr I have stopped for weeks at a time to test it n still see/feel no difference.
Anyone else have experience with this? thoughts?
Its All-American EFX brand

The reason you get less adverse effects is because u get less creatine in a couple of ways. First its dosed lower , second a study showed when this product was exposed to stomach acid it degraded to creatinine much more rapidly than monohydrate- you lose a tremendous % of creatine that way as well. Bottom line - less creatine=less sides=less benefit. This product is all hype and BS and is actually garbage imo.

Id suggest creatine monhydrate (micronized if u like- whatever). I think supp companies have people taking way too much creatine for obvious reasons. I saw a study that showed a 200lb resistance trained athele taking 5mg/day for 30 days and 3mg/day every day therafter maintained peak lebvels of cratine with minimal conversion to creatinine. I belive if you take that dose and follow that protocol you will get all the benfit with none of the reported adverse effects.

Great stuff as always Jimmy!

I get best results with just regular micronized creatine monhydrate.

thx for the replies guys.. back to the ol monohydrate soon

I've been using this stuff per suggestion of a friend and don't seem to notice much, but then again, you're not suppose to "notice" creatine so much. I might use up the bottle and switch back to mono either way though.
