A fantastic recovery product with no unpleasant side effects!
This means that you can have all the performance benefits with none of the nasty negatives!

The Science

Creatine has a basic flaw – it is unstable when it is exposed to liquids. All companies point to the purity of their product using various testing methods like HPLC (high performance liquid chromatograph), while their product is still in its dry powder form! The research behind Kre-Alkalyn®’s patent clearly shows that not only does creatine break-down rapidly in liquids, the speed it converts increases rapidly depending on the pH of the liquid it is exposed to – the more acidic the faster it converts. So it is only natural that regular creatine degrades while passing through the stomach, which has a very acidic environment. The researchers also discovered that the more alkalized the environment, the SLOWER it converts and above pH12 it stops converting!

The successful US patent #6,399,661* was awarded for Kre-Alkalyn® and covers all pH’s from 7-14. Kre-Alkalyn® is synthesized as a strong alkaline, which means it has a buffering capacity to effectively resist the stomach's strong acidic environment so it passes 100% intact into the bloodstream and ultimately also as full strength creatine into muscle tissue. While the researchers sought to solve one problem, they in-turn created a supplement like we have never seen before in the history of sports nutrition!

The Economics

Kre-Alkalyn® is a lot more expensive to make but because you are not getting huge losses through conversion to creatinine, there is no need for the average user to take anywhere near as much! Most users take just 2-4 (750mg) capsules a day – that's just 1.5 – 3g a day.

In addition to this because you are now able to take a concentrated amount of pure creatine in one go there is no need to load, as was the previous practice with regular creatine.

The Strength

Because of the way the Creatine is stabilised during manufacturing, by alkalizing it, it means that we have effectively also developed a very clever way of directly neutralizing lactic acid in the muscle cell as it starts to build up. We believe this is occurring with both the free and the bonded forms of creatine molecules in the muscle cells. The normal mechanism by which the effect of lactic acid is countered is due to the fact that there is more creatine phosphate (due to loading) to pass its phosphate to ADP thus delaying the onset of glycolysis that produces lactic acid). We have developed a two-stage approach to countering lactic acid build up. The alkalized creatine molecule still combines with the phosphate molecule in exactly the same way in muscle cells but because Kre-Alkalyn's® creatine molecule is still strongly alkalized and continues to be so, it can counter lactic acid build up by trading off its alkaline pH. Eventually the alkalized molecule is affected by the lactic acid build up and they neutralize each other out to arrive back to the cells normal pH. This effect happens over a number of HOURS!

We know from our research that the Kre-Alkalyn® creatine molecule can withstand much more than 10 minutes in an environment that is highly acidic like the stomach and retain its full pH as well as not converting to creatinine. We also know that Kre-Alkalyn® will over time be affected by an acidic environment, such as lactic acid build up or for that matter an acidic drink base, but the two end up just neutralizing each other out. Hence, it can greatly extend endurance as well as yield great strength and performance increases. Because of the dual action of increasing creatine levels as well as being able to neutralize lactic acid all at the same time, we are seeing strength increases FAR GREATER than ever seen from conventional creatine! This is one of Kre-Alkalyn's® big benefits. It was designed to solve a major problem but in fixing the flaw, the genius of Jeff Golini created a stable, 100% safe, and brilliantly effective sports nutrient like never seen before.

The Endurance

We have had a number of endurance cyclist's trial Kre-Alkalyn® for us. We got back rave reviews from all of them! The effect lasts not seconds like conventional creatine BUT HOURS! Up to THREE hours to be exact.

There is no reason preventing ultra-endurance event athletes from taking a further dose of Kre-Alkalyn® each 3 hour period. As we are not attacking lactic acid build up from the conventional approach, we are not limited by the mineral bonded approach doses in the same way. There is only so much potassium phosphate and sodium bicarbonate the body can handle taking without major negative reactions.

Kre-Alkalyn® is great either by itself and the aforementioned can still be used by top athletes, in conjunction with Kre-Alkalyn® if desired as a complement to obtaining the maximum total effect!

The Performance

Much faster recovery means that athletes are able to train again sooner, which leads to faster improvements in performance levels. Athletes take far less time to attain either peak levels from a layoff or are able to train to attain new all time better performance levels much quicker! This is another reason one of the bigger power lifters we have worked with was able to increase his strength by 40% in just 12 weeks – his 3 board bench press went from 200kg to 280kg! Another power lifter who weighs just 86kg could previously bench press 210kg. After using Kre-Alkalyn® at 10 capsules per day taken with 100g of glucose for 14 days his unassisted bench press increased to 250kg! He is now able to bench press just under 3 times his body weight!

Elite athletes, serious trainers and body builders all want to know… just how good does it get? What maximum dose produces the best effect? The answer is 10 capsules taken 80 minutes before a workout. If taken over a 4-week period strength improvements are most noticeable. Furthermore – because of the way that creatine works in the body, if 100g of glucose is taken 20 minutes after the capsules then this provides an insulin spike which acts as an effective transporter to push the pure alkalized creatine direct into the muscle tissue to give a much more dramatic effect yet again! We have seen strength increases as much as 40% over a period of just 12 weeks!

The Recovery

Because Kre-Alkalyn® effectively neutralizes lactic acid build up, it is an excellent supplement to assist MUCH FASTER recovery! Athletes note a greatly improved recovery rate and their muscles do not feel sore. Obviously for ideal recovery Kre-Alkalyn® should be combined with the right carbohydrates and protein to provide the ideal rapid replacement of the body's glycogen stores as well as circumventing the protein robbing effect to repair muscle tissue damage.

Because we are also supplying a very effective lactic acid neutralizer, we are countering the lactic acid build up both in the blood stream as well as in the localized muscle cells trained. We have had a lot of feedback from people who have also chosen to use it AFTER training with their carbohydrates and protein and noted they were MUCH, MUCH less sore in their muscles and felt much better because they recovered faster! Even endurance athletes who do 24-hour events noted much improved recovery rates when they combined Kre-Alkalyn® with their carbohydrates!

No side effects!

Body builders liked regular creatine for its 'instant weight gain' effect for water retention and strength increases but it also made them look puffy and bloated. The good news is that Kre-Alkalyn® does not! You get all the benefits of creatine, better pumps, full muscles and a harder body! This is body builder heaven. You get the body and no nasty side effects!

More creatinine in the body can lead to side effects. While the conversion rate of creatine to creatinine is constant in muscle tissue, it is the rapid conversion of most of the supplemented creatine to creatinine BEFORE it reaches muscle tissue that is the problem. This loads your body with more creatinine, which can be bad. International researchers are now pointing to conventional creatine’s rapid conversion to creatinine as a possible reason for why kidney damage is on the increase worldwide and kidney damage is heading towards becoming the number one health problem.

The good news is that none of these side effects are experienced with Kre-Alkalyn® as we have solved the basic flaw, conversion to creatinine BEFORE reaching muscle. (Once reaching muscles creatine has two fates: to be transformed into creatine phosphate or to degrade spontaneously and nonenzymatically to creatinine at a regular rate, as nature intended).
