I plan to start taking Kre-Alkalyn powder but I've no clue what to mix it with, what are the proportions (I mean should I mix these 2 grams with 50 ml of some carbohydrated liquid or with 500ml?!) & if I must take it in the morning should I take it before breakfast or after, & what's the optimal timing between creatine intake & the nearest meal?
Please help me - I'm simply afraid to spoil its effects!

im 17 y/o and ive been taking kre-alkalyn for about a month and half and it works great so far, ive gained about 30lbs on my bench in just that time, probly cuz im young and have more testosterone, but i think its helped a lot,,...
but i do worry if kre-alkalyn does have any side effects in the future

I'm 17 and the first time i took the capsules i felt stronger and could do more reps for my forearms and traps so it really worked for me(on the first time too lol) on my second day of taking Kre-alkalyn i did my bench it kinda felt lighter (b4 i used kre-alkalyn dam that **** was heavy..) and then i added 20 pounds to it on my second day and did 6 reps so i know it really works and Also my biceps got twice as huge after a week of taking it..so if u wana buy it buy it cuz it really works. My bench went from 6 reps of 140 to 6 reps of 160 in 4 days cant wait to see how much i can bench next week this Creatine product really works.

Know the facts-trust what you read, but beware of where it comes from. If you really want to know the facts about Kre Alkalyn, pull the patent number on this product. Once you do that, you don't have to be a chemist to figure out that it is not 100% CREATINE, that Kre is layered and disguised with other items, how about sugar and flavorings- not so on the ingredient side of the retail box, and it doesn't do what they claim it does, why becuase it can't. It is mono in a box, that is about as 100% of the lies that is accurate-the rest is best said BUYER BEWARE!

Kre-alkalyn supplementation has no beneficial effect on creatine-to-creatinine conversion rates.

All American Pharmaceutical and Natural Foods Corp. (Billings, MT, USA) claim that Kre-alkalyn? (KA) a ?Buffered? creatine, is 100% stable in stomach acid and does not convert to creatinine. In contrast, they also claim that creatine monohydrate (CM) is highly pH labile with more than 90% of the creatine converting to the degradation product creatinine in stomach acids. To date, no independent or university laboratory has evaluated the stability of KA in stomach acids, assessed its possible conversion to creatinine, or made direct comparisons of acid stability with CM.

This study examined whether KA supplementation reduced the rate of creatine conversion to creatinine, relative to commercially available CM (Creapure?). Creatine products were analyzed by an independent commercial laboratory using testing guidelines recommended by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). Each product was incubated in 900ml of pH 1 HCL at 37? 1oC and samples where drawn at 5, 30 and 120 minutes and immediately analyzed by HPLC (UV) for creatine and creatinine.

In contrast to the claims of All American Pharmaceutical and Natural Foods Corp., the rate of creatinine formation from CM was found to be less than 1% of the initial dose, demonstrating that CM is extremely stable under acidic conditions that replicate those of the stomach. This study also showed that KA supplementation actually resulted in 35% greater conversion of creatine to creatinine than CM. In conclusion the conversion of creatine to creatinine is not a limitation in the delivery of creatine from CM and KA is less stable than CM in the acid conditions of the stomach.

I haven't been able to find any products that claim to be 100% creatine, they list Kre-Alkalyn as the main ingrediant and usally add whatever they use to make the capules with.

I had a look at the patent
http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/6399661-fulltext.html
and checked most of the ingrediants, using Wikipedia as a reference. Seems to be above board....
