Meh.
I work out on average about 5-6 days a week and supplement with creatine almost daily. Tried it because it was super cheap for a ton of servings. Nothing wrong with it per say? just comes in last for me as far as impact is concerned vs all other creatine brands and formulations I have tried.

Kre alkaline from True Athletes
I used to love this product but I think the last batch I just bought is probably some wrong powder inside. Doesn't taste like the other one and doesn't do the effect it is supposed to do.
So disappointed!

Fantastic!
Helped me gain 20 pounds of muscle in 4 months. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking to gain muscle. The only downside I had with it was it tastes very bad since it is not flavored but mixing it with some juice or a preworkout you are already taking completely hides the bad taste. Hope this review helps

Love this!
First day using this product and I felt amazing! I took one scoop when I woke up and one scoop 30 mins before my workout. I have never tried a creatine supplement before this, so I opted for this product per recommendation of a sales associate. Very pleased, you must try!

This Stuff Works
I have switched almost entirely to the True Athlete brand as they manufacture "clean" products without all the fillers, proprietary blends, etc. After using this product for about 4-5 weeks, I have had success with this product and have gone up with weight on all my lifts, as well as added about 8-10 pounds of muscle mass. This is all accompanied by a healthy diet with high protein intake. While it is popular to take Kre-Alkalyn and other creatine products with a preworkout, I would caution you to read the label of your preworkout to see if it already contains Creatine Monohydrate. If so, I would find one that contains less than 3 grams of it (ideally none), then supplement with Kre-Alkalyn. Lastly, the value of this product is unmatched. I can also speak proudly of True Athlete's preworkout formula, which works excellent! Hope you all get the same positive results from this product that I did.

Why did you choose this?

amazingly effective

easy on stomach.

Because it is nsf certified

Good reviews

How do you mix each serving? Do you use 8oz of water or other?

Best Answer:  You at supposed to take Kre-Alkalyn on a daily basis. So what I do is on my workout days I mix three scoops with my pre workout and on my off day, I mix it with one of my protein shakes. With the pre workout I use water but the protein can go either way.

should i take this before my workout and if so, how ?

Best Answer:  I cannot tell or advise you how to take any supplement. However, I use it two ways 1) During moderate training periods of going to the gym 3 times a week just for resistance training I will take a dose 30 min before workouts and with my recovery supplement. Intense training periods I take daily doses, one upon waking and one before workouts. Again this is not my recommendation for you, only the way I use this product. Before taking any supplement you should seek the advice or counsel of a Doctor or Registered Dietician.

Is there a difference between taking the pill or the powder?

Best Answer:  Hello-
I am a professional powerlifter and have taken probably every version or type of creatine since I began taking it in 1993- before it was even well-known in the United States.

Answer: definitely powder!.. It's really all about the amount: for creatine to be effective, you need 5-10 g / day minimum to get noticeable gains from it; I take 20-30 g / day with no ill-effect on blood lab results and about 15 years of nearly constant use- it's very safe if you otherwise healthy.
Just look at the dose that one pill delivers, probably less than a gram, and for certain, waaaayyyy more expensive and no more effective than powder (your gut melts the capsule in about 1 sec so you're basically taking the powder anyways. Creatine has no taste so it's not really hard to throw the powder in nearly any flavored drink (I put 20 g in my after-workout shake and I'm set for the day).
Only other caveat would be if you have stomach issues with creatine monohydrate, you may have to consider other types, be strong!

Can I mix this with my protein drink ?

Best Answer:  Yes you can, I do it all the time there is no flavor, so u don't even taste it

Is this vegan friendly?

Best Answer:  This supplement is not listed as vegan.

does this affect kidneys? Creatine mono causes kidney stones for me even after drinking a lot of water

Best Answer:  You may want to consider discussing this product with your healthcare practitioner before consuming.

Does this give you the weight gain like the regular creatine?
