The reason Creatine became so popular is that it works! After taking it for two weeks you
could see and feel a difference. It has recently been discovered that Creatine Monohy-drate
has a basic inherent flaw, which means it is not nearly as good as it could be. The
good news is that Creatine Monohydrate's basic flaw has been overcome and the new
version is not only more effective, but can also work out cheaper to use. Many people
are reporting good improvements in strength (by taking 1.5 grams half an hour before
work-outs - no loading necessary) after taking it for only 1-2 days! In essence it will
mean everyone will cease selling the old version and only supply the new version - it is
just a matter of time.
Conversion problem
If I understand this correctly the new data says that most of the creatine monohydrate
I have been taking converts to the toxin creatinine (note the extra 'in') within minutes
when added to any liquid be it juice or water etc. So I am in effect taking a lot of
creatinine (a toxin) and very little of actual creatine monohydrate.
How is this so? I have been using creatine for years and got a good effect from it.
Please explain.
The best way to explain it is, your body makes around 2 grams per day.
When you supplement 5000mg of creatine you probably only get the benefit of
2-400mg of additional actual creatine (and 4600mg of the toxin creatinine).
The additional 2-400 mgs on top of your 2 grams your body naturally produces,
would give a 10-20% increase in the pool of creatine available.
That is why good results were still being experienced.
You just have to start looking at it differently. Most of the creatine is lost when added to
liquid, and more is converted when passing through your acidic stomach.
Note: some companies were pointing to the virtual lack of creatinine in their powder,
as proof of purity of their powder over other sources. In most cases this was true but
only while it was still in its powder form.
This new form of Creatine Monohydrate - Kre-AlkalynTM says it never converts to the
toxin Creatinine. How does that work?
The researchers behind Kre-AlkalynTM discovered that while Creatine
Monohydrate
is nice and stable and pure in its powder form, as soon as you add it to a liquid, it is
no longer stable and rapidly converts to the by-product toxin creatinine.
What they discovered was, the speed of conversion was directly proportional
to the pH of the liquid it was being added to. Merely having it added to a strong
alkaline drink did not solve the problem due to the digestion issue, of it having to pass
through the highly acidic stomach. They discovered if they buffered it with an alkaline
greater than pH12 then it remained completely stable in any liquid for long periods
of time (now opening the way to completely stable Kre-Alkalyn drinks and serums).
It also ensured the new buffered creatine would pass intact through the stomach and
at full strength into the blood stream.
So what does this all mean?
Simply a better, more effective form of creatine. Youneed to only use a fraction of
what you used to, no loading and you get a better effect.
What's more with none of the side effects from taking conventional creatine,
nor the long-term risks of continued use over a period of years.
The new Kre-Alkalyn is superior - full stop! As good as our conventional Creatine
Monohydrate was, this new one is a big leap forward again. Its like comparing
steam powered trains to diesel/electric. Steam, as a form of generating power,
still works but it is inefficient and more expensive to use.
How is 100 grams of Kre-AlkalynTM better value than 1kg of Creatine Monohydrate?
If you were using 10 grams per day previously, you only need to use 1 gram to get the
same effect from Kre-AlkalynTM. What's more, previously you really wouldn't want to take
more than 20 grams of Creatine because of diarrhoea problems (some people as low as
5 grams) where as you can easily take 1.5 - 3 grams of Kre-AlkalynTM per day without any
problems and a more pronounced effect. On a daily use basis Kre-AlkalynTM works out
CHEAPER to use. If using conventional Creatine at 10 grams per day 1kg would last you
100 days (less the amount needed for loading) whereas for a better effect you only need
1g of Kre-AlkalynTM so 100 grams will last 100 days, and NO LOADING NECESSARY.
Kre-AlkalynTM currently retails for $79.95 whereas Creatine Monohydrate usually retails
around $90-110 for 1kg.
We are however now recommending a (daily) dose of 1.5 grams, prior to work-outs, as
we get extremely good feedback at that dosage level.
Why has NFS Nutraceuticals stopped supplying its original Creatine Monohydrate?
NFS is about providing only the best ingredients and products available on the market.
The new Kre-AlkalynTM is superior - full stop! As good as our conventional Creatine Mono-hydrate
was; this new one is a big leap forward again. Its like comparing steam powered
trains to diesel/electric. Steam, as a form of generating power, still work but it is ineffi-cient
and more expensive to use.
Why aren't other brands marketing it yet?
Kre-Alkalyn is brand new. Innovative and progressive supplement companies
will recognise this products full potential and will be quick to bring it to the market.
Other companies are slow adopters and typically are two to three years behind
research breakthoughs. Competitive athletes will want to use the best nutrition
technology available. This is an opportunity to set your company apart from other
dinosaur supplement companies. Remember your credibility is on the line if you don't
put it in your product range. It is such a big leap in effectiveness.
Other common questions - Kre-AlkalynTM
It is Buffered Creatine Monohydrate - what is it buffered with?
We call it buffered Creatine; The buffering takes place in the
synthesis process, allowing us to retain a safe, high pH.
What percentage is the buffering agent and what percentage is the
actual creatine?
Kre-AlkalynTM is 99.9% to 100.00% pure.
A strong alkaline will burn human tissue in the same way as a strong
acid will it not?
This is food grade technology - same analogy as a 3.0 pH acid will burn
the skin, yet you can drink a soda pop (pH 3) that has used phosphoric or
citric acid)
Once it hits the stomach will it no longer be stable because of the strong
acids present?
Kre-AlkalynTM is also designed to buffer the stomach,
raising the pH long enough for absorption.
Apart from strength increases, are there any other reported benefits?
Yes. Most people report dropping body fat levels and increases in lean muscle -
both men and women (used in conjunction with training). Not only will you look better,
if you play sport you’ll have a much better power to weight ratio.
