Does Kre Alkalyn really work for everyone ?

[fitjosh]

finnished a bottle of kre alkalyn lasted about 6 weeks, Now my problem is i saw NO GAINS AT ALL,, do you think i shoud change to a different creatine ?

[HammerTech]

Appparently your body didn't respond to it, so yeah you may want to try monohydrate.

I'm using Kre-alk right now and getting some response...granted I'm only a little more than a week into my cycle of it but I am noticing some difference already.

[fitjosh]

why mono,, is it really better then cee ?

[HammerTech]

Mono is kinda the "tried and true" that has been used for what seems like forever and generally gives results to anyone. Never tried CEE nor do I know much about it.

[bigk-78]

CEE is crap, you dont get the full benefit of creatine. def. use Kre alk, if not then go with mono. id say maybe give kre alk another round to work, thats how it was for me. first cycle i didnt notice anything but energy, but next time round im gaining some size and shape

[Traps]

Why do you say CEE is crap bigk?

[bigk-78]

well for me it is anyway, people are different though.

i know for me, i didnt notice size or strength gains beyond my normal occurance, and i didnt even feel a difference in energy.

iv also seen plenty of posts on places saying stuff about the ethyl ester doesnt allow for full absorbtion or something like that? so basically not getting full benefit of creatine. idk, just my experience of using it twice didnt do much for me, as compared to kre alk and mono.

[Traps]

I had no success with cee as well.

id say thatd be a good idea, but thats just me. or if you have never tried creatine mono, then go for that if you want. mono does cause water bloating thogh, but some people like that as it makes them look bigger-more muscular. if another round of krealk or mono doesnt work for you at all, you might be a non responder to creatine. but go ahead and give one of those options a try. make sure youre drinking tons of water when you use it too, and the diet is in check as far as getting enough protein a day.

[fitjosh]

any one tried Kre-alkalyn together with No xplode

[bigk-78]

yes. not bad. def. got alotta energy. go for it. just dont take no xplode on your non workout lifting days

Did you work out while you were on this kre alkalyn?

[Traps]

No gains at all in 6 weeks? Not even 5 or 10 lbs in any exercise? I'd be less concerned about the kre-alk, and more concerned about why I didnt make any gains.

[joemomma]

Yes, it works. However, I also respond well to regular c-mono.

And, like Traps said - no gains in anything? Something is up there. Post up you routine, diet, all that. Something is amiss....

Sorry to have another creatine question, but searching didn't come up with an answer. I have had great results with monohydrate using either grape juice or a dextrose coolaid brew. I want to drop some fat now and trying to cut out the sugars, does kre alkalyne work without the insulin spike needed to get creatine into the cells? It sounds like a great product especially if it is effective without the sugar consumption.

Thanks

Show me the studys that say Kre-Alkalyn works and if it does its any better than mono. Same goes fore CEE. All the studies done are on Mono not KA or CEE or di mono etc. That is what I don't get. People want to use something for the sake that its new.

Who brough this thread back to life?

Anyway - them 'newer' forms of creatine aren't really much new now. CEE has been out for way over a year+. Kre-alk came out very soon after CEE was introduced. There are studies out there from reputable sources (least I would consider them reputable) that prove it to be good and working well for people.

Now am I saying it's better than monohydrate? No and yes, the only reason i'd say yes is it indeed cuts out ALL the bloat/gas and liquid poop possibilites you may/may not get from monohydrate. I did get the craps here and there while on monohydrate but honestly I can't say one is better than the other (cee, kre-alk, mono) in a 'performance' category. If you respond to monohydrate with gas and them, then using CEE will likely cure that problem. Truthfully that's the only advantage IMO.
