 Ah, Sci-Fit's Kre Alkalyn. I had some fun with this creatine.
Ok, so we have all had problems with plain ol Creatine Monohydrate. The bloating, the taste, the loading phases, the water retention, ect. I went down that road a couple years ago, and i can't say i miss it after trying out Kre Alkalyn. When i first came here last year, the word was just starting to stir up about this product. Sure enough, i went with the advice from my good friends here at TSR and gave this a whirl.
For those of you who don't know, Creatine Monohydrate is not stable, meaning it will break down very easily into creatinine (A chemical waste molecule) and put the kidneys to work, causing strain on them. This also decreases the effect on gains. The MVP of this product is the pH buffering system. Sci-Fit made this 100% stable so you can take it with anything and everything and absorb the full amount of creatine, without the strain on the kidneys, water weight, and loss of gains.
I have ran two full 3 month cycles of this now and the results were damn good. I first tried it on my cut last summer, to help maintain muscle mass and strength. It didn't fail here at all. I kept my LBM (lean body mass) and strength even went up slightly. Little to no bloat/water retention; from what i could monitor, it was about 2-3 pounds of water. But when I started bulking and hittin the weights really heavy again this fall, that is where Kre Alk really showed it's true colors. I was having a 10 lb increase on all my major lifts a week, after the first 2 weeks of the second cycle. So by a month and 2 weeks time, i was up 40 lbs on my Squat, deadlift, and bench. After that, the gains still came steady, just in smaller increments. I managed to get an extra 25 lbs on my bent over barbell row as well while taking this.
As far as dosing, i took 2 upon waking (30 minutes before breakfast) and 2 post workout with my shake. On off days- 2 upon waking (30 minutes before breakfast) and 2 before bed with my casein shake. However, when a morning workout was called for, i would split up the second dose by taking 1 pill post workout and 1 before bed. This just seemed to sit better with me for whatever reason. I just liked to have another dose later in the day as opposed to 2 close-spaced doses and then no more until the next morning.
The value was great. I paid roughly 50 dollars to run a 3 month cycle. Of course i got the BOGO deal at BB.com with the free Gluta-lyn which i recently wrote a review for. Another cool thing about this product is that it comes in several different sizes. 60, 120, 130 bonus, 240, 250 bonus, and the big 500 count. Dunno why anyone would run a creatine cycle for 15 days, but i suppose it's for someone taking other forms of creatine throughout the day and looking for a smaller dose. It also comes in a powder form which i may try out myself, soon. Sci-Fit claims it does not require cycling and they also claim it can be taken with food. I don't know how the rest of the world looks at this, but i know alot of people here and myself included feel that it is always safer to cycle 3 months on, 1 month off. Most of us don't take it with food either, just to 100% ensure proper absorption. I also highly recommend you drink at least a gallon of water a day when taking this or else you will cramp up. Water intake is very essential when taking any form of creatine.
I saw great strength gains and moderate size gains with Kre-Alkalyn. Not to mention, the recovery with this was superb. My upper back is definitely looking fuller and thicker and my quads have gone up significantly as well, since taking this creatine. This may not work for some, but it is obvious that it worked for me and has a very high success rate with others. I think it's a product everyone should try at least once. It's highly absorbable, well priced, and it works.
Give this a try if you haven't already!

| Creatine is always best post workout in my opinion. I have tried it pre and felt that I didn't recover better and don't necessarily need it when i take a pre workout supplement with creatine in it.
Thanks bro. |

 I've read plenty of articles on the benefits of creatine. When I first tried it, I used AMP Creatine 189 (review coming). First of all, side effects were awful, and had so much water retention without any strength gains. Because of that, I got a bad first impression of creatine. Few months later I tried Cell Mass by BSN (review coming). I noticed more positive results with this. The most influential factor that forced me to try Kre Alkalyn 1500 was I heard so many others claim they had no water retention and actually helped them get more cut, while adding strength. The water retention was a big thing for me. I got it for an extremely good price. 2 bottles for less than the cell mass. It is simple to take and I noticed the extra endurance right away. I had been stuck using the same weight and trying as hard as I could to go 5lb up to get stronger, but just wasn't there. After 2 weeks using this, I was able to get 2 more reps out of the weights, and in the following week I dropped those extra reps and was able to go up that 5lbs, and have gotten stronger since. I've had no noticeable water retention and I still feel like I'm cut. Only side effect I noticed was one day when I took a total of 4 pills a day I hadn't drank enough water, shame on me. It gave me really bad stomach discomfort for a few days. After that I switched to just 2 a day & have kept my water up, and no problems. Definitely recommend!

 Just finished a 120ct bottle of this product. I took 2 caps in the morning on an empty stomach each day and 1-2 caps post-workout. Saw great improvement in failure rep exercises such as pullups, pushups and shoulder pike presses. In addition, I saw nice gains in all remaining resistance workouts.
An example is my pullup max reps went up 2 reps for each move (wide, standard, switch grip, close grip, corn cob, etc.)
Highly recommend the product since it is relatively inexpensive and easy to take.

 So I just finished up my second bottle of Scifits Kre-Aklayn 1500. So the word is this may not be as legit as advertised? Well let me explain my experience on it. First off I have never taken any other form of creatian so this review is soly based on my first experience.
Stregth gains- 10, since taking this my bench has increased 225 x's 3 reps to 225 x's 10 reps that just a small sample size but i saw gains in all body parts. I also started at 200 pounds and now weigh 212
One thing is I was on a bulk, not doing cardio and eating like crazy! Eating is key anyone looking to gain don't think your going to see gains without eating a ton
2 pills in the morning 2 pills after my workout is how I dosed these. During the first bottle I would take them and wait 30 minutes to eat breakfast. I have since switched to taking them and just eating amd haven't seen a difference. Make sure to drink plenty of water as with any supplement. I did notice if i didn't drink plenty of water I would get cotton mouth.
I just finished on these so im waiting to see if i lose some pounds quick due to blotting or if they truly don't bloat you.
For me kre-akylan worked would I suggest this product to someone else? Yes but I'd say have a good clean diet these aren't mirical pills. I revamp my workouts and diet to be bulking, put the work and adding this will only help

 I was pretty happy with this product, strength increased and leaned out a little bit. What i like most about this product is that ur muscles are always full and pumped. Everyone knows the feeling of ur muscles when there fatigued or even if you missed a couple meals or whatever, with this product your muscles are always full and pumped! A great product overall i highly reccomend it!

 Kre-Alk.. Man o man. When I first started perusing this site in late 2010 it seemed like Sci-Fit's Kre-Alkalyn was the toast of the town. There are many, many positive reviews on this product and I almost feel like another one is useless, but because it is one of the supplements I have used again and again with continuously great results, here I am to review Sci-Fit's Kre-Alk. I have experimented with many dosing schemes. Usually 2 upon waking and 2 pre-workout. Off days after the first 2 weeks I would just take 2 upon waking. I have not noticed huge differences in the different ways I have experimented with dosing this. Try it out for yourself and see what works for you..
The number one thing I like about this product is it quite simply makes me stronger. It has helped me work through plateaus and set new personal records. After about the 2nd week of my 3 month cycles, I begin to see these benefits come to light. In addition to strength, this product also allows me to recover much better then with proteins alone. The recovery aspect is amazing and leads to consistently punishing workouts for me.
The first time I started this product I was cutting and I was amazed that my strength continued to rise even while eating less. I have since used it in bulking as well and it just shines in every way I have used it.
I'm not a naturally skinny guy so I like that this product helps to increase my strength and size a bit without giving me stomach bloat. I don't need bloat.
In closing, if you are on the fence about trying this product, jump right in. It is usually priced excellently and the pill dosing is as easy as it gets. I have not experienced any negative side effects but can count many, many benefits. In my opinion this is a foundational supplement which could probably be added to any stack.

 First off, I'm sure you've heard all the hubbub about the fact that SciFit's Kre-Alk is counterfeit according to All American Pharmaceuticals (which is the lab that Bioceutical such and such is a child organization; Bioceutical being the company with the Kre-Alkalyn patent that SciFit supposedly licensed to produce this product). In any case, SciFit isn't a company I trust (anymore) given this plus the recent fiasco where they supposedly were putting bunk products into the market and got nailed by the FDA. With all that out of the way, did this product work for me?
Nah, not really. I got this after I gave in to some of the hype surrounding Kre-Alk and ended up with a big bottle of this and Gluta-lyn. At first I was taking this to supplement the creatine in my pre- and post- drinks, but eventually I started just taking this alone for a few weeks and then as an off-day creatine source with Controlled Labs Green Magnitude.
According to the bottle, it seems to claim that this is much more effective at much lower dosages than monohydrate is, so at first I was taking just two caps a day. When I didn't really experience anything I upped it to four caps a day and that's been my stable dosage (about 3g of Kre-Alk) up to the point I finished the bottle. When I was taking it with my pre and post creatine sources, I felt no difference, which matched my experiences taking it alone, as well. There wasn't even a placebo effect. The only reason I even continued to take it on my off days once I started Green Mag was so that I could finish the bottle and write this review.
With Green Mag, I experienced small strength gains almost immediately. Not a huge difference, but enough that I'm confident that Green Mag is actually providing a benefit over taking nothing at all. Unfortunately, SciFit's Kre-Alk provides no tangible benefits that I can see.
Stick to creatine monohydrate or your favorite designer creatine. You'll get more bang for your buck and won't be disappointed when you find out you've been taking capsules full of flour or whatever the next SciFit scandal happens to be.
