So you need to take probably 2 x creatine mono for the same effects of purple k ?
Don't know the pricing, but I'd assume the purple k its many times more than double the price of mono?
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 (CreapureÒ). 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.
Its 39.95...pretty sure ppl can budget that in lol
Ok so this study showed that Creatine Mono had only 1% degradation and Kre-alkalyn had 35% greater degradation than mono under acidic conditions.
Moral of the story, stick with the tried and proven creatine mono.
It was found that almost immediately after adding water to creatine monohydrate that the majority of it rapidly converted to the toxic by-product creatinine. This held true no matter how "unique" the formulation was claimed to be, or the purity of it's assayed dry creatine content.
a pretty simple google search of the following returns a boat load of results on the info you want about monohydrate converting into creatinine.
search the following: "creatine monohydrate converting into creatinine"
Differences in bioavailability are thought to be unlikely since absorption of CrM is already close to 100%.
However, consumers should carefully consider the manufacturers claims that Kre-Alkalyn is more effective than creatine monohydrate in light of the fact that such claims are not substantiated by independent research
The scientific studies that show this please.
hi mate im not a med journal or a google expert.
All i have done is been around the bush a few times taken many different forms of creatine, have taken 3-5g of creatine since i can remember and now im only taking 1.5g and getting the same results......
like i said before in the first post there will be 100 different studies which dispute anything i say and then there will be more studies to dispute what those studies say.
