3 Times Stronger Than Regular Creatine with Better Absorption! Kre-Alkalyn is "buffered creatine" that does not convert into creatinine prior to reaching skeletal muscle tissue. Kre-Alkalyn is believed to have the benefits of regular creatine, without the associated side effects of creatine monohydrate use. The efficacy & safety of creatine monohydrate is well established in scientific literature & thus Kre-Alkalyn is believed to have the same ergogenic abilities & safety profile while using less Kre-Alkalyn per dosing as compared to creatine monohydrate.
