Creatine is a nutrient naturally found in all our bodies. It is a combination of 3 amino acids; arginine, glycine and methionine.
Creatine helps provide the energy our muscles need to move, particularly quick and explosive movements. Muscle contraction is initially fuelled by ATP (adenosine-triphosphate).
Creatine improves muscular endurance. It also enhances muscle mass and speeds recovery during intense training. Unlike steroids or drugs, creatine is 100% natural and occurs naturally in many foods such as meat and fish.
For athletes and fitness enthusiasts, the level of creatine produced in their bodies is of utmost importance. Creatine in supplements is readily absorbed by our bodies, being treated much like the creatine it produces by itself.

Clinical Trial Comparison of Kre-Alkalyn -vs- Creatine
Monohydrate
By: Dr. Afgerinos Affouras (sports doctor, CSKA senior
soccer team), Dr. Katia Vodenicharova, M.D. (therapist, nephr
ologist), Dr. Dobriana Shishmanova (PhD cardilogist), Dr.
Krassimir Goranov M.D., Dr. Karmen Stroychev M.D.
Test Performed at: Dr. I.S. Greenberg Medical Center, Sofia, Bulgaria
Purpose of Study: To determine if a difference exists between Kre-Alkalyn and Creatine Monohydrate.
Procedures: 24 healthy male Olympic-level soccer players were divided randomly into two groups. One group ingested Kre-Alkalyn and the other used Creatine Monohydrate. This was a 4 month study.
Conclusion & Final Analysis: Kre-Alkalyn out performed creatine monohydrate in n early all ergonometry measurements. Most notable were that Kre-Alkalyn actually lowered cholesterol and triglyceride levels over creatine. pH was also found to be elevated in the Kre-Alkalyn group. The most significant performance finding was an increase in VO2 Max of the Kre-Alkalyn group over the creatine group.
Kre Alkalyn Creatine Complex contains:
Kre-Alkalyn 1400 mg, L-Taurine 600 mg, Alpha Lipoic Acid 50 mg and Vanadyl Sulfate 20 mg.
