I'm using krealkalyn right now. It's always worked better for me than mono. Doesn't work for everyone though it seems.

Just use straight creatine monohydrate - it's the most researched, tried and true creatine available. There is nothing wrong with Kre-Alkalyn, though - either or will be fine; it's your preference.

Thanks everyone, one more when should I take my creatine? Before workin out or after, and it should be taken with simple carbs that's iff its 100 percent just creatine powder, right?

Really it could be both. You can actually load by dosing 10-20 grams daily to saturate your muscles and when fully saturated just dose maintenance- 5g daily. I split my intake up some, just to break down the amount I take in at once. Some upon waking, some preworkout and some post. Timing isn't as important with creatine.

Personal preference as to timing of creatine dosing - you can do:
* ~60 min pre-training,
* Immediately post-training, or
* ~60 min pre-training AND immediately post-training.

If you're only going to dose once daily, I recommend 5g immediately POST-training.

If you're going to dose pre and post, use 2-3g per dose (if using pills, this is usually 2 caps).

A high intake (75-100g) of carbohydrates increases the absorption rate of creatine, yes, but you do not necessarily have to dose your creatine with carbohydrates - only if you want to make it more effective.

Creatine loading is NOT necessary, and is another personal preference practice.
