how would you dose sci-fit's kre-alkalyn 1500 if you work out in the morning... the recommended protocol is 2 in the AM and then 2 Pre-WO or afternoon on non-workout days...

I was thinking 2 on an empty stomach in the morning.. eat and then go workout an hour later and then 2 post workout..

anyone's .02?

Also, I am taking glycobol, which increases and drives creatine uptake..
would you take kre-alkalyn right along with Glycbol or wait the 20 - 30 minutes until the Gbol takes effect and dose the kre-alkalyn as I eat my meal?

thanks
 
I workout in the morning and dose 2 capsules 30 minutes before my workout. I do not dose post workout and have not had the need to. My muscles have been saturated for over three years and any extra creatine would be a waste. If you are brand new to creatine, dosing pre and post may be beneficial to saturate the muscles. Somewhere down the road you can most likely lower the dose.

I do not take creatine on my off days. I used to, but over the years I found nothing beneficial about it. The muscles stay saturated, and one or two days from the gym will not do any harm. If you must, taking it first thing in the morning sounds good.

This is what I do. My best advice would be to try different dosages and dosage timings. Find what really works for you. I have no idea about Glycobol.

I really like Kre-A, and taking capules makes life on the road so much easier.
 
I have taken GreenMag pretty consistently in the past but have been off it since ~dec.. i liked it alot except for the water retention... I took 1 serving GM Pre-WO and one serving PWO..

I also haven't found anything that says it must be taken on an empty stomach or with food.. has anyone found one to be more effective than the other ( i know everyone is different but in your experience)

I also take jack3d Pre-WO ..
 
...or just take 5 grams of Creatine Mono everyday...
Wasn't there a study done showing that kre-alkalyn and CEE actually had a higher conversion rate to creatinine than Creatine Mono?
 
yea i have heard CEE is garbage .. but read countless reviews and logs praising Kre-alkalyn

i think im gonna do two in the morning before i work-out and then two in the afternoon just to spread it out and see out that works

Sounds good to me! Try that out for a week or two, then lower your dosage. And see if you notice any differences. If a lower dosage works for you, that is money in your pocket. :smirk:

Creatine is a stored substance. Shouldn't matter when necessarily? Anyone with me on this?

I am with you. I used to be big on dosage amount and dosage timing. Overtime I realized once the muscles are saturated that is not longer important. Sure dosing post workout is great for optimum uptake, and adding protein/simple carb to the mix may further assist with uptake. But once the muscles are saturate, all that good stuff won't make a difference.

Of course others will argue with this.
 
Too much at one time and you can piss it out, other than that, there's no real issue with timing. The old school thought was that you NEEDED an insulin spike to drive this into your system, but theres been no evidence that I've seen that truly supported that.

I use MST's Kreaceps (we use the same ingredient, which is Kre-Alkalyn) and I use 3-4g's/day.

I believe you can find bulk Kre-alk for around the same price as Monohydrate.
I saw it on Supplement Warehouse I think.
 
how long does it usually take for Kre-alkalyn to be in effect?? I dunno if its the placebo but this is by third day and I my pumps and endurance was awesome!
