Article: The Creatine Graveyard Update 2012

Ok, so I read the study, and there is one glaring problem that both the researchers + Will Brink missed - doses. Here's the relevant part

In a double-blind manner, 36 resistance trained participants (20.2±2 yrs, 181±7 cm, 82±12 kg, 14.7±5 % body fat) were randomly assigned to supplement their diet with CrM (Creapure®, AlzChem AG, Germany) for 28-days (20 g/d for 7-d, 5 g/d for 21-d), an equivalent amount of KA as a high dose supplement (KA-H), or the manufacturer’s recommended dose of KA (1.5 g/d for 28-d, KA-L).

so creatine mono was given at 20g/day for the first week then 5g a day. The low buffered creatine was at label dose of 1.5g/day. The high dose was "an equivalent amount of KA". Whats an equivalent amount? Is it the actual same amount? or did they arrive at equivalent by some other math? I've never seen a research study that didn't show an actual measurement before. What a bunch of crap. So the study shows that when you take somewhere between 4 and 12 times as much creatine mono it raises intramuscular levels more. Not exactly a shock.

Most likely done since KA pills, according to free to look at online patent, contain 500bc and the rest is soda ash (sodium carbonate). Odd Brink is still on this one since every KA study done besides by KA profiteers shows CM is better at 5g doses compares to 500mg BC
 
Will, I frinded you on youtube a long time ago! Didnt even know you were a writer! Have you talked about dicreatine malate yet?

The study shows nothing !!!! i would consider waste to read and get anything!
What a waste article!

well, no, it shows that kre-alkalyn at the doses manufacturers suggest is a waste of money compared to creatine mono at the doses manufacturers suggest, so its valuable from that point. It just doesn't tell you if a higher dose of krealkalyn is effective.

What is the point to do the study without showing what the outcome should be. They present the problem but have no solution!!

It does prove that paying the price premium for kre alkalyn to only take 1.5g is pointless
 
With the amount of conflicting studies that come out nowadays, who should we believe unless we test these supps ourselves.
We spend our hard earned $ on something, only to be told that the 'latest scientific' study proves it's garbage.

Maybe the earth is flat afterall.
