I'd think they would be fine, but for the future just use regular Invalid Link Removed

Sounds great , and isn't kre just a buffered version of mono , surprisingly mono is the only creatine I've never tried . Maybe ill go to tht my next round !

Potentially cocaine. I'd still use it.

No **** its not cocaine. Take a joke for ****s sake.
 
You get your creatine from a brick & mortar store?
 
There's a lot of people on here who act really hard and it's annoying . Your not hard . Just saying so keep the profanity to yourself as well. Also, yes they sell the best concrete* I've tried yet . now I'm just kiddin, what I meant was I dont buy it off the Internet I get it from a store in my town , when referring to a physical building a lt of people will say brick and mortar in the business world but not everyday talk that was my fault
 
Kre-Alkalyn has been long since shown to be a less effective form of creatine.

Creatine with a relatively weak buffer as in Kre-Alkalyn is going to actually spend more time in PH ranges in which creatine degrades faster.

Stick with Creatine Mono from a reliable brand, it's cheaper and more effective.
 
Just so everyone know if you joke with me and I don't like it I won't act like a tough guy laughing on the other side of the screen. I'm here to learn and have friendly convos. It's called maturity . Thanks. Find something better to do then have a cyber argument.

I didnt realize this at all, thanks for the info !i thought it actually had a better conversion rate and maintaining itself as creatine because of is ph ... Damn it lol

Nope. Regular creatine mono is king (well, at least in comparison to KA).

i do have to say so far mono has always done the job , What are your thoughts on hcl or glycerol phosphate

HCL should help an individual reach saturation quicker, however once saturation is met it will yield the same result as mono. I prefer MCC.

Is there anything to suggest it actually increases maximum uptake? Or just lowers the maximum dose necessary to maximize uptake.

Well, creatine mono's bioavailability is close to 100%, so I wouldn't say any form can beat out mono in regards to that. I believe various creatine salts (creatine HCL as our example) are absorbed faster.

I guess what I'm getting at is, how does 'faster' manifest itself beneficially in this situation?

With drugs that are seeking to achieve acute effects I can see why hydrochlorides are beneficial, but with something you supplement with chronically to maintain saturation, I can't see the same benefit.

Maybe I'm just really annoyed that Promera is laughing their way to the bank selling 34 gram tubs of creatine for a price at which you could buy a years supply of creatine mono.

I wasn't sure how long he had been using KA for, but yes I agree, if you're using it for a prolonged duration (like most people) then might as well stick with mono.

I could see some people using a creatine HCL form for the first couple weeks then switching to mono, or something along those lines.

But yeah, most of us once we reach saturation (roughly a month at 5g daily?) are fine with 2-3g ~4 days a week or so.
 
I have been using kre for only a few days I have always used hcl/mono blends believe it or not . Never just simply mono . I usually never cycle off creatine maybe once ever 6 months .
 
Creatine Mono is still IMO the king of creatines. It's tried and true and has been relevant for a reason! A lot of myths surrounding it and misinformation.

Interesting article comparing all the different Creatines on the market:Invalid Link Removed

They to agree, Creatine Mono(Creapure) stands as "king", check it for yourself!
 
Lot's of pre-workouts include it so I'd say most people probably don't even need it.
