EFX Sports Kre-Alkalyn | PH-Correct Creatine Monohydrate | Multi-Patented Formula, Gain Strength, Build Muscle & Enhance Performance - 240 Capsules / 120 Servings

No side effects. I take one in the morning before my work-out and on at night before my second workout of the day. I use a pedometer that syncs with my phone to keep track of my work-out and theres a meaningful difference on the days where I dont bother to take my creatine for whatever reason and (possibly unrelated) I went a few weeks without taking any and ended up hurting my calf during my daily run. Obviously not withdrawal, but I kind of suspect that the added boost from the stuff was helping keep me safe before then and Ive heard similar stuff from different people. Its not a vitamin and it obviously does less than nothing if you take it without working out, but Ive gotten pretty good results by combining it with my work-outs and (more importantly) zero side effects. FYI, I read a lot of reviews before trying this stuff and they all seemed to imply that in powdered form creatine A) tastes terrible no matter what and B) is more likely to have side effects. So whatever you take it should probably be in pill form.

This WORKS

I had a really bad experience with these pills. I took them for about a month and I started breaking out within a week. I wasn’t sure why I was breaking out, then I completely stoped taking the creatine, and they completely went away after that! I have switched back to the original purple caps. I have been taking those for about a year or two years and those never broke me out so I think it might’ve been the vegetable capsules!

It actually works

My go to product. Have purchased several times

Alright - where to even begin when discussing the review of a supplement that aids in muscle growth and weight lifting. Im a 73-year-old former Marine who religiously hits the gym 4-5 times a week, spending 3 hours at a time while there. As Ive gotten older, I noticed that my energy levels, muscle size/definition, and stamina have waned somewhat and that had me concerned. I began reading up on a variety of supplements that one could take to aid in this process, and I subsequently focused on Creatine products. I began first by using Creatine Monohydrate capsules - the most common form of creatine on the market - and by God, yes it worked. After a few weeks my strength levels increased by a good 10-15% depending on the exercise I was performing. Muscle size also noticeably increased in size, and my weight-lifting stamina and strength were noticeably improved. But the side effects - just as advertised - was bloating. In my case, the bloating was all in my stomach, and it showed. Trousers were tighter around the waist to wear, and I gained within the first 2-3 weeks, a good 10+ lbs. But one side effect bothered me (and my wife) the most - and that was the issue of gassy-assy, sigh. I started developing bad intestinal gas issues at the end of the day and by the time I sat down in the evening to watch TV, I was blowin my poor wife off the couch with some absolutely tremendous silent-but-deadly (SBD) farts!!! There is no other way to describe it. Of course, being the typical guy, I first delighted in having the power to force my wife off the couch by these means, but that soon ended when I saw the look on her face. Then I began researching other creatine products and read about versions that had lower PH formulations such as this one here - EFX Kre-Alkalyn. So I ordered, really looking forward to seeing if my bloating would decrease - especially my gas issues. Well unfortunately, the bloating remained and so did the gas issues and that was a huge disappointment, and it made me realize that every digestive system is different. I made sure to investigate if there were other issues at hand that might have been causing my gas. In the end, I discovered it was the Creatine in general that was causing it all. So, I had to stop taking Creatine in general and my issues stopped. Luckily - after stopping my creatine intake - I hadnt lost any noticeable strength or size. In the end, my poor wife of 43 years actually threatened to leave me if I continued with my gass-assy syndrome. It took me a few hours to figure out if I wanted to keep the Creatine and chance it with da Misses, or if I should just quit. Well, the wife won - now Im gas free, my stomach size has gone down somewhat also. So I guess it was the right decision. So the moral of my story is - be careful when using Creatine (especially when you get older), because different types (formulations) basically will have the same effect. I just hope you dont get that overblown colonic back-blast syndrome that I experienced for a few months. In the end, everyone is different and your mileage may vary. Good luck...

If you had the choice of taking 2 pills of kre-alkalyn or 6 pills of creatine... Yet along 6 pills of anything, my reflexes start to gag. I’m not taking 6 pills of any single supplement. I will take 2 pills of kre-alkalyn if I’m working out that day. I will take 1 pill of kre-alkalyn when I’m not working out one day. Because it is a reserve that is worth keeping topped off in case we fall and injure ourselves down some stairs. Kre-alkalyn every day for the rest of my life!

The EFX brand is the original producer of this fairly new creatine supplement. It has a special tendency to remain potent even when taken with liquids, retaining its full potency. Other types, like creatine monohydrate, will dissolve faster and not give you the necessary delivery to your muscles. Also, creatine monohydrate will dry your joints and cause bloating and, for me personally, wicked stomach cramps. In addition, it could potentially cause harm to your liver over time because, when broken down in your system, it releases toxins in your body. Kre alkalyn is a completely clean supplement that does not leave toxins in your various digestive organs. You even absorb 100% of the kre alkalyn into your system with its added nutrients, helping you achieve maximum results. However, this stuff, on occasion, will cause VERY minor bloatings. But I am not 100% sure if it is this product as it could be my preworkout as well. The other advatage is there is no loading phase to mess around with. What I do is take one before a workout, usually 30 minutes or so. You are supposed to take it an hour before, but I like to have a long warm up to avoid injuries and I want this to kick in during the meat of my routine. Also, I take one immediately folliwing my workout. I tend not to take them when not working out as I feel they will not be working to their full potential; but, Im sure it would not hurt. Performance wise, I experience a noticeable burst of energy. However, a pre workout like AC/G3 is much better for this kind of boost. I definitely felt stamina augmentation during my workouts. I could increase my reps from normal and could do more sets. In about 2 months, I was able to put on 20 lbs to my benchpress. I also went from 5 ugly pullups for 6 sets to 8 controlled pullups for 10 sets in this time frame. Do to a pulled groin, I cant make the judgment on my squat or deadlift at this time, but plan to update in the future. But, if it helped my bench, which is my weakest lift, I am confident it will help my stonger lifts as well. I have been really blown away by this product as most seem to promise the world with little results. This stuff really works and it is my most valuable supplement. I highly recommend this product and buying it from amazon. My brother paid $39.99 at gnc for 90 capsules as opposed to paying $24.94 for 240 capsules. I have a realy hard time increasing my muscle mass and strength, but this has really helped me. I hope it helps you as well.

Been using this product since I started going to gym (3-5 years now) Love this product.

When my order got here, it was opened. The plastic seal around the lid was broken. The lid was halfway off and the papery material between the contents and the lid was ripped off. Can’t even return it because itd be another 5 days until I can get to a post office, and another 2 for it to ship back to me. Unreal.
