Active Ingredients
Creatine
Creatine is an acid that is produced naturally by the body.
It will boost energy while training with weights (1) as well as increasing your power output (2).
This product uses Kre-Alkalyn, as opposed to the standard monohydrate form of creatine.
Kre-Alkalyn acts as a buffer to prevent toxic byproducts such as creatinine from affecting you.
This is claimed to allow you to get maximum effect from creatine.
However, a 2012 study showed that buffered creatine is no more effective than creatine monohydrate (3).
Each tablet contains 750 mg of creatine.
White, Green and Black Tea Extract
The Kre-Alkalyn creatine is bound to white, green and black tea extracts.
These extracts help you to increase your metabolism, and burn more calories faster (4).
Gelatin
This is made from animal products, and is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
Who Takes It?
EFX Kre-Alkalyn Creatine is taken by people who are trying to increase their lean muscle mass.
It needs to be accompanied by intense resistance training and a sensible weight gain diet to have effect.
How to Take It
Take one capsule in the morning with water, and another directly after your workout.
Unlike other forms of creatine, you do not have to start with a loading phase when using this product.
Side Effects
EFX Kre-Alkalyn Creatine contains only pure creatine.
Because this form of creatine is pH balanced, you do not get the bloating, upset stomach, or gas that is common with other forms of creatine.
Pros:
- pH balanced for maximum utility
- No loading required
- No bloating or upset stomach
Cons:
- Strength gain results will take about 3 weeks
- Contains gelatin as a filler, which is not suitable for vegetarians
- The dose in each capsule is low.
Conclusion
Creatine is a must have in your bodybuilding arsenal.
EFX Kre-Alkalyne Creatine will help you to push harder and get more reps out of your workout.
This buffered form of creatine is 100% stable in water, which means it will not lose potency when mixed and digested.
In saying that, standard creatine monohydrate is one of the most heavily researched supplements in existence, so we know it works well.
Given that it’s much cheaper than Kre-Alkalyne creatine, we have to recommend the standard type.
