It definitely made me feel stronger, like I could do just one more set. I was lifting more weight once I switched and it just gave this burn to the areas you were working.
Do some research on Kre-Alkalyn and I think you would be surprised on how many say it is the best Creatine out there because it is already broken down; 1g of Kre-Alkalyn = 10g Creatine.

To be honest (no disrespect) I disagree completely. There have been multiple studies (I'll see if I can find them) That Kre-Alyn is not bunk per say, but is no more effective than regular monohydrate. Infact, it is basically mono bonded with some soda ash (or something weird like that, something basic)... you could (in theory) get the same effects from having mono with baking soda. It degraded at the same rate as creatine monohydrate into creatanine.
The big myth with mono is that you need to load and take 10grams per day or something like that. 2-5grams of mono shown to optimally saturate creatine stores, loading is also basically a waste..
IMO with ALL supplements, the biggest reason why they work is placebo. I'm 100% guilty of this too. Again, I'll see if I can find the studies.
