Kre-Alkalyn® – taking performance to a new level
When we’re exercising intensely, the body needs a lot of energy. This energy takes on the form of ATP inside our cells. When it gets used up, our body needs to restore ATP levels. How quickly we do that will directly impact our performance and how long we can do high-intensity exercise for.
That’s where creatine comes in. Our muscles have a form of creatine, called phosphocreatine. Phosphocreatine can help replenish the ATP levels in the cells, ensuring that you have plenty of energy for those pumps or sprints.
The benefits of creatine
It’s no wonder then, that supplementing creatine can really supercharge your performance. Creatine can:
- Improve performance at high intensity, making you jump better or sprint faster
- It can boost strength and power, helping to lift more weights at the gym
- It activates muscle building processes in the cells
- It increases muscle size and lean body weight
- It makes you feel less tired during a workout
With all these benefits, creatine has become a popular supplement, usually in the form of creatine monohydrate. However, innovation has brought forth Kre-Alkalyn® , a form of creatine that is buffered.
This means that the creatine in Kre-Alkalyn® is not acidic, reaching the muscles more efficiently compared with other forms. It does not cause stomach discomfort, like other supplements may. It is also more convenient – you need a smaller dose of Kre-Alkalyn compared to creatine monohydrate to get the same benefits.
Maxler Kre-Alkalyn® caps are a convenient form of creatine supplements that will help you reach your training goals, whatever they may be.

What is the difference between the different forms of creatine?
With the many forms of creatine available, it can be confusing which supplement to choose. Creatine comes in forms such as liquid creatine, creatine hydrochloride, creatine ethyl ester, and many others. Although they all contain the same active ingredient, creatine, the most commonly used form is creatine monohydrate. Kre-Alkalyn® or buffered creatine, however, is gaining popularity because it can provide the same benefits as creatine monohydrate in smaller doses and without the stomach upset.
Can I take Kre-Alkalyn® Caps if I am not a competitive athlete?
Yes! Creatine supplementation has other positive effects besides improving performance in the gym. Creatine can be a useful aid for those looking to lose weight or reduce post-exercise fatigue as part of their active lifestyle. It can even help improve brain function. This is especially important for people who don't eat much meat and for older adults.
What does buffered creatine mean?
Acidity affects creatine – if the environment is too acidic, creatine is broken down into creatinine. Buffered creatine, such as Kre-Alkalyn®, is made with an alkaline powder that reduces its acidity. This gives Kre-Alkalyn® greater bioavailability, no side effects, and just as much effectiveness at a lower dose.
How does creatine work at the cellular level?
ATP is the form that cellular energy takes. When the energy is used up, ATP becomes ADP. To convert ADP back to ATP, ADP must be supplied with a phosphate. This is where creatine comes in. Creatine is used to make phosphocreatine, which is essentially creatine with a phosphate. Phosphocreatine can donate its phosphate to ADP, restoring ATP and making it available for muscle contractions.
