Kre-Alkalyn® is the ideal product for explosivesports athletes. It gives superior strength increasesand power over conventional creatine (5%+). It can
be used just on the days athletes are training orcompeting - making it, if desired, more economical
to use. Because Kre-Alkalyn® does not cause
water retention is another important reason why it is
more ideal for explosive sports athletes. It yields farbetter power to weight ratio because you get supe-rior strength improvements and no water retention
(no extra weight to carry). It also means the athlete
will be a lot nimbler - able to dodge, duck, sprint and jump better. Using higher doses DO lead to improved
strength increases yet again. However note particu-larly when used with a carbohydrate/insulin spikingformula and every day in succession, it may cause
water retention. We have noticed this when usinghigh doses of 5–7.5g with an athlete weighing 80kg.
TakingKre-Alkalyn® with simple carbohydrates to
increase the uptake through the insulin spike effect,
yields a more pronounced effect than taking Kre-
Alkalyn®
in isolation (for obviousreasons).
Sports Drinks
This is the ‘holy grail’ of sports nutrition - to put cre-atine into a convenient sports drink and keep it
stable. With Kre-Alkalyn® this is now made pos-
sible. A convenient sports drink will leads to big sales
increases. If a consumer can easily access the drinkfrom the 1000’s of convenience stores in each coun-try, this will lead to much higher impulse sales. Be-
cause Kre-Alkalyn® requires NO LOADING this
means it is even more ideal for this type of productas it gives instant results within just 1 hour of taking
it! We recommend a combination of simple and com-plex carbohydrates for a better, longer energy boost-ing effect.
Women
Women absolutely LOVE Kre-Alkalyn®!They get a lot stronger when using it, they see re-
sults faster and they don’t get the bloated look ofconventional creatine! There is a whole new mar-ket application here. Many women have avoided
using conventional creatine in the past becausethey hated looking bloated. This is no longer a prob-
lem.
Team Kre-Alkalyn will HelpOur scientists will help you formulate any type ofproduct using Kre-Alkalyn. From sport nutrition-
general nutrition, from funcional food-gums.
Real GainsAnother point to make, but this is an education
issue, because Kre-Alkalyn® does not cause
water retention, all of the gains made while usingit are real gains! With conventional creatine,once you stop you loose the water retention and
hence loose a lot of the ‘weight gained’.
IMPORTANT POINTS FOR MANUFACTURERS / FORMULATORS TO NOTE
History / Background: Creatine was discovered in the late 1800’s. It
wasn’t till the 1970’s that Creatine’s true benefits were discovered by
athletes who used it in the Olympics, to help maximise their explosive
energy. Over the years it has become one of the biggest selling sports
supplements in history.
The goal of every athlete is to maximize energy levels. One of the bod-
ies primary short burst energy sources is adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
The body uses creatine in its process of naturally replenishing ATP. When
you exercise or tense a muscle, force is produced. That force is trans-
lated into a muscle contraction. In order for the muscle to function prop-
erly, it requires energy. The energy it uses comes from several different
sources, but the primary source comes from the nutrients that you ob-
tain from your diet. These nutrients are then broken down & absorbed;
they will then continue on in the system for usage. One of the com-
pounds that is formed, after several complicated processes and reac-
tions, is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). When muscle energy is needed,
this ATP is broken down one step further into a chemical called adenos-
ine diphosphate (ADP). With this process of ATP being broken down
into ADP, energy is released and used by the contracting muscles. With-
out this in sufficient amounts, your muscle would not be able to work or
perform properly. The body naturally produces creatine (about 2 grams
per day).
Muscle can only store so much ATP, typically only giving about 5-10
seconds of muscle exertion before those storage receptors are depleted.
This results in muscle failure along with bio energetic depletion or ATP
depletion. When this happens, your body tries to restore its immediate
source of ATP by borrowing a high energy phosphate from a chemical
called creatine phosphate (CP). Muscle cells store the chemical CP inthe same way it stores ATP. If high intensity exercise goes beyond 10
seconds, your body will continue to try and restore its ATP levels by a
process called glycolysis. This process is complicated and is a slow
method of restoring ATP levels, especially for the anaerobic athleteswho require instant energy to maintain and sustain high-powered muscle
contractions. By orally supplementing with creatine, you can enhance
your body’s storage levels of CP. As the muscle runs out of ATP it canrecharge itself by borrowing this CP phosphate molecule. Research has
shown that by supplementing with 5 grams of creatine, 4-6 times a day,for 2 or more days, the human body showed a significant increase intotal creatine concentration.
and serums). It also ensured the new bufferedcreatine would pass intact through thestomach and at full strength into the bloodstream.
Q. So what does this all mean?A. Simply a better, more effective form of
creatine. You can opt to use less what youused to, no loading, get a better effect andwith none of the side effects from takingconventional creatine, nor the possible long-term risks of continued use over a period of
years. Kre-Alkalyn® is superior - full stop!
As good as conventional creatinemonohydrate was, this new form is a big leapforward again. Its like comparing a 1950’s
sports car to a modern F1 car.Q. Why aren’t other brands marketing it yet?
A. Kre-Alkalyn® is brand new. Innovative
and progressive supplement companies willrecognise this products full potential and willbe quick to bring it to the market. Othercompanies unfortunately are slow adoptersor have a ‘follow the pack’ mentality. Theytypically are two to three years behind
research breakthoughs but sometimes even20-30 years behind. Competitive athletes willwant to use the best nutrition technologyavailable. Don’t be a sheep, find out how goodit is yourself.
Q. Kre-Alkalyn® is Buffered Creatine
Monohydrate - what is it buffered with?
A. We call it buffered creatine. The bufferingtakes place in the synthesis process, allowing
us to retain a safe, high pH.Q. A strong alkaline will burn human tissue inthe same way as a strong acid will it not?
A. This is food grade technology – sameanalogy as a 3.0 pH acid will burn the skin,yet you can drink a soda pop (pH 3) that hasused phosphoric or citric acid).
Q. Once it hits the stomach will it no longerbe stable because of the strong acids
present?A. Kre-Alkalyn®
is also designed to buffer
the stomach, raising the pH long enough forabsorption.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSConversion problemQ If I understand this correctly the new datasays that a significant proportion of the creatinemonohydrate I have been taking converts tothe toxin creatinine within minutes when addedto any liquid be it juice or water etc. So I could
be in effect taking a lot of creatinine (a toxin)and very little of actual creatine monohydrate.How is this so? I have been using creatine foryears and got a good effect from it. Pleaseexplain.
A. The best way to explain it is, your bodymakes around 2 grams per day. When yousupplement 5000mg of creatine you probablyonly get the benefit from part of the actual doseyou took. The additional milligrams on top of
your 2 grams your body naturally produces,would give an increase in the pool of creatineavailable. That is why good results were stillbeing experienced. You just have to startlooking at it differently. Most of the creatine maybe lost when added to liquid, and more isconverted when passing through your acidicstomach. Note: some companies were pointingto the virtual lack of creatinine in their powder,as proof of purity of their powder over othersources. In most cases this was true but onlywhile it was still in its powder form.
Q This new form of creatine monohydrate -
Kre-Alkalyn® says it never converts to the
toxin creatinine. How does that work?A. Our researchers discovered that whilecreatine monohydrate is nice and stable andpure in its powder form, as soon as you add it
to a liquid, it is no longer stable and rapidlyconverts to the by-product toxin creatinine.What they discovered was, the speed ofconversion was directly proportional to the pHof the liquid it was being added to. Merelyhaving it added to a strong alkaline drink didnot solve the problem due to the digestionissue, of it having to pass through the highlyacidic stomach. They discovered if theybuffered it with an alkaline greater than pH12
then it remained completely stable in any liquidfor long periods of time (now opening the way
The United States Patent office issued Patent #6,399,661 to Kre-AlkalynR on June
4, 2002 as the only patented buffered creatine in the World.
Kre-AlkalynR’s preferred function is to increase creatine and creatine phos-
phate stores in the human system. The reason for this is as follows:
When you exercise or tense a muscle, force is produced resulting in muscle
contraction. In order for the muscle to function properly, it requires energy. This energy
comes from several different sources, but primary from the nutrients obtained from
your diet which are broken down & absorbed. One of the compounds that is formed
after several complicated processes and reactions, is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). When
muscle energy is needed this ATP is broken down one step further into a chemical called
adenosine diphosphate (ADP). When this process of ATP being broken down into ADPoccurs, energy is released and used by the contracting muscles. Without this in suffi-
cient amounts, your muscle would not be able to work or perform properly. The goal of
athletes is to maximize the efficiency of their energy systems, which in turn boosts their
athletic performance.
Muscle can only store so much ATP, typically giving about 5-10 seconds of
muscle exertion before those storage receptors are depleted. This results in muscle fail-
ure along with bioenergetic depletion or ATP depletion. When this happens, your body
tries to restore its immediate source of ATP by borrowing a high energy phosphate from
a chemical called creatine phosphate (CP). Muscle cells store the chemical CP in thesame way it stores ATP. If high intensity exercise goes beyond 10 seconds, your body
will continue to try and restore its ATP levels by a process called glycolysis. This pro-
cess is complicated and is a slow method of restoring ATP levels, especially for anaero-
bic athletes who require instant energy to maintain and sustain high powered muscle
contractions.
By orally supplementing with Kre-AlkalynR, you can enhance your body’s stor-
age levels of CP. As the muscle runs out of ATP it can recharge itself by borrowing this
CP phosphate molecule. Research has shown that by supplementing with 1.5 grams of
Kre-AlkalynR daily for 2 or more days, that the human body will show a dramatic in-crease in CP concentration.
You can not supplement with just ATP or CP, due to the fact that these chemi-
cals are destroyed in the Gut. Therefore supplementing with Kre-AlkalynR is the only
way to increase these storage levels. Remember, the main advantages of taking Kre-
AlkalynR is the fact that cellular concentrations after administration are stable and are
not prone to being lost or converted to creatinine after activation.
As published in our first research book, the main problem with all other exist-
ing creatine supplementation is their inability to deliver a concentrated and stable amountof creatine to the system. Our research proved that these prior creatine arts actually have
the human body ingesting creatinine , a poisonous and toxic by product. Due to the
conversion rate of creatine to creatinine in all other creatine products, many negative
and dangerous side effects have been documented. These side effects are caused by the
body’s defense to the toxic compound creatinine. Creatinine is flushed in the kidneys,
which is our bodies internal defense mechanism to save itself from this ingested poison
by diluting this toxin with water.
Listed below are a few of the more common complaints & aliments of creati-
nine poising from creatine.:*Stomach cramps
*Indemia
*Bloating
*Excess water retention
*Dehydration
*Cotton Mouth
*Headaches
*Liver problems
*Kidney problems*Lack of energy
*Impaired renal function
Kre-AlkalynR Physiology: Among the people who question the validity of a buffered
or alkaline creatine, the biggest question is, “What happens to your buffered creatine
once it reaches the stomach, which is highly acidic?” We have heard this question not
only asked by consumers, but also educated medical doctors. Some have tried to state
(out of ignorance) that you can not drink an alkaline creatine with a pH higher than
neutral but they argue it is O.K. to drink a creatine acid mix with a pH lower than neutral.
The point being, it is safe to drink a pH 12 if done correctly as it is safe to drink a pH 4,
from a diet soda.
Basic human anatomy taught us that in order to digest food and kill bacteria
and viruses, the good Lord created our stomach to maintain a pH value of around 3.
When we eat food and drink water, the pH value inside the stomach goes up, depending
on the over all pH of what is ingested. Upon ingestion of a substance, our stomach
internal feedback mechanism detects this consumption and signals the interior walls to
secrete more hydrochloric acid. This signaling process is on going until the stomachsacidic level is achieved. Again, ignorance says that a buffered creatine will convert to
creatinine in the stomach just like any other creatine product.
However, by going back to our high school anatomy and physiology books,
we’ll re-discover how the stomach wall produces hydrochloric acid. As we read on we
will find that your stomach does not contain a hydriodic acid reservoir, just awaiting the
ingestion of food, but that the walls produce this acid instantly on a as-needed basis.
Incidently, if there were a such a reservoir or pouch, this acid would burn right through
the stomach wall!The components in the cells of the stomach wall that produce hydrochloric
acid (HCl) are carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and sodium chloride (NaCl) or po-
tassium chloride (Kcl).
Or as we scientist like to write:
NaCl + H2O + CO2 = HCl + NaHCO3, or KCl + H2O + CO2 = HCl + KHCO3
As we continue to read our anatomy books, we’ll also discover that the byproduct
of making hydrochloric acid is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) or potassium bicarbonate
(KHCO3). As our buffered creatine is mixed with these bicarbonates they pass through
the intestines and into the blood stream, all the while continuing to neutralize excess
acids in the blood (Lactic Acid). By only looking at the pH value of the stomach alone,
it seems that Kre-AlkalynR patented buffered system would never reach the bloodstream.
But research shows that upon the ingestion of Kre-AlkalynR there is a net gain of alkalin-
ity in the body. When the stomach pH value rises higher than 4, the stomach knows what
to do to lower it, but if the pH value goes below 4, for any reason, the stomach doesn’t
know what to do. Hence you take a antacid, such as TUMS® (GlaxoSmithlkine), to
neutralize the acid in your stomach This will relieve acidic stomach gas pain. When youingest low pH creatine fizzes and drinks very little hydrochloric acid is produced by the
stomach wall. This results in small amounts of alkaline buffer being produced and intro-
duced into the blood stream, resulting in a low blood pH..
The next series of terms are important, as their meanings helps to understand
the full scope and mechanics behind the world renown invention of US Patent# 6,399,661,
Kre-AlkalynR, “The Metabolic Acid Buffer”TM.
pH: A well know Danish biochemist named Soren Sorensen, invented the pH system in
1909. A solution’s pH is defined as the negative logarithm, to the base 10, of its hydro-
gen-ion concentration. This concentration is expressed in moles of hydrogen ions per
liter of solution.
The letters pH are a universal number used by all scientists to indicate the con-
centration of hydrogen ions in a solution. The “p” stands for “potenz” (the potential to
be) and the “H” stands for Hydrogen, therefore pH stands for potential hydrogen.
Metabolic Acids: This term refers to all the body’s acids except carbon dioxide. Meta-
bolic acids are not respirable; they have to be neutralized, metabolized, or excreted via
Acidosis: Acidosis is a condition in which the body’s fluids tend to have a higher acid
content than normal. The body has a variety of ways to compensate for mild acidosis,
but prolong acid ingestion will result in weakness, headache, heavy or rapid breathing.
Severe acidosis can lead to acidemia, which is a build-up of acids in the blood, resulting
in a coma or death.
Metabolic Acidosis: Metabolic acidosis arises from Kidney failure due to decreased pH
levels and creatinine poisoning. Metabolic Acidosis is a clinical disturbance character-
ized by an increase in total body acid. Most creatine supplements are delivered in a low
pH or acidic solution. These low pH creatine’s, combined with low pH sodas, drinks,
foods & deserts has shown to cause this dangerous clinical disturbance that hinders
athletic performance.
Lactic Acid: Lactic acid is the most famous “Metabolic Acid” that hinders athletic per-
formance and is the term used most commonly to describe the intense pain felt during
exhaustive exercise. Lactic acid is a nasty compound produced by almost all tissues in
the human body. This acid is formed by glycolysis, which is a chemical process in
which glucose is broken down to pyruvic acid. This process (glycolysis) causes the
release of carbon dioxide, water and energy (ATP). When there is an excess of pyruvicacid, lactic acid is then formed. Our bodies response to a normal build up of lactic acid
is to transport the buildup from the cramped muscle via the blood stream to the liver
where it is converted back to pyruvic acid, then to carbon dioxide, water & ATP.
Contracting muscle obtain this ATP from glucose stored in the blood stream
and from glycogen that is stored in the muscles. At first, pyruvic acid and small amounts
of ATP are generated. The pyruvic acid, mixed with oxygen is converted to carbon
dioxide, water and ATP. As muscle continue to contract with exercise, the circulatory
system can not keep up with the supply of oxygen. In this condition (which could occur
in seconds for some), most of the pyruvic acid produced in the breakdown of glucose is
converted to lactic acid. As this acid is produced in the muscles, it immediately leaks out
into the blood stream and is carried through out the body, causing a impairment to the
body’s normal function resulting in muscle fatigue. As more oxygen becomes available,
the lactic acid is converted back to pyruvic acid, then into carbon dioxide, water and
ATP. But unfortunately by this time, most humans will have quit exercising to allow the
body to re-oxygenate.
As stated, lactic acid is a by-product produced by muscle tissue in order to
obtain energy by metabolizing glucose in the absence of oxygen. Lactic acid in largeamounts is formed during strenuous exercise, which leads to muscle cramps, fatigue and
failure. Lactic acid fatigue is commonly called “the burn or hitting the wall”. Scientists,
athletes and the rest of the human population all agree on one thing; Lactic acid is not
our friend, but our foe when it comes to normal muscle function.
Low pH creatine supplements: Besides the fact that most of the creatine products on
the market are mixed with acids (to make them taste good while being nice and fizzy)
and the research that lead to US Patent # 6,399,661 proves these low pH creatine’s once
mixed with water or juice are instantaneously converted to creatinine, there is another
scientific and biological reason not to ingest these acidic mixes. By lowering the human
systems pH, these products cause the body to slip into acidosis leading to fatigue, lactic
acid build up and decreases in energy. So the question is, “Doesn’t this defeat the
whole reason why you are taking a creatine product?” Basic metabolic research was
set aside by these creatine manufactures in attempt to justify why their product taste
better or mixed better then the next. By making the body more acidic, you are decreas-ing strength, endurance and over all athletic performance. Yes, that also means a de-
crease in reps during weight training.
“The Metabolic Acid BufferTM”
Kre-AlkalynR is the only creatine that buffers lactic acid. Accumulation of
metabolic acids (H+) is recognized as a rate limiting factor in anaerobic exercise. Kre-
AlkalynR‘s buffering effect assists in sparing the body’s endogenous bicarbonate stores,
prolonging muscular performance and delaying the onset of fatigue.
Lactic acid is a powerful enemy to muscle growth. Muscles work within very
narrow chemical limits, which is called your Power Zone. When you squeeze out that
last rep, or you painfully make it through the last play before half time, lactic acid levels
build up and the chemistry in your muscle drops below the Power Zone. Not only do
you feel the familiar lactic acid burn, but your muscles stop pushing weight and your
legs feel like jelly. We have all been there no matter what activity we do, even a simple
walk. No matter how much your brain wants to keep lifting, you can’t. The power is
gone and the pain is too great. After you rest for awhile, your body’s internal lactic acidfighters do their job and you do the next sets.
Bob Fritz, a famous American researcher states, “Lactic acid is the monster that
lives inside us all and only comes out when you lift hard or run fast. Kre-AlkalynR kicks
lactic acids butt. When lactic acid begins to build up, Kre-AlkalynR helps neutralize it.
Like the Calvary to the rescue, Kre-AlkalynR rushes to the muscle group that’s lifting
and disarms lactic acid.”
Like the famous antacid, called TUMS® (GlaxoSmithlkine), which neutralizes
acid in your stomach, Kre-AlkalynR neutralizes lactic acid in your muscles. The advan-tage of antacids is that they start neutralizing stomach as soon as they reach the stomach
Kre-AlkalynR’s patented buffer system immediately neutralizes the acid in the
stomach, protecting the buffered creatine from creatinine conversion. The acidity is
reduced and Kre-AlkalynR is ready for absorption. After entering the duodenum, bicar-
bonate ions are secreted to further alkalinize the Kre-AlkalynR for absorption into the
blood stream. What a powerful combination!
Acid-Base Physiology:
Basic acid-base physiology shows us the body has an internal buffering system
that protects us from normal acid production. The quantity of respiratory acids pro-
duced per day by non active humans is easily calculated. The average person produces
200 milliliters of carbon dioxide (respiratory acid) per minute, which equates to 288
liters per day. Since each gram molecule of gas occupies 22.4 liters, approximately 12
moles of CO2 (carbon dioxide) is produced daily. This is a very large quantity of acid,
but our body effectively matches this elimination through the lungs.
By contrast to CO2 production by non active humans, very little metabolic acidis produced. We have measured only about 0.1 moles (100 mEq) of acid per day. This
normal metabolic acid production is matched by the kidneys, which is able to process far
less then the quantities of the lungs.
The power of the lungs to excrete large quantities of CO2 enables them to com-
pensate rapidly for athletic performance. Unless the respiratory system is diseased or
damaged, the lungs can stimulate a rapid response even to severe acidosis from CO2, and
bring about equilibration within a few hours. Contrary to the lungs, the kidneys smaller
capacity to metabolize acid buildup is quite slow, sometimes taking a day or two forequilibrium to occur.
Research taken from the Swan & Pitts Experiments, gave us a good starting
point of experimenting on human subjects to determine what our body’s internal buffer-
ing system can handle. In the Swan & Pitts Experiments, dogs received an infusion of
14 mmols H+ per liter of body water. This caused a drop in pH from 7.44 ([H+]=36
nmoles/l) to a pH of 7.14 ([H+]=72 nmoles/l). That was a rise in [H+] of 36 nmoles/l.
Besides drinking creatinine (from the conversion of creatine to creatinine at a low pH),
just think about the results of drinking an acidic creatine supplement every day at a pH
of 3.5 to 4.5? What does this have to do with absorption? You guessed it, not a thing.
Laboratory Studies:

R mixed with water and added to stomacher at pH 3,
buffered stomach pH level to 9, keeping buffer creatine stable with ample time
for absorption, with no conversion to creatinine.
Conclusions:
Eighteen Name brand creatine products were activated and digested. All eighteenconverted 100% creatinine. Since there was no creatine left in these products, no creatine would
be absorbed into the blood stream, only creatinine.
Six Kre-Alkalyn lots were activated and digested with 0% conversion to creatinine. All
creatine remained intact and would be absorbed into the blood stream.
I. Metabolic Toxicity of Excess Creatinine In the presence of normal kidney function (and the absence of artificial ingestion), the
level of serum creatinine generated is closely monitored via a series of physiological regulators.
The normal amounts of the toxic waste creatinine are kept very low.But, when creatinine is ingested from the conversion of creatine to creatinine
(instantaneous conversion when activated with a fluid or ingested), concomitant metabolic
abnormalities can be observed in-vitro, and in-vivo in animals and in humans. This ingestion of pure creatinine is toxic to humans and animals.
Lis and Bijan (1970) observed a sedating or stupefying property of creatinine when it wasinjected into mice. Giovanetti (et al., 1969) demonstrated that injecting dogs with creatinine
could chronically intoxicate them. In addition to their observations of the animal’s aberrant
behavior, creatinine was also responsible for a significant decrease in the animal’s erythrocytesurvival time. The addition of creatinine to normal human blood initiated a significant increase
in spontaneous hemolysis. This same red cell lysing pattern was observed in normal humanvolunteers whom had ingested creatinine. Golini and Golini (2004) also observed a sedating
effect when creatinine was given orally to mice. Mice were unable to run on wheels and showed
the same stupefying property reported by Lis and Bijan (1970).Balestri’s research in 1970 gave us further evidence of this potential membrane-
associated molecular blockade by showing that creatinine was able to effectively inhibit glucose
utilization by erythrocytes.
II. Mutagenicity and Carcinogenicity of Creatinine
It has been postulated that exposure to dietary creatinine may play a very significant part
in the initiation of cancer (most probably bowel and bladder cancer) in man. (Doll and Peto,
1981; Felton, et al., 1994). Creatinine’s ability to cause chromosomal damage and mutations incultured cells has been confirmed, as has their carcinogenicity in mice and rats (Aeschbacher,1991) and in one instance, in monkeys (Adamson, et al., Felton et al. 1994)
III. Creatinine: Friend or Foe? Fact: 1) Creatinine- A waste product in the blood that results from the normal breakdown of
muscle. (Medline)
2) Creatinine- A component of urine and the final product of creatine catabolism;formed by the nonenzymatic dephosphorylative cyclization of phosyphocreatine to
form the internal anhydride of creatine. (PDR Medical Dictionary)
3) Creatinine- Creatinine (CRN) is a by-product of the creatine production. Theingested creatinine is waste for the body and is excreted by the kidney. (Degussa,Germany)
4) Creatinine is excreted by the kidneys. (Grey’s Anatomy & Physiology)
5) Normal Creatinine Clearance levels in healthy humans:
Men - .97 to 1.37 mg/dl (97-137 ml/min)Women - .88 to 1.28 mg/dl (88-128 ml/min)
(St. Vincent Healthcare, Department of Pathology, Billings, MT & American
Kidney Foundation)
6) Creatinine clearance levels above 1.37 mg/dl (for men) and 1.28 mg/ml (for women)is dangerous to healthy kidneys. (St. Vincent Healthcare, Department of Pathology,
7) Increased creatinine levels will damage kidneys
8) Damaged Kidneys are nonreversible.
Conclusion: Do you want to be ingesting gram levels of creatinine?
Answer: NO
I think by now it is very obvious that creatinine that is ingested from the conversion of
creatine-creatinine is toxic, dangerous and even life threatening.
Creatinine is thought to be the major cause (possible the sole cause) of renal failure.Studies (such as Rooney, et al., 2002) using animals and humans have reported renal damage
from the ingesting of creatinine. By taking creatine (that has converted to creatinine) these
healthy human volunteers were shown to have induced abnormalities in pancreatic insulinsecretion and changes in glucose homeostasis, resulting in renal failure.
Edmund’s (et al., 2001) studies, using a rat model of cystic kidney disease, reported thatwhen regular creatine monohydrate supplementation was given, larger and faster cyst growth and
exacerbation of disease progression was observed. This was due to the conversion of creatine to
creatinine.Various types of glomerulonephritis, diabetic glomerulosclerosis, and glomerular
amyloidosis in humans, a significant correlation exists between the severity of fibrosis of the
renal cortical interstitium and tubular atrophy resulting from chronic interstitial inflammationand serum creatinine concentrations (Bohle et al., 1986)
Today, more than 20 million people in the United States have some form of renal disease,and more than 350,000, the US alone, require regular dialysis in order to stay alive. Renal
failure with the exception of toxic drug over dose or injury related acute failure) is a stepwisedeterioration process that is cumulative. This means is shows up gradually, and only after a
substantial percentage of the organ has suffered damage. This stepwise progression stems frommore than one primary ‘insult’ to a specific facet of the organ’s filtration system. Creatinine
poising, un-stable creatine, & residual manufacturing contaminants in creatine play a big part in
this failure. (Benzi 2001: and 2000)
So, contrary to what some Doctors and PhDs think, creatinine is dangerous!
The purpose of this study is to show that Kre-AlkalynR (US Patent #6,399,661) increases
endurance in human beings.
Kre-AlkalynR is manufactured by All American Pharmaceutical & Natural Foods Corporation &
comes in powder, liquid, capsules, softgels and tablets. Capsules were used for this study do tothe convenience for administration and exact doses being administered.
The reason for the study is to prove weather Kre-Alkalyn
R
increases endurance in athletes.
Kre-AlkalynR (US Patent #6,399,661) is buffered creatine, that is completely stable.
Due to the complexity and many functions of the chemical, a direct case study approachwas taken. Since the product is Patented, there was no need to prove what was already knownand was not important to do a double blind test. Instead, we wanted to find out how effective
Kre-AlkalynR was for increasing endurance with out any changes to diet, workout programs or
activity levels.
Test Group 1 Group 1 was composed of professional male football players who are currently involved
in a heavy workout schedule (pre-season), with all being season veterans to this beginning part of
the season. Their position were wide receivers and defense of backs The body weight for thisgroup at the beginning of camp was as follows:
Subject D: 195 lbsGroup 1 started and finished with Two 750 mg capsules of Kre-Alkalyn
R , which were
administered in the A.M. This went on 7 days a week for 6 weeks. Body fat, body weight,strength, endurance & stamina were measured before starting Kre-Alkalyn
R . Any aches and
pains were also noted.
Test Group 2 Group 2 was composed of professional male football players who are currently involved
in a heavy workout schedule (pre-season), with all being season veterans to this beginning part ofthe season. Their positions were running back and linebacker. The body weight for this group atthe beginning of camp was as follows:
Subject E: 225 lbs
Subject F: 227 lbsSubject G: 235 lbs
Subject H: 237 lbsGroup 2 started and finished with Two 750 mg capsules of Kre-Alkalyn
R , which were
administered in the A.M. This went on 7 days a week for 6 weeks. Body fat, body weight,strength, endurance & stamina were measured before starting Kre-Alkalyn
R . Any aches and
pains were also noted.
Test Group 3 Group 3 was composed of professional male football players who are currently involved in a
heavy workout schedule (pre-season), with all being season veterans to this beginning part of theseason. Their positions were offence of line and defense of line. The body weight for this groupat the beginning of camp was as follows:
Subject E: 315 lbsSubject F: 330 lbs
Subject G: 340 lbsSubject H: 380 lbs
Group 3 started with Two 750 mg capsules of Kre-AlkalynR
, for the first week,increasing to four 750 mg capsules at week 2 and remaining on that amount. Capsules were
administered in the A.M. This went on 7 days a week for 6 weeks. Body fat, body weight,strength, endurance & stamina were measured before starting Kre-Alkalyn
After a full 6 weeks of testing, the following were the results reported:
Test Group 1
Over all energy levels seemed to have increased, with a total body fat % being lowered by 1 %.All reported increased endurance levels through out the two a day (times 3 hour) practices.Recuperation between practices increased along with strength levels. Group 1 out performed,
out endured and out played other athletes of the same position through out the 6 week period.
Test Group 2
Over all energy levels seemed to have increased, with a total body fat % being lowered by 2 %.
All reported increased endurance levels through out the two a day (times 3 hour) practices.
Recuperation between practices increased along with strength levels. Group 1 out performed,
out endured and out played other athletes of the same position through out the 6 week period.
Test Group 3
Over all energy levels seemed to have increased, with a total body fat % being lowered by 3.5 %.All reported increased endurance levels through out the two a day (times 3 hour) practices.
Recuperation between practices increased along with strength levels. Group 1 out performed,
out endured and out played other athletes of the same position through out the 6 week period.
All three groups reported less aches and pains then they other athletes on the team. Each subject
reported feeling better, had more energy, more endurance, more stamina that ever in the past.
From the testing and research done with the product Kre-Alkalyn, we so conclude that this product is very effective for increasing endurance and stamina, while eliminating fatigue due tolactic acid build up.
These 12 subjects are professional athletes who were into pre-season training and are very intuned with their bodies. All athletes are continuing on the program along with the rest of theteam for later evaluation as the season progresses.
In finial summary conclusion, this laboratory has found Kre-Alkalyn to be a very safe andeffective was to increase endurance. It also is this laboratories conclusion that Kre-Alkalyncould be effective for weight loss and joint pain.

Study: Rat Study with Kre-AlkalynR US Patent 6,399,661 (Buffered
Creatine)
Purpose of Study: To measure Energy Levels & Muscle Gain in rats, with test and
control animals
Procedures:
White male albino rats where used for this study. A control group was used along with atest group. Upon arrival to the lab both groups entered Phase I, stabilization.
Stabilization started with changing their diet to a more conventional food source. GoodProtein and Carb levels, low fat. Each rat was weighed at the start and each Monday for
six weeks. Rats were randomly selected for test group and control group.
Rats were observed for energy levels daily. Energy levels were measured by amount of
chewing, maze work & cage activity that occurred.
Rats were placed in a large 10-gallon glass cages that aloud movement and building ofnests. Chew items were also put in the cages to help measure night activity.
Kre-Alkalyn Administration: Based on human studies, 1.5 grams per 100 kg of bodyweight was used. This worked out to 15 mcg/gram of rat starting weight.
The Start:
Both rats weighed in at 250 grams. Activity and Energy levels were extremely low. Neither rats would work a maze. During stabilization, both control rat and test rat sleep
Control Rat Weight Gain: Although the control rat gained 133.6 grams, he was very round
and soft.
Test Rat Weight Gain: Kre-AlkalynR rat gained 158.4 grams or 63.12 % increase in lean
muscle in 6 weeks. He gained 10% more than control rat. Kre-Alkalyn
R rat was solid with no roundness or flabbiness like the
control rat.
Control Rat Energy: Control rat was not active at all during the day. He slept in his
nest. The nest was a mess and un-organized. Chew toys were nottouched. Rat did not even come out for feeding. The only
evidence of night activity was food eaten. Control rat had noenergy or motivation to work a maze.
Test Rat Energy Control rat was out of his nest each morning and most of the timeduring the day. His next was clean and very organized. Control
rat went through 3 chew toys during the 6 week testing, along withchewing at the top of the cage which was only accessible whenwater bottle was climbed, which he did often during the day. Test
rat was extremely motivated and energized to work a maze. Hisenergy levels were extremely high for a rat.
Conclusion: Not only did the test rat gain 63.12% lean muscle, but his energy
levels was increased 100% over the control rat and 100% from thestabilization week.
Kre-AlkalynR (Buffered Creatine) increased lean muscle mass by
63.12% after 6 weeks, and energy levels increased by 100%.
