Patented buffered creatine for strength, power and performance
O2B Kre-Alkalyn® features a patented, pH-buffered form of creatine, supplied in convenient capsules to support muscle energy production, physical strength and high-intensity exercise performance.
Creatine is one of the most extensively researched ingredients in sports nutrition, valued for its role in helping the body rapidly regenerate ATP — the molecule that provides immediate energy for muscle contraction.
Providing 1,500 mg of Kre-Alkalyn® per stated serving, this specialised formulation offers a convenient alternative to traditional creatine powders.
Creatine: supporting the body's rapid energy system
Creatine is a naturally occurring compound produced primarily by the liver and kidneys from amino acids. It is also obtained from foods such as meat and fish.
Approximately 95% of the body's creatine is stored in skeletal muscle, where much of it exists as phosphocreatine.
During short bursts of intense activity, muscles use ATP to generate the energy needed for contraction. Because stored ATP is limited, the body must continually replenish it.
Phosphocreatine helps rapidly regenerate ATP, supporting repeated muscle contractions during activities such as lifting weights, sprinting, climbing stairs and other demanding movements.
How creatine helps regenerate ATP
When muscles contract, ATP releases energy and is converted into ADP.
Phosphocreatine acts as a readily available reserve of high-energy phosphate, allowing the enzyme creatine kinase to rapidly convert ADP back into ATP.
This system is particularly important during short-duration, high-intensity activity, when energy demand increases faster than longer-term energy pathways can respond.
By supporting muscle creatine and phosphocreatine stores, creatine supplementation can improve the capacity for repeated high-intensity exercise.
Kre-Alkalyn®: a patented pH-buffered formulation
Kre-Alkalyn® is a patented form of buffered creatine developed with the aim of maintaining creatine stability through a controlled alkaline formulation.
Unlike conventional creatine monohydrate powder, Kre-Alkalyn® incorporates buffering technology as a distinctive feature of its formulation.
O2B encapsulates Kre-Alkalyn®, providing a measured serving without the need for scooping, mixing or dissolving powder.
While the patented buffering process differentiates the product, creatine's fundamental benefits come from increasing the availability of creatine within the body's energy systems.
Strength, power and high-intensity performance
Creatine supplementation is particularly well researched for activities requiring repeated bursts of muscular effort.
By supporting the phosphocreatine energy system, creatine can help improve performance during resistance training, sprinting and other high-intensity activities.
When combined with progressive strength training, creatine supplementation can also support improvements in muscle strength and lean body mass over time.
These benefits make creatine relevant to athletes, recreational exercisers and anyone undertaking regular resistance-based activity.
Muscle maintenance and healthy ageing
Maintaining muscle mass and strength becomes increasingly important with age.
Muscle supports balance, mobility, metabolic health and the ability to perform everyday activities independently.
Research suggests that creatine supplementation, particularly when combined with resistance exercise, can support improvements in muscle strength and physical function in older adults.
This makes creatine an interesting nutritional option not only for sports performance, but also as part of a broader approach to maintaining healthy muscles throughout life.
Creatine and the brain's energy requirements
Although most creatine is stored in skeletal muscle, smaller amounts are found in the brain and other tissues with substantial energy requirements.
The creatine–phosphocreatine system contributes to cellular energy buffering in these tissues, helping maintain ATP availability when energy demand changes.
Researchers are investigating creatine supplementation in relation to cognitive performance, sleep deprivation and brain energy metabolism.
These emerging areas of research highlight creatine's broader physiological importance, although evidence for cognitive benefits is less established than its effects on high-intensity exercise.
Convenient daily creatine supplementation
O2B Kre-Alkalyn® provides a patented buffered creatine formulation in an easy-to-use capsule format.
It's a practical option for people wanting to support muscle energy production, strength and high-intensity performance without using a traditional creatine powder.
Whether you're training for sport, building strength or working to maintain healthy muscle function as you age, O2B Kre-Alkalyn® offers targeted support for the body's rapid energy system.
