Creatine Losing Potency in Water?

[MilkMoustache]

Im loading creatine.
Cant be assed smashing teaspoons like 4 times a day.

I was thinking, can i measure up and just have a premix of creatine and juice, or cordial on hand and just suck back on the bottle 4 times daily?

Will the creatine be fine if i leave it in there and just give it a shake up when i want to drink some?

Cheers buds...

Yes, creatine supposedly degrades in water, so premixing it is probably a bad idea. At least that's what I've been told for the last 15 years.

creatine breaks down quickly in water/fluid. so i would consume within 15-30 mins of mixing. right after mixing is best m8

Agreed.

20mins max I would say. - I sip my Anadraulic State GT within about 5mins of mixing it up. Sometimes I toss in bulk MCC in a drink with BC+EAAs and sip that through my workout though. I don't think MCC breaks down as easily, although I could be wrong.

it get's overstated quite a bit,in studies it is actually hrs not minutes you have.

with that being said,the quicker you drink it the better.

True.
Apparently Glycerine(Glycerol?) can keep the creatine from breaking down in liquid.
