Quick creatine monohydrate question

[cyberMatt]

With how much water should i take a dose of creatine. I mean, how much is enough for creatine to melt. Is 1dl (3.381 oz) enough or it isn't important at all?

Creatine doesn't dissolve in water you can take it in as much water as you like
I use 6 oz

Doesn't matter. Enough to wash it down. You should be drinking about a gallon of water a day anyway..

Why do you think creatine would melt in water? Do you mean dissolve?

Creatine doesn't really dissolve in water (as in it is not very soluble unless at higher temperatures which would change the Creatine to a different molecule).

Just mix it, drink it an drink alot of water

Take it with a fruit juice the fructose helps with transport...and the sand taste

If you use quality creapure intead of that Chinese junk your creatine will dissolve in water. Do I need to post those videos by Will Brink?

Good call! Gotta go Creapure for creatine monohydrate. Purest creatine mono on the market.

Of course it does:



Just about every creatine Q (stability, cycling, "bloating" etc, etc) covered:

I'm curious what your take is on creatine in capsules?

Not the most efficient or cost effective way of using CM for athletic uses as you need 3-5g. Probably fine for those using low doses for the possible health/cognitive effects using lower doses in the 500mg range.

Woow thanks Will i didn't know that. I guess it should be good to mix it with tea then, right?

I saw a post here saying creatine will dissolve better in warm water. Give it a shot.

I scoop and swallow it down with a glass of water
