I bought my first bottles of Creatine and Protein today. I was just wondering how long they will stay in my body. If I take them the morning before I work out ( around 7:00 AM), it wont be untill 5 1/2 hours later that I can actually start lifting ( About 12:30 PM). I could leave them in the car, but it gets pretty hot in there and I don't want to destroy the protein or denature them in any way. I don't know if it actualy gets hot enough to damage the sups or not, but I want to be safe anyway. What should I do?

As for protein, it depends on which protein you consume. If it is whey, it will be assimiliated between 60-90 minutes. If it is casein, it will be assimilated by 6-8 hours. These are very general guidelines. Contributing factors such as fiber, fat, individual digestive rate and efficiency, etc. may alter the guidelines. Leaving your powder protein in the presence of any heat is not a good idea. If you need to take it with you, just use a separate smaller container where you can take a day's worth. That way you can keep it with you and not worry about leaving it in a hot car.Last edited by Magnetic; 09-20-2005 at 04:00 PM.
