any one know if creatine in hot water will affect the creatine? any evidence either way.

looking for that thread where the professor from nottingham was answering questions... if anyone can provide the link that would be great.

thanks

If I remember rightly some of the original modern research put the creatine in tea or coffee.

I often add it to a warm drink I think it will be better absorbed as it is better dissolved.

I put it in my cold shake (with milk). But am led to believe warm water was better as it dissolves easier as per Nytol. Ive recently changed from CEE to Creapure and I can tell in my shake as it can a gritty texture.

Still not sure if Id be better off taking on its own.

Mixing creatine in water will accelerate the conversion into creatinine, heat can be applied as a catalyst to any chemical reaction to initiate or accelerate the reaction.

Creatine should not dissolve well in water, hot or cold.

Not completely it shouldn't.

I just push a spoonful into my face and drink some liquid to wash it down, takes 5 secs

I don't know about creatine, but can't hot water or oatmeal effect protein in powder?

I think I read somewhere that in a recipe that mixed protein in oatmeal, if the oatmeal was too hot then it would pretty much kill the protein. They suggest mixing frozen blueberries to quickly cool it before mixing the protein...

hot water killing protein - rubbish.

I read it in some muscle magazine. I'll try to find the article sometime and read it again.

Doesn't dissolve totally in any liquid.
