Creatine - Mixing in warm water
It helps to dissolve the creatine if I use warm water. Is this ok? Does it affect the creatine or make it lose potency somehow?

Warm/cold I don't think it matters that much.
It all goes flows down the pipe

Not sure how warm you are making it, but I have heard HOT water breaks down creatine into creatinine (useless waste material). Don't make that water too warm.

Yeah but your body is closer to room temp than cold ass water right? Wouldn't it make sense that it would be absorbed better?Originally posted by Randy

Chuck Norris once lost his keys and couldn't remember where he put them. So he tortured himself for half an hour until he gave up their location.

Again If scientists tested the absorbtion rate between drinking creatine in cold water (Not glacier cold, but cool) and room temperature to warm water... I doubt there would be much of a difference. I myself prefer to drink it at room temperature though too.
Studies have shown Creatine absorbtion is increased when consumed with a high glycemic index carb which raises insulin levels. Some Creatine is packaged as a transport system combining Creatin with insulin spikers. Creatine is still effective alone if you want to avoid all the carbs!

In regards to the temp. of the water, does anyone know if it affects the creatine itself? I'm curious if it loses any potency or effectiveness because of temperature. For example, vitamin C is affected by heat. Maybe I'm thinking about it too much...

I would be interested to know that as well. But I don't believe that creatine loses its potency in a drinkable hot or cold water.
Maybe if you boil it to an extreme or freeze it to an extreme it may, but other than that I don't think there would be a problem.
Now as far as the person who pointed out they heard it converted to creatininie when heated... (That would be my concern), but again I doubt that is true. If it was it would again probably have to be heated to an extreme temperature. Sometimes I put my creatine in my coffee. I wouldn't think that would cause any harmful effects. But if anyone has any factual evidence....bring it on, I would love to hear it.
