    When I take mono I usually just dump the 1 teaspoon of it right in my mouth dry then suck back some juice to take it down. Not sure if this is the best way but atleast I know I am not leaving half of it in the glass. It has no taste in your mouth, atleast I havent really noticed any.

    Effervescent Creatine

    Effervescent creatine dissolves within seconds.It's dextrose levels are specifically meant to spike the creatine into your system.When you mix it it has an alcaseltzer(hope I spelled that right)effect.I use both regular powder form @ when I really need it effervescent form.Hope this helps.

    I've never had a creatine monohydrate that completely mixed with water, always some grainy leftovers in the bottom of the glass. I just keep adding water till it's all gone. The extra H2O with the creatine won't hurt a thing.
