Is it ok to dissolve creatine in hot water?

[jdbaker82]

I recently started taking my daily 5-10g of creatine mono with a cup hot green tea it dissolved almost instantly and I want to make sure the creatine is not losing its effectivness this way?

Thanks in advance!

Actually..... it's better this way. The ideal way to drink creatine is to put it in boiling water, allow it to dissolve and then slowly add cold water to be able to drink it. I suggest only doing this per serving though because after about 3 days, broken down liquid creatine is useless.

Ok awesome! I actually drink it right away and yeah its nearly boiling when I dissolve it.. basically it bubbles up and disappears within 5 seconds lol
