Should creatine(mono) be mixed hot or cold for optimal uptake? Heard recently that when mixed with warm water was optimal, but on most packaging it says to mix with water or fruit juice.

Some people benefit from mixing it in warm liquid because this helps it dissolve and minimizes gastric distress.
If you don’t experience any problems using creatine, I wouldn’t worry about it.
thanks for the reply, i dont have any problems taking it cold, but in terms of absorbtion do you stand to gain mixing it in warm fluid.
Creatine absorption isn’t a limiting factor for most people, so it’s not worth going through the hassle of using warm liquid unless you prefer the taste.
