Re: Creatine question --PS on water temp

[Guest guest]

Just saw this note about creatine degradation in water:

http://www.nutrabio.com/creatine.htm

Is Creatine stable in water?

Contrary to what many companies will tell you, Creatine is not

stable in aqueous solution due to a degradation into Creatinine. The

speed of degradation is:

--dependant on the pH (the lower the pH the faster the degradation)

--dependant on the temperature (the higher the temperature the

faster the degradation).

Thanks Barbara. I guess I will continue taking it in very cold water.
