Tag: Heat and creatine

Despite persistent rumors, creatine is a remarkably stable compound when in its dry, powdered form. This stability is often misunderstood when it comes to mixing with beverages. So, **can you put creatine in hot stuff** without losing its potency? The science confirms it's possible, but the method and timing matter.

While some myths suggest heat destroys it, the molecular stability of creatine monohydrate means it holds up well under most typical cooking conditions. The key question isn't whether heat affects it, but how specific cooking methods and temperatures impact its conversion to the less useful byproduct, creatinine.
