While creatine is known for its stability in powder form, with some types lasting for years, its chemical behavior changes significantly once dissolved in liquid. In a process called intramolecular cyclization, dissolved creatine slowly converts into an ineffective waste product known as creatinine. This gradual degradation is influenced by several factors, including temperature and the liquid's acidity.

According to research from supplement companies, pre-mixed supplements containing protein can degrade within 1-2 days, and even standard hydration mixes should be consumed within two weeks. Given this, many wonder if refrigerating mixed pre-workout is a viable option for preparation and storage.
