Will creatine work if sprinkled on food?

Answer 1

It may, but it's not likely. In the first place, creatine does not work for everyone. In the second place, it is not easy for the body to absorb creatine supplements. Manufacturers have had to try a number of different ways to increase absorption. Remember: it's not what you put in your mouth that counts, it is what your body absorbs. Therefore, the best way to supplement with creatine is to follow the manufacturer's directions. The effectiveness of ordinary creatine is hampered by the fact that it does not dissolve well in water. Some manufacturers have buffered it to make it more water-soluble. Only the amount of supplemental creatine that is water-soluble is able to do you any good. So sprinkling it on food is unlikely to work. Bottom line: it's best to mix it with water as the manufacturer recommend
