If you get BLOATING from CREATINE try this: 1) Mix your creatine into more water. Creatine monohydrate solubility in room temp water is only 14g/L. If you are using 5g, you'll need at least 300ml (10.2 oz) of water. 2) Use warm water to dissolve the creatine. Creatine monohydrate solubility in 50C (122F) water is 34g/L. 5g will dissolve in 150ml ( 5.1 ounces) water at this temp. 3) Make sure your creatine monohydrate is micronized for improved solubility.
