Creatine not dissolving 100%

Hey all, I thought I'd try some creatine from atlargenutrition.com (creatine 500). I mix it with some juice or sports drink but I noticed that it doesn't dissolve 100%. When I look at the cup/glass from the bottom, I can still see a ton of creatine crystals. I was wondering if this was a problem? I tried stirring it for like 3 minutes straight and it still didn't fully dissolve!
 
Maybe its crap quality I mix mine with gatorade and it pretty much all disolves. There is some sandy stuff in the bottom sometimes but I just scoop it out with my finger and eat it.
 
realworksuks explains how to take creatine:

1. scoop your desired serving size.
2. fill a glass with your desired beverage.
3. quickly put the creatine into your mouth and then immediately after wash it down with your drink.

this way you get all the creatine in your system other than at the bottom of your glass.... PLUS it doesn't ruin a drink for you.

Fin.
 
even micronized creatine just doesn't dissolve well. best bet...Stir the crap out of it, then slam it before it can fall out of suspension. less grit noticed that way.

hahaha same here, swirl and chug. If i notice any remnants at the bottom of the cup, I just fill the glass up again with water and drink it. That seems to do the trick.
 
It does dissolve!

You need to disolve it in warm or hot water, e.g. in Tea or Coffee (don't try say that coffee has a negative effect cause it really doesnt) or even just straight warm water should do the trick.
Easiest way to take it is just spooning it the chasing with your drink though sometimes.
Liquid creatine is also another option, but be carefull when buying it as creatine isn't as effective if it has been in a liquid to long.
