does it dissolve in water well? i read some reviews saying it doesnt

Nope. I started using this a month ago - and it doesnt dissolve at all - be prepared for a chalky, grainy consistency and to repeatedly shake your juice/ protein shake while taking this. Always take your creatine with a carbohydrate for optimal absorption.

use warm or hot water, see this video demonstration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqY_JtJazyw

No but that's really a moot point. I mix it in with my protein shake and do not detect it. It has no flavor really either. You can even put it in water and it will sink to the bottom, but you just swirl it around then take drink, and add a bit more water if some is still in the empty cup.

Creatine monohydrate never dissolves in water, no matter which brand you buy. The idea is to mix well and drink while the powder is suspended in the beverage. If you mix it into food or a thicker beverage such as a protein shake, you'll have better results, as the powder will stay suspended longer before falling to the bottom.

I don't dilute it. I don't think it's made to be diluted with water. It's great stuff I really like it.

No, I just put it into slightly warm water and it dissolves easily. But it doesn't effervese.

I can't say for sure that it will dissolve well in plain yogurt. I never used it that way. I always use it for a smoothie which I mix in a blender. It tastes great though.

It dissolves in your mouth. The taste is a pleasant sweet flavor. My son, who has sensory issues, doesn't mind it at all and he is very particular.

I have found that if I dissolve this in warm/luke warm distill water it will dissolve much better.

Yes it does but it is very difficult to dissolve in water. I will go back to liquid next time.

Yes, it's a super fine water-soluble powder and seems to dissolve really easily. Hope that helps!

It doesn't instantly dissolve. Try a mortal and pestle or coffee grinder. Small electric chopper might work also.

I haven't tried dissolving in plain water but dissolves well in baking mixtures. I can try tonight and let you know.

It all eventually dissolves with water, however its probably best to check what the tub/spa manufacturer says about using bath salts.

I've found that when I use it in my shaker cup it mostly dissolves. Sometimes I will get bits that aren't completely dissolved but it's not too often. And it's not like it's a mouth full of powder either.

It does dissolve, but not in cold cold water... the after taste is an orange tang like after taste

I wouldn't say it mixes well in water ... I usually put it in a water bottle and shake it. Then I leave it for a while and then shake again. It seems to take a while for the powder to dissolve, with room temp water vs straight from frig it dissolves faster. I'm assuming it's the same with all liquids, tho I've never tried it in anything but water. I have put it in yogurt before and that seems to work as well.

I use warm distilled water/oil/or other liquid and haven't had any problem getting it to dissolve. I hope this helps.

I've never really been able to dissolve creatine. I just shake it every time I take a swig so it doesn't accumulate at the bottom. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I haven't had good luck mixing it with cold water. It doesn't seem to dissolve properly. I mix half the water (hot)called for with the needed powder, mix until dissolved then add ice cubes. If more cold water is needed to get to necessary amount I add it.
