Not with just straight protein, however some post workout shakes(weight gainer shakes) contain creatine and should be mixed and consumed in a short period. I usually just stick with the recommendations on the container.

Thanks. Does the same apply to protein as well.

Well I'm a goofball!

Haste Makes Waste - Remember that creatine is NOT stable in liquids - Drink it immediately after you mix it. The longer you let it sit, the less effective it becomes (the creatine converts to creatinine).

Make your shake when you need it. Creatine usually doesn't do well after a fairly short period of time in solution.

Will any creatine loose its capacity if I prepare and drink it after few hours.
