How long is creatine good for once it is mixed?. The reason I ask is that I mix up one scoop to 32oz of water and this is what I sip on during my workout.(My workout last between 45 to 60 min). Am I exceeding the life?

I would not mix creatine till ready to consume it. It is very unstable in liquid, and turns to a waste product creatinine in a relatively short period of time. I would consume my creatine in this manner, 5 gr. immediately before training, and 5 gr. immediately after training mixed with your glutamine/protein combo.

BB1 is correct. Since the creatine molecule is so unstable, in less than 10 minutes (in a normal environment) after being introduced to water, it breaks down into creatinine.
