Do powedered drinks lose potency over time after they are made?

[rqtball]

I just started taking xtend as part of my racquetball training this week...I was told BCAA's are a must to take.

If I make 4 or 5 of them the night before and put them in water bottles with water and put in fridge....will they lose potency over night?

Right now I make one an hour before I head to the gym to do drills but mornings are nuts with getting 2 kids ready for school.

Also same question for powdered creatine......does it have to be made then taken right away?

Thanks!

some supplements do, for example NADH degrades and unless in a fridge will hardly add to anything.

Do you know if XTEND and Creatine can be made beforehand?

Thanks!

yes those are fine I sip on BCAAs throughout the whole day mainly leucine.

I'm pretty sure creatine degrades after about 10 minutes in a solution ie grape juice. The BCAA's should be fine though

Yeah BCAA's are fine to mix and leave in the fridge. I would take the creatine after your workout not before. Drink it right away.

Lulz on the broscience. Yes, creatine breaks down in solution, but not after ten minutes. It's amazing how some companies have these intraworkout drinks that contain creatine that you somehow manage to obtain the effects of creatine from...
