is it better to take creatine with warm water or cold water. My friend told me warm works best.

Assuming you're talkinga about straight creatine monohydrate powder, you need to take it with apple or grape juice. Most folks suggeest grape juice. For creatine to be effective your body needs and insulin spike.

You can also take it with your protein drink. Some tests have shown that protein drinks with a fair amount of carbs can deliver creatine just as well as with grape juice...and without the added sugar!

This is off topic sort of but as for the insulin spike - I added a little gatorade lemon-lime powder to my vanilla protein powder and creatine shake. I was pleasantly surpised. that thing tasted like a cheese cake milk shake.
