Does protien become useless like creatine if not consumed straight away?

Q: In looking up what creatine product could best be adapted into my trainin, i discovered that the powered creatine is not effective unless consumed straight away after it has been mixed.i was jus wondering if this is the same with my protein shakes as i mix them in the morning an bring them to work so they can be consumed throughout the day. could anybody with genuine knowledge help a man out. your time would be greatly appreciated.

A: I did a bit of research into proteins before I started taking them. There is a lot to absorb (pun intended) when it comes to learning about them and there is a lot of hype about the various protein powders out there – especially whey protein. This is pretty much what I found to be consistent:Proteins are absorbed quickly into your system – anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes depending on who is answering – but they all agree on this. Creatine is supposed to slow that absorption dramatically. They also tend to begin to break down very quickly once added to liquid. Generally what I found is that after about 8 hours they are pretty much broken down in the liquid. So yes, drinking them as soon after mixing provides greater benefits. But, from what I’ve read, I’d say 2 hours is okay and 4 hours is the max you should let them sit after mixing.As a side note, most of what I’ve read about creatine suggests it should be taken at night with your protein drink. During the day, it should be avoided as what you should be shooting for is the quick absorption into the system so your body can make maximum utilization of the protein. At night, you want the slow absorption so your body has a controlled supply to use for the repair of muscles and other tissues while you sleep.On a personal note, I found taking a protein drink before bed actually made it harder for me to fall into a nice, restful sleep which is just as if not more important than the protein. Some yogurt as a snack, on the other hand, did not have the same effect and still provides a nice dose of proteins and other healthy substances. But that’s just me. It could affect you differently.Hope that helps.
