Also, if your mixing pure monohydrate with water it really isnt doing you any good. creatine mono needs a glucose (sugar) transporter to get it into your muscles to do its work. Thats why they say to mix it with some sort of juice.

my advice would be to return it, and pick up some cee. this type of creatine needs no transporter, and can be taken w/o the added carbs.
