A note before you start.

Unlike regular or micronized creatine — which never fully dissolve — Arq8 FullDissolve™ Nano-Creatine is engineered to dissolve completely.

That said, thicker liquids, colder temperatures, or less agitation may leave slight residue. This is normal. It does not affect quality or potency. More liquid always helps: creatine has a physical solubility limit of ~13–14 g per liter, so more water means faster, cleaner dissolution.

SLEEP DEPRIVATION PROTOCOL

ACUTE COGNITIVE PROTECTION

0.2 g / kg body weight · single dose

Per Gordji-Nejad et al. (2024): a single dose of 0.2 g/kg creatine is associated with reduced deterioration in cognitive performance during sleep deprivation. One acute dose taken before the sleep-deprived period. FullDissolve™ nano-particle form improves GI tolerability at high single doses versus standard creatine.

Example dose

15 g (75 kg / 165 lb)

Water needed

1.1–1.8 L

Timing

Before sleep-deprived period
Note for women. The study found these effects to be more prevalent in females — making this protocol particularly relevant for women anticipating significant sleep reduction.

Short-term use only. GI sensitivity is possible at high single doses — take with plenty of water and food if needed. Consult a healthcare professional before use.

WATER TEMPERATURE

25 – 40°C

OPTIMAL

25 – 40°C

Room temperature or slightly warm. Best solubility and fastest full dissolution.

4 – 15°C

○ WORKS FINE

4 – 15°C

Cold or refrigerated. Stir a few seconds longer. Dissolves fully — just takes a little more agitation.

25 – 40°C

○ ACCEPTABLE

15 – 25°C

Cool room temperature. Dissolves well with normal agitation.

60 °C

AVOID

Above 60°C

Boiling or near-boiling water risks degradation of creatine. Not recommended.

HOW TO MIX — 3 STEPS

1

Add at least 350 ml of water — or up to 500 ml for best dissolution. More liquid always helps.

2

Add one scoop (5 g) of Arq8 FullDissolve™ powder. No need to pre-mix or warm the liquid.

3

Stir, shake, or swirl for 5–10 seconds.
The powder dissolves fully clear — no residue, no cloudiness, no chalky mouthfeel.

Drink promptly — within 20–30 minutes of mixing. Creatine in solution can slowly degrade, especially in acidic liquids like juice.

◎

More water = better results. Creatine relies on adequate hydration for effective muscle tissue saturation and utilization. Drinking an additional 1.5–2 L throughout the day supports absorption and minimizes any possibility of cramping — especially on training days.
