Expired Creatine: Good or Shyte?

[Mavy]

Eh guys,

I was cleaning out my closet the other day and stumbled upon a tub of micronized creatine. Needless to say it was a nice surprise to find instead of moldy underwear, lol, but it expried on Jan. 2004.

Do you think its still good to take? It was stored in a cool dry place, like it says to do on the label? Is the quality somehow denatured over time? Any thoughts, cause it will bring a tear to my to chuck the shit in the garbage.

10 months expired. As they say "Pitch it" If it were that expensive , it wouldn't have sat in your closet for a year...

lol .. ya it wasnt that expensive, i just hate to toss it. So what is it actually ineffective now? or bad, denatured or what? I dont want to pitch it just cause the expiry label says to, even if its not bad.

I haven't experimented with the creatine ethyl ester hci. It may be worth it to drop creatine monohydrate for a more effective product.

To be honest. I've gotten just as much energy from taking r-ala from anafit then I've gotten from any creatine.

Do you really want to find out, Mavy? Try it and tell us how your stomach feels. lol

Actually I am taking some Mass Action from Met-rx that is expired and I think that it's working, in my experience in pharmacy if it's sealed and stored like you said, I think it'd definately be good for at least year after exp date.

lol .. well, actually I took some today after training. Gut feels fine so far. But ... i have guts of steel. Takes a lot for me to get sick or even an upset stomach. I will see how it goes for a few days.

Check to see if it has lumped up together. Creatine turns to creatinine which from what I have read is worthless. I would go ahead and chunk it. I dont think your wallet is taking that big of a hit bro. It would suck to take it if it was worthless.

 

[small but working on it]

how about this. Stop taking it and go straight to GNC and use your card if you have one and buy some new creatine and keep the receipt. Empty the old creatine into the new jug and take it back next week. Tell them it upset your stomach or whatever and they will refund you the cash with your receipt. That way there is no ? as to the effectiveness or worth of the creatine in question.


K always welcome!!!

lmfao ... you have done something like this before havent you! hahha. Its brilliant. however I think that I am going to ditch it, and not buy any right now. It is kinda clumped together like jayy mentioned. I dont need it that bad, just thouhgt that I would run it since it was there. lol\

Thanks guys, ... consider it chucked!
