Outdated, unopened creatine 09/05.

[BG100]

I have a 5 lb can of Precision engineered High Performance Creatine. It still has the seal but a date of 09/05.

I am really tight on funds right now and hate to see it wasted. What do you think?

Take it. Worst case scenario, you get sick and die.

=P Kidding. I wouldn't take it if I were you...I doubt it would be very effective.

why not? maybe just double the dosage

Its probably fine. I had some old creatine that wasn't sealed, but it still appeared the same and was tasteless after 1-2 years. Provided it was stored in a cool, dry place I wouldn't worry too much.

Unless the type of creatine was a citrate based creatine then there would be no taste as creatine doesn't have a taste so using taste as a sign of 'safety' is useless. If it was a monohydrate then it would contain water at levels of 12% or higher depending on the purity so it will degrade over time and have higher levels of creatinine (note different spelling) as a result. After two years, even if it was sealed, you are best to throw it out.

try it...worse thing that can happen is you get a stomach ache and no extra gains...that would make it just like the other 75% of supplements
