Haha reminds me of mike myers as the jewish woman host on snl. Anyways, it really matters. Is it clumpy or still a fine powder?

[4STRINGS]

its a little clumpy but it was stored in the recommended habitat. But it didnt turn yellow as i have read expired creatine turns.

So...

I wouldnt take it you should just buy some more.

whats the xpiration date?

[4STRINGS]

Im not exaclty sure of the expiration date because i replaced it into another container but it wasnt expired too long ago.

Say i took it, what would happen? Any side effects?

[arbit]

If it was not too long ago, then u shood be fine.
Eg, say I buy something now and its epiration date is a year from now. I wood consume it till 1.5 years from now. I wood not consume it 2 years from now.

thanks arbit, imma go for it

yea. I have some whey protien that expired at the beginning of march, its starting to taste a little funny but I don't wanna waste it

[4STRINGS]

guys one more thing, i dont wanna be a pain

so what if i take it? what kind of side effects can i expect?

[JBinKC]

Nothing at all especially if the creatine looks like it should (a white powder). I am using expired creatine at the moment and had not suffered any ill effects.

What will happen if u take craetine or protein power 10 years from its expiry date? Or very very old oil? I dont think bacteria is a problem. It may taste like crap, but nay negative effecst?

My guess is that newly expired creatine (i.e. 6 mos to 1 yr) would simply be less effective. I wouldn't imagine there would be any serious reprecussion.
