does creatine go off?

[bowlie]

I bought a small ish tub about 2 years ago, but because I stopped training as hard I stopped using it ages ago. Now im getting ready to train again and im wondering if I should throw out the old stuff or get more? I Think its just bog standard creatine, not any fancy thing wit pre workout supps added in

[Im so Moldy]

is there an expiration date on it?

Is it dry? Can you mush it back down into dry powder? If so, it's OK.

Not sure about creatine but I let some opened protein sit for bout a half year and there was lil tiny maggots in it.

Same could apply to creatine.

No date, its says best before see pot and they didnt put a date :p its rock solid though, so I chucked it. Its cheap to get more anyway, cheers guys

That picture is so accurate.

Creatine, not even once.

EDIT: TS, you're good. I've used expired creatine before when I've needed a fix, and I was fine.

I'm sure the bottle has an expiration date

I would imagine like anything, over time the nutritional value, or the potency of the supplement will deminish. To what extent I don't know, but after two years I would just throw it out and buy some new stuff. It's fairly inexpensive anyway really for the improvments it could bring you
