I just bought some Met-Rx effervescent creatine from somebody on Ebay. It's expiration date is up and I was wondering if it is possible for creatine to really go bad? It is a dry solid substance, so I don't really see how it is possible to go bad. Am I safe or not?

Nutritional supplements lose their bio-activity over time. You will not get sick or anything, it just may not work well or at all.

What about this...can creatine be heated? I usually drink my post wo shake by scooping two Ultra Size pp ( this can be heated and has lots of cream in it) and nuking it. Then I add my creatine, glutamine, and instant coffee to the hot/warm water.
How's that?

I read that heating is not a problem but mixing with an acetic liquid like OJ is a problem.

I bough some cell tech a year ago then i used it seven months later and i didn't get any results except for a gut from all that damn sugar in it. The creatine didnt do anything.

i worked at GNC for two months, i was told that the shelf life of most products was up to 2 years if its stored in a cool dry place. some companies do put an expiration date on them.look on the bottom or some where on the label..

Thanks for your reply. That's kinda what I wanted to know about, but I know the expiration date, it's 09/01. Will it still be ok now? It is still sealed, and was kept in a cool dry place!!
thanks

A while back I was taking Amplified Creatine 189, but got injured. I had the Bottle of pills in my garage where it is very hot. Will not storing the product in a cool place make it worthless? Or will it be ok. the Expiration date in 09/2011

I got some effervescent creatine from gnc on clearence that was out dated and it liqufied my stomach everytime I took it ,I had taken the same type before with no problem -but I guess it could've been the batch too

If it has been stored properly I don't think you will have any problems. You can put creatine in coffee or hot liquids. I think some of the first studies on creatine were done by adding it to coffee.
