Thread: does creatine go bad?

so i go to reload creatine, and dump it in w/ this strawberry breeze juice drink (like strawberry, pineapple, and 2 other fruits). the first gulp was gross. the 2nd almost made me puke, so i threw it out. 10 minutes later, i was drunk, or at least it felt like it. it was horrible, getting a nauseous drunk feeling off of creatine. it wore off about 3-4 hours later.

the creatine is AST micronized creatine monohydrate, which ive used for a long time. however, this can is about 2 years old. is it the creatine, or the juice?

all supplements have a shelf life, 2 years is pretty typical providing that it is sealed.
