    Out of Date Supplements - still usable?

    Hiya Guys,

    Just started back into weight training again.

    Checked my kitchen cupboards.... I still have some UNOPENED weight gain stuff, from the last time I was training.


    However, the Sell by date is Jul 1999.... 5 years out of date!

    Is this still edible?

    Its Tropicana, "Ultra weight Gain." A dry powder, which you mix with milk.
    The foil top is unopened, and has been kept in a dark dry place etc.


    Hope you, can help.
    Martin

    Try it, it might give you gas. I would imagine it would still be okay.

    Thanks du!

    I might just do that.

    Chatting with others, loads of people have old stuff out there, which - for whatever reason - they never got around to using.

    I'll be the gingea pig out of my group then! ;-)

    Thanks again mate.

    I don't know...I hear stuff that is out of date can lose some of it's potency. 5 years is a LONG time for something to be out of date.

    I wouldn't even consider eating it..5 years expired!!
    Nobody would drink expired milk or eat rotten food or take expired meds so I don't think you should eat weight gainer for the 90's. If you do eat it let us know how everthing goes.

    if it is sealed it should be okay, may have lost some potency.
