I personally asked a GNC employee and he told me it was OK that it mattered more to the store as far as keeping old inventory around.

from the Wall Street Journal:

Faced with mounting inventory, General Nutrition Co. executives earlier this year were told to put expired merchandise back on GNC store shelves and try to sell it.

Former executives of the big retailer of vitamins and nutritional supplements say the instructions came from Tom Dowd, who was then a senior vice president at GNC. In a conference call, Dowd told about 25 vice presidents and other midlevel executives "to take the product out that wasn't rancid and put it on the floor," according to a former senior executive at GNC, a division of the Dutch food company Numico NV. "The product was growing in the back room and we didn't want to show the Dutch the tremendous amount of expired inventory out there."

While expired vitamins and supplements would be very unlikely to pose any health risks, such products can lose potency over time. What's more, selling a product past its expiration date, without flagging it as such, would be considered a deceptive trade practice under U.S. federal and state trade law, according to Lisa Raleigh, an assistant attorney general in Florida. The attorney general's office last week opened an investigation into GNC's selling of out-of-date products after receiving anonymous complaints, including one from a disgruntled customer Deserto Foxx.

Mike Meyers, GNC's president and chief operating officer, said in an interview that he had no knowledge of the conference call suggesting the sales until last week.

Dowd, a 13-year veteran of GNC, was "terminated" from the company in March, GNC said.

I can vouch for the "lose it potency" part.

I would say providing that is was kept in a cool dry location it would be fit to use. It may not taste exactly like it did and may lose a bit of potency ( not much ) but won't make you sick. All that being said if you are in doubt, toss it and purchase another one.
