expired protein?

[sk8erhellus]

What do you guys think about expired protein? I don’t think that it is a big deal to take it, do you think that it is not effective after it expires?

 

[sk8erhellus]

anyone got any ideas?

 

[mikeswift]

probably won't kill you, what is it? how old?

 

[sk8erhellus]

A year old, some stuff I have had laying around and when GNC has sales they mark protein down ½ off and even more sometimes, the stuff that is getting ready to expire so it was more of a in general question. Has anyone herd that it is not good to take it or will it still do the job?

As long as it hasn't been exposed to water or humidity I would still use it...

Taking expired protein, is unlikely to cause any problems but is also likely to be ineffective due to vitamins, amino acids, etc. Supplement companies put an expiration date on the label to assure you of good potency.

The role of protein is to provide the system with all nine essential amino acids in large amounts.

If I were you I would use protein with unexpired term of the original warranty, because I want to have the max results.

 

[sk8erhellus]

so thats one maybe and one NO

 

[mikeswift]

I'll put my vote in NO as well... although if you're strapped, old pro is better than no pro

How expired is it? If it barely expired, I'd probably use it. Usually, really expired protein will smell stale or smell bad. Better than nothing at all like mikeswift says.

The thing is I am on a cycle and don't want to mess that up, I have gained 4lbs in the past 2weeks

It probably isn't as potent, but I would use it. Maybe just a bit more to make up for the fact that it's likely less potent. Shit, that way you'll go through it quicker and get some new stuff sooner. Win-win baby.

 

[sk8erhellus]

now i like that answer!

manufacturers

are required I believe to put dates on these products but I would say that you will be fine. If it was left open and exposed to bacteria etc for some time then i would worry. I think the worst thing that would happen is you would get a upset stomach and or the shits from it. I used some expired SynthePure from www.Synthetek.com and it still worked just fine for me.

I agree with Mr.Huge (with a name like that how can I argue?)
