Can creatine expire?

I ran out of my good stuff and found some stuff that expired last summer. Do you think it will still work?

Im prety sure it can crystalize, it might start smelling like amonia i could be wrong though

yes it can ...it is very unstable it becomes toxic in 45 seconds after hitting water or juice if not consumed...

this is why alkalated creatine is the best it never converts to the toxin.....( it's very expensive ) ...AND YES IT WILL BE AVALIBLE FROM THE LION

Geez, I've already had mixed with 3 of my protein shakes so far....

alkalated as in a sodium buffer to make it effervescent? right? thats how i take my creatine with to alkaseltzers wich are sodium buffers, sorta micronizes the powder thus getting 30% more out of it rather then the shit at the bottom of the galls that truns your stomach, you would be amazed at the huge difference creatin with alkaseltzers makes

I will have to try that Press

I'm not sure it will work the same ....but it a good idea ....I'll check with our chemist .......

I do beleave that you only need 1/5 the amount of the alkalated creatine

creatinine is what creatinine converts too and is toxic. stomac cramps and muscle cramps accure........

research data will be released soon....

Kre-Alkalyn is a patented buffered creatine monohydrate. It stops the conversion of creatine to creatinine, which is toxic to the body. Test results show that the lower the pH, the quicker the conversion from creatine to creatinine. For instance, water has a pH of about 7; once mixed with creatine the total conversion from creatine to creatinine takes approximately eight minutes.

Inside the body, the stomach has a pH of approximately 2.5 – 3.5. Once creatine is in the stomach it is instantaneously converted to creatinine because of its low pH value. Regardless of your delivery system, you can be assured that your product is converting into this toxic poison. You can match your current product to our research to find out how long it takes for 100% conversion.

I read a study that to get the most out of creatine it should be taken with a effervescent mix with WARM grape juice. I tried it, if you can get that down everyday, your a better man than me, taste like moose drool.

Good info to think about!

no need anymore to mix it anymore
