Out of date .. Still good??

ad

Ok everyone.. I've got some BSN true mass 1200 ive had for awhile.. Was in a car accident and had to set out for awhile and recover from that mess. Now, I'm back in the gym and doing great. The expiration date on it is 9/16. Its been in my kitchen cabinet since I bought it.. Its been away from any moisture and sealed. I hate to toss it out if its still g2g. Thoughts??

The only thing that will break down in protien powders and weight gainers are lysine. It’s called the mallard effect. You can add lysine to it. You can buy lysine on amazon. I have some in my supplement canenit leftover from expired protien powder I had last month. Yes I made gains from the protien.

I buy 90% of my supplements off of the clearance section at gnc. It’s all soon to expire stuff. Saves me tons

I think it would be just fine. Open it up, give it a smell and a look, if it passes your inspection I would use it.

My opinion is I think the only expiration dates that matter are on food and even then you can slow down the expiration by freezing foods, I think they just throw expiration dates on supplements for job security.

Good to go brother! I'm firmly of the opinion that manufacturers short date product to drive sales! Thie occurs in nearly every industry!

This is exactly correct make sure that the stopper hasn't been eaten away by the chems in the mix. Make sure that you examine it really closely with a magnifying glass or something to make sure that even the smallest particulates aren't present if they are just filter it and it should be fine. You don't want to inj any thing but oil into yourself. You could get a infection from the smallest alien piece of anything.
My motto is when in doubt throw it out.
Safety first brother

I would say it's more than likely good to go. You'll know right away after you drink your first shake if it upsets your stomach or not

That's what I was thinking but wanted a second opinion on it. Getting ready to down a glass. If I'm alive in the morning, we'll know. Ha!!
