Does Creatine Go Bad?

[Wudog]

So i finally ordered some creapure creatine, and in the meantime I found some old ass gnc creatine mono that I was going to use just to load with since it's been years since I've used any creatine. I put some in a cup with water, mixed it up and it doesn't mix worth a ****. I tried drinking it, but it's all gritty and most of it just stays on the bottom and doesn't mix..... Am I missing something or is this semi-common or what?

creatine is depping on wate kind is mostly a salt and should keep awhile aslong it dont get wet

Usually when it starts to clump its losing its effectiveness, i think. I know when moisture is involved it has a chance to turn to creatinine and that no good for you.
