Out Of Date Creatine?

[InItForGainz]

My supplement supplier has got a box of Optimum Nutrition's Creatine 2500 bottles (capsules) that are out of date, that he's selling off really cheap.
Seeing as it's just pure dry creatine powder in capsules they should be alright for long past their expiry date right? Or would they be pretty useless now considering they're a month past their Best Before Date?
Thinking about it, do dry (powdered) supplements ever really go "Off"?

Reps for answers

Creatine is cheap. Get fresh mate.

Why not get a pre wo with Creatine in it? Timing doesn't matter and no pre load necessary.

I got RagNOrok Elite non stim with everything I need.

I think it's still 50% off.

 

[InItForGainz]

I'm off pre's at the moment, just taking a break off them for a month. I don't pre-load anyway, I just take it as one of those day to day standard supps.
The Bottles are Half Price, so got me thinking

 

[justhere4comm]

I would buy new. It's cheap as it is.

 

[InItForGainz]

Fair point

A year supply of creatine mono is $20 so I would get a fresh tub

Bit more expensive over here in the UK. We have a 20% sports supplement tax.
For example, A 200 caps bottle of Optimum Nutrition's 2500 is £22-£33 ($28-$42)

It probably is fine but if it is encapsulated it would probably still be more expensive than bulk powder, no?

 

[justhere4comm]

Powder is best. Because dosing is more convenient and timing not important.

 

[Daycrawler]

It should be fine but yeah, Creatine is super cheap as is. We(SNS)sell our 1.2kg tub for like $11-14 US

Powders and Capsules are pretty much the same price, depends on size and branding obviously.

Capsules are usually more expensive with less serving sizes per container

O.N 2500 200 Caps (50 Serving) £22 ($28)
O.N Creatine Powder 50 Serving £18 ($23)
So not much in it, and worth the extra as I prefer the convienience of caps

US prices are so much cheaper wow
Did not know it was that expensive there and for that price difference I would do caps too

UK 20% sports supplement tax dude
I want to try that new Muscletech NitroTech but at £50 ($64) per small tub it's just too much, so I'll stick with MyProtein for now

Picking up some new bulk creatine monohydrate would be the way to go.

I would purchase fresh as you really won't know if it is going to be worth getting cheap out of date product.
