Finish creatine in 6 MONTHS???

winsome Posts: 20 Joined: 2003/04/03	2003/11/14, 02:22 AM Hey someone told me that once u open a bottle/break the seal of creatine container, u're supposed to finish it within 6 months. Otherwise creatine turns into creatinine within 6 months, which is toxic to the body , so never take it after 6 mont s...IS THAT TRUE? I have 1kg of prolab creatine(big pack's cheaper) & I do have breaks in exercise so I cannot finish creatine in 6 months... PLEASE HELP & guide me Thanks a lot winsome

As unstable as it may be, Creatine, on the average, has a shelf life of 3-4 years before it begins to become unstable and break down into creatinine. Of course, many environmental variables can play into this, such as a dry climate vs a more humid one, but this is the average. -------------- Michael Trample the weak; hurdle the dead!

Creatinine is a body toxin, and is one of the waste by-products extremented by the kidneys - nothing you want alot of. -------------- Michael Trample the weak; hurdle the dead!
