Title: Protein Expiration
Post by: onlyme on January 22, 2009, 12:30:15 AM
I gotta chance to buy a lot of protein (Prolab Advanced Whey Protein) at an unreal price.  It expires in 9 months.  It is not for me but to resell.  I figure most people buy their protein and consume it easily within a month or two after buying it so the expiration date won't matter much.  Is this true or is this protein losing benefits by being so close to the expiration date.

Nine months. Should be fine to resell. If I buy a "jug" of protein powder it's usually gone within three months.

Thats what I figure.  Most people buy it and use it easily within a couple months unless they stock up on it

Now, that's pushing it.

Try it out, and if you post again, we'll know you lived thru it!  :D

If it hasn't been opened, and kept at a constant temperature, then it might be okay.  Smell would be a dead giveaway.  Forget it if it's been opened.
