Do supplements go bad???

[lucky8926]

About 3 years ago I was into working out and had a few different supplements. I had some different things going on and unfortunately I stopped working out. I want to get back into it and I drug all my supplements out but don't know if they're still any good. Here is what I have, the exp date, and their condition.

-Nutriplanet Kwick Karb (basically waxy maize starch)
it's not clumpy at all and there isn't an exp date on the container

-Controlled Labs Green MAGnitude
kind of clumpy with an exp date of 12/09

-Scivation Xtend
kind of clumpy with exp date of 03/10

-BSN N.O. Xplode
kind of clumpy exp date 12/08

Dymatize Eliete Whey protein isolate
Still very powdery exp 11/09

Yes they go bad. If the tops were loose and they became moist and then dryed out again they will smell different. But im not sure if I would chance anything to far away from the exp date. Theres a reason they put a date on it. I would'nt risk it but thats me.

Thats what I was afraid of... Hoping I could save a little $$, but then again in 3 years probably some of the ingredients have changed for the better and there are even some better supplements that what I was taking 3 years ago. I have notice that the waxy maize starch debate is still ongoing..... LOL

The N.O. Xplode might be a little less potent, but the rest will be fine. Make sure the whey doesn't smell spoiled, though.

Really?? Nothing smells bad. I just mixed some of the whey protein and it dissolved like usual, a few clumps but nothing bad. It tasted fine too.

Yeah. As long as it was kept in a cool, dry area and it was sealed, it will be fine.
