Hi,

I have a few bottles of Twinlab HMB Fuel that I bought around 6-7 months ago. I took them for a while, and I had no problems. THen I stopped taking them for a while, and then about 1 month ago, i took some. After i took them i started to feel really sick, dizzy, etc... I thought maybe i was just sick. Then the other day I gave them another try, and I got the same feeling.

Should i just trash these? Or do i need to take them for a few days to get back into taking them? I dont see an expiration date on them, so im not sure what to do.

Is it safe to take expired supplements?

Thanks!!

Trash them. No supplement should make you feel like crap and you have to suffer a few days to get back into it.. Chuck them.

Protein, Glutamine, and Creatine can be taken up to 6 months after the expiration.. they don't get back, they lose their effectiveness.

Depends on the supplement really. In your explanation, I would say no.. it's not. You feel like crap. Twice. If it's not because of the expiration, it's because it is giving you a reaction. Not worth it.

I'd say the above 3 I listed and maybe vitamins.. would be okay 6 months after but that's about it.. really depends on the supplement.
