We\u2019re sure you\u2019ve been in this situation before: You reach into your pantry looking forward to an energy boost, only to realize that your pre-workout has expired. But a look into the container reveals that it appears fine. You give it a sniff, and it smells OK. Then, you think to yourself: Does pre-workout expire?<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t want to be wasteful, but you\u2019re also not sure if rolling the dice is worth it\u2026 So, what do you do?<\/p>\n

How to Tell if Pre-Workout Is Expired<\/h2>\n

Go ahead and hang up your detective hat. The best way to determine whether or not your\u00a0pre-workout has expired is by looking at the expiration date printed on the packaging, says Paul Falcone, MS, principal scientist at BODi. \u201cThese dates are established after testing to guarantee quality, potency, and efficacy of the product within that time frame,\u201d Falcone says.<\/p>\n

Additionally, discolored or clumpy pre-workout powder can also be signs that it was left out for too long and has gone bad.<\/p>\n

Beachbody Performance Energize\u2018s active ingredients are carefully formulated to help optimize athletic performance.* Caffeine, beta-alanine, and quercetin work to help increase energy, delay fatigue, and maintain laser-sharp focus.<\/p>\n

However, the only way to ensure you\u2019re gaining the optimal benefits from Beachbody Performance Energize (or any other pre-workout supplement) is to consume it according to the instructions and before its expiration date.<\/p>\n

Can Pre-Workout Go Bad After Mixing?<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s best to allow some time between drinking pre-workout and hitting the gym (30 to 60 minutes is ideal), you should avoid preparing pre-workout too far in advance. \u201cWe recommend drinking pre-workout right away after mixing it up, or as instructed on the packaging of these products,\u201d Falcone says.<\/p>\n

On-the-go packets of Beachbody Performance Energize \u2014 because they include a single serving and require no measuring \u2014 make it easy to prepare your pre-workout anywhere there\u2019s a water source. Just don\u2019t forget your bottle!<\/p>\n

What Causes Pre-Workout to Go Bad?<\/h2>\n

Pretty much anything meant to be consumed has a shelf life. Dietary supplements, just like an apple, are susceptible to air and moisture and will begin to break down over time.<\/p>\n

Based on scientific testing, expiration dates offer the most accurate timeframe for when it\u2019s okay to consume supplements. \u201cBeachbody Performance Energize should maintain its quality as long as it is consumed within the expiration date provided on the package,\u201d Falcone says.<\/p>\n

Is It OK to Take Expired Pre-Workout?<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At some point, you\u2019ve probably gambled with an expired product without experiencing any side effects. Maybe you took your chances with yogurt just past its \u201cbest by\u201d date or, in a moment of desperation, heated up that forgotten jar of spaghetti sauce that technically should have been eaten a couple months ago.<\/p>\n

While you survived to tell the tale, you probably should have just tossed the questionable item. The same rule applies to all supplements, including Beachbody Performance Energize.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is never a good idea to consume any product past its expiry date,\u201d Falcone says.<\/p>\n

How Can You Stop Pre-Workout From Going Bad?<\/h2>\n

\"ladder<\/p>\n

Preserving pre-workout\u2019s freshness comes down to proper storage conditions. Use these tips to keep your pre-workout fresh.<\/p>\n

1. Keep it in its container<\/h3>\n

Beachbody Performance Energize\u2018s packaging is designed for storage, so avoid transferring it (or any other Beachbody Performance\u00a0product) to a different container.<\/p>\n

2. Stay cool<\/h3>\n

The shelf sitting in direct sunlight or above the oven is probably not the best home for your pre-workout. Instead, choose a cool, dry place like a cabinet or, if you have room, pop it in your fridge.<\/p>\n

3. Avoid moisture<\/h3>\n

Never use a wet scoop to measure your pre-workout, and be mindful of humidity. Some rooms, like the bathroom, tend to have more moisture in the air. Find the driest space in your home to store pre-workout.<\/p>\n
