leaving supplments in car--Heat Damage?

[Conan21]

What are your guys thoughts on leaving supplements in a gym bag in your trunk while you are at work and it is hot outside. By supplements I mean pre-workout drink mix, creatine, BCAAs etc.

alot of these say to store in a cool dry place and i normally try to do that but sometimes I leave things in my car by accident. Does this damage the products in any way?

I think the major reason why they say cool/dry place is that the powder may end up clumping.

Would it change it potency, maybe but it may not be significant imo.

they will be fine in my opinion...

they say not to store in those types of places for a long time i think. They will clump up like said b4...

1 day in ur trunk should not matter...

I think you could have problems if you did it day after day with extreme temps,,but just once in awhile should be ok.

Spend the 20 bucks and keep a cooler in the trunk, and get into the habit of putting your supps in there with an ice pack...problem solved.

Yeah, the only thing that would worry me would be high humidity. I guess if the packages are well sealed though, this wouldnt even be a problem. Id worry mostly about water finding its way into the package rather than the temp.
