Question:
How long before protein breaks down?
I've heard that once protein powder is mixed, the protein only lasts for a short time before the protein is rendered useless. How long does it last? Also, how about the individual pre-mixed protein drinks such as Isopure glass bottles. How long does the protein last once the bottle is opened? — y0maria (posted on December 30, 2003)

I'm not sure about the isopure in the bottles...but, thought someone had
called the maker and they said like 24 hours or something. As far as
mixes...I think the general consensus is that they start to lose
effectiveness after about 1/2 hour. Hope that helps!

I too was told 1/2 an hour before it starts to be useless...I however
thought that was kinda odd. So I called the manufacturer of my protein,
they told me 24 hours from the time it was mixed with any liquid, but it
must be kept cold and mixed well after it has sat. Look on your lable and
see if there is a phone #, call them and ask.
