Hey guys I need to know how long does whey protein stay fresh after opening. I'm not talking about the expiry date of course everybody knows you should consume it before that. I had opened my tub of whey protein about six months ago or so, but until now I had no time to hit the gym and there's 80% left so I can't bear to discard it despite some clumping in the powder.

Thanks for your input cos I can't find any info online they're all referring to the expiry date.

does ur tub of whey gets direct sunlight? it could cause damage to the powder over time depending on the heat
