In your blood, creatine clears fast: a single dose peaks within about an hour or two and has a half-life of roughly three hours, with blood and urine levels returning to normal within about a week of stopping.

Does Protein Powder Expire? Shelf Life, Safety, and Storage
Yes, protein powder expires, but slowly. Most powders carry a "best by" date one to two years out, and because they are dry, low-moisture products, they resist the bacteria that spoil fresh food.

Creatine Gummies vs. Powder: Which Is Actually Better?
Both creatine gummies and powder work, as long as the product actually contains the creatine monohydrate it claims.

Gummies are convenient and tasty, but often...

Collagen is an incomplete protein that is poor for muscle building, but its amino acids support skin elasticity, hydration, and...

The two are often sold together in pre-workout powders, which is where the confusion comes from, but plain creatine has no caffeine and is not a stimulant....
