Creatine Strong Chemical Scent

I just noticed that my creatine has a very strong chemical scent; It almost smells like windex. It is the unflavored Creatine Monohydrate 500 from GNC. This is concerning to me because creatine is supposed to be odorless and flavorless, and the creatine I had before this had no scent. I have been using this creatine for a few months now and haven’t dropped dead yet. Anyone have any experience with this?

Sounds shady to me…probably not a good idea to take it, and I’d imagine you should get a refund from them or a different bottle.

Sorry, no. GNC has a very good return policy though.

I buy from Biotest (shameless plug). Never a problem.

I’d just get another brand
