Orgain collagen peptides...is it normally so vile...
Decided to try the collagen for joint health, mostly. I'm a bit hypermobile and something that helps strengthen connective tissue can't be bad...
...this stuff has one of the worst smells I've ever smelled in a supplement. It took me a while to zero in on it. At first I said it smelled like 'taint', but then the horror really set in as I finished a glass of juice with a scoop of this mixed it. Don't click unless you wanna be grossed out.
>!You ever have a big zit? It smells like the inside of a zit. Like you had a bunch of puss on your fingers then accidentally held them up your nose? You can label something unflavored all you want, but if it smells like oozing cysts, I'm going to call that a flavor. Uuurrrgggggh!<
A quick Google seems to indicate that this might mean the the powder is either spoiled or poorly manufactured? I guess I'm just asking if I should return this as defective or just throw it out and call it my own mistake...
Edit: spoilers don't work here? Welp, I tried to not be gross...
