supplements are just one of those things you need to try a bit of everything with because we all respond uniquely to them. you might be a super responder to some things, while others do literally nothing. the gains i make personally combining creatine with lifting as an example are out of this world   it smells a bit sweet/sour with a slight "off" note. it's definitely not aromatic or pleasant per se, but it's definitely unique. did yours come with the cas paper? you should be able to contact the manufacturer for it otherwise
