Odor in ActiveProtec™ OX

Regarding the smell you've noticed when dissolving ActiveProtec™ OX or mixing it into a formula, the product description for ActiveProtec™ OX indicates that it is a white powder with a slight odor as a characteristic.

While the product is described as having a slight odor, it's possible there are variations between production batches that affect the intensity of the smell, which might explain why you didn't notice it in previous purchases.

The product can be stored at room temperature if the bottle cap is tightly closed and it's protected from sunlight or heat. However, the presence of the smell in both recent purchases suggests it may be an inherent characteristic or batch variation rather than solely a storage issue after purchase.

The product description suggests that Odor-Kill can be used at the same rate (e.g., 1:1) in the formula to help neutralize the odor of ActiveProtec™ OX if it is bothersome.
