If this is synthetic, then what is it made from? I ordered it and it stinks. What is the smell? Is it bad?

Who knows? Bad batch? Damaged in shipping? No bad odor with mine. As I advise my clients--if something works for you, great, go for it. If not--leave it alone! Testing & journaling is an individual responsibility. There are cases, even when a majority is benefited, that an individual can have allergies, etc. ...no cookie cutter methods. Toxic or Treasure? Decided on a unique basis. Synopsis of chemical composition here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimethylglycine

I'm not sure, and I have no way of knowing. I've noticed that a pill form that I have tastes slightly sweet. This is probably because it comes from beets.

As far as I know its made from beets. I'm pretty sure that smell is its normal smell from the process of extracting the betaine from the beets. It should have a strange, lightly sweet taste to it when you add it to water. I add it to just about every smoothie I make and make sure to eat lots of salad because it really helps clear out the liver of toxins.

it looks like a synthetic leathery product, but it does not smell at all (not of leather or plasticy, either). We have used ours for several years in our bathroom. One of the buttons keeps popping up, so that is the only disappointment. But for the price it has held up quite well for being in a bathroom. I store extra toilet paper in it!

I would not order this product. I did a heat test on it and it smelled like burning plastic. I believe it is fake. Order from a reputable dealer on Etsy.

It smells just the tiniest bit like leather, which is funny since I'm fairly certain it's not real leather. But I've had it out of its original packaging a few months now. I don't remember noticing any oder when I first opened it though.

It's definitely not a natural leather so it must be synthetic.. I don't know what "pu" is.It doesn't have any weird smell like some reviews mention on other products.It's water resistant, flexible, but not flimsy. Not like cardboard or immovable but also has rigidity in its construction.Hope that helps

It is made of human, Stem cells, (baby Foreskin, cells). That is the odor! I was warned about the smell from my MD, when he suggested it. My skin has change a lot! It will take about three months before you see a difference. That is about how long it took my skin to respond. It is expensive, but it really worked for me!

The label just says, 'fragrance.' I have no idea whether it's synthetic or not.

It smells bad because it's awesome. It doesn't last long though. A few days at most.

I don't recall a smell. It's been about 5 weeks since I received my belt, but I just now held it up to my nose and took a deep breath. I didn't notice any significant smell at all. Maybe Mr. Gordon's belt was temporarily near something fairly volatile, some time between manufacture and delivery. I think synthetic fibers have an affinity for some organic compounds, especially oils. I think that's why polyester shirts tend to retain our less attractive personal odors.

It's synthetic. Don't focus on the word "towel". In terms of material, this is no kind of towel as you know it. It's only a towel because it can be used to dry the body. The material feels very similar to chamois leather.

I could smell material (plastic type) when I took it out go the box, but nothing after that. No smell that would cause me not to use it. Thx. Good luck.

I haven't washed it yet but it look sewed on . Also , it smelled really great at first. But after about 5 uses , it smells really bad from microwave . It smells like burned popcorn and my kids have to leave the room . You may want toLook into a different one, especially after the cost of it . Good Luck '

I never noticed any smell when I received it. I have had it over a year now and after washing it yesterday I checked and it smells like my laundry soap. I would give it a wash that should work.
