Is it normal for this product to have a horrible chemical smell? I have never used D-Ribose before so I have been trying to use but the smell ugh!

I found the same thing. Tried the Douglas Labs brand of Corvalen D-Ribose, and there was no chemical smell. Smells very clean, almost like vanilla.

Is this made from corn?

It has no corn. It also has no milk, sugar,eggs, wheat, and no gluten. This is stated in the supplement facts on the back label.

Has Now solved problem with D-Ribose?

When I contacted them last year, the receptionist stated that the acetone smell was a normal part of their manufacturing process. I imagine they would not be changing it anytime soon, unless their customer base drops enough to encourage them to address this issue. I returned my last order. Since then I have tried Doctor's Best D-ribose, which did not smell like paint thinner, even after a month of use. I have also heard good things about Douglas Labs' Corvalen D-ribose, from Nutrihealth - more expensive, but one reviewer said it gave 30% more energy vs. the 10-15% of regular D-ribose.

Has Now solved problem with D-Ribose?

Didn't know they currently had a problem with it. I did read some reviews about it having a chemical type smell but those were from several years ago. I've been ordering this product from Amazon for almost a year & am on my 6th bottle & have never had any issues with any of them.. All of the bottles I've received have had the same slightly sweet smell that is common with D-Ribose.
