Why do these capsules smell like fish? Why isn't there an ingredient list on the label?

My bottle has a label that clearly states the only ingredient is flax seed oil. It has no smell of fish.

I don't think they do, but if you are SUPER sensitive you may notice a very, very slight raspberry smell. I sniffed the bottle and couldn't smell raspberry. The liquid raspberry has a slight raspberry taste.

I can't tell from the package, it's in Japanese. It is dried fish and appears to be salted. I'm guessing that it would last a long time if you keep it dry. I opened my package months ago and I don't notice any difference in the smell. Also, there is a web address on the package, http://www.kaneso22.co.jp/ if that is of any help.

The label reads "Contains: Fish (Anchovy and Sardine) and Soy." Its label shows "Ingredients: Fish Oil Concentrate, Gelatin, Glycerin, Water, Tocopherol."I'm puzzled why soy is not shown as an ingredient; unless maybe it is only a trace amount. Unless you have an allergy to soy, I would use the product.I have had great results. My cholesterol level dropped by 1/2 and I haven't even had a cold in at least the last 3 years.

My bottle does have a faint smell to what you may call as "mold". I'm assuming bottle had original un-broken plastic tape seal around the cape when it arrived. Nevertheless, if you empty it out, all pills should be shinny and devoid of any mold evidence. Review expiry date. If still uncertain, contact the original manufacturer and request an exchange.

I haven't noticed any overpowering scent at all. Lemon does help cover up the scent of fish and is typically used by supplement manufacturers, and I guess that's what I'm faintly smelling when I take these. I did cut into several of these capsules in order to add some fish oil to my dog's food, and the stuff inside really does smell like fish, but I noticed that the capsule itself is very thick, which I think is better compared to other manufacturers of fish oil that really smells like fish to begin with.

You just need to look for "enteric coating", it's a coating that apparently doesn't get dissolved until it's so far down your digestive track, that you won't get a fishy tasting burp. They are a common product, I've taken hundreds of these pills over the years and NEVER had that taste.

The smell is not from a fish. It is a fish like smell that come from the materials or adhesive used in the construction of the paddles. It is only present when you first open the packaging. I can't recall the smell after the first game. If you are concerned, I would open the packaging and let the paddles set in a well ventilated area for a few hours and then enjoy.

For me, it smells like oil, for a lack of better description. I wouldn't say it is fishy. The smell doesn't bother me. It slowly disappears. I prefer it to fragrance.

I have never had this experience with the capsules. If the seal was broken when you got them then throw it out. If not, how are you tasting them when they should be swallowed (don't hold them on your tongue) not chewed. You should be taking them with meals, maybe the food aftertaste made them taste strange? I never have tasted anything strange and I have been taking them for a year. Sometimes when you are not feeling well things will taste strange. In any case throw out when you are not sure and try again.

Honestly, had just been remarking to someone who can't stand B vit smell that these have/had no smell... They are capsules, so there's no taste that you'll notice. however, I'm paranoid about putting capsules in my system bc they say some don't get digested, really, so I empty it out in my mouth, a little 'bitter', but then I drink down w water. Also, I put them in a smoothie, again, I can't tell that it's in there and they make me feel good, all in and all, they're pretty good for the money. :) (I say this, bc I'd rather a raw or would rather a liquid b complex, but the liquids taste awful!)...

Yes, there is a mild ocean/fishy smell to it. I use it in the skin, so I haven't tasted it.

I have purchase 4 bottles of Collagen and 1 did smell a little fishy, I let the pills air out for a day then didn't even notice

I have no idea. You'd have to ask the manufacturer. I'm assuming that expiration dates change according to the processing lot of the fish oil capsules.

My pills have no horrible smell...you apparently received a bad batch. Recommend not taking them and returning them for another bottle.

I have no fishy taste when I use it, which is good since I hate fish. I freeze mine so I have no smell but some people say that can break down the gel capsule. I have had no problems with it breaking down and feel it's fresher than keeping in a warmer room. Hope that helps,
