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.

Yes, it does smell fishy because that's what's in there, but I swallow them too fast to be bothered by any aftertaste. It wouldn't bother me anyway; it's a great supplement!

Hi Connie,I don't take that anymore. Hard to get down. Had chase it with orange juice or SOMETHING. The smell stays with you. I order the gel capsules and have been taking them ever since. They are 650mg and all it states on the bottle is that it is a gel cap with Extra Virgin, red palm oil. Hope this helps. If you can't find the gel caps, I ordered mine from www.pipingrock.com.

The bottle is glass. I know fermented foods are good for us but I had to worst time swallowing these pills. They smell completely foul. I ended up trading fish oil bottles with my boyfriend because I couldn't take these anymore. As for effectiveness, my results are not measurable. I can't see or feel any differences in my body like I can when using L-glutamine. Ultimately, this brand appeared to be of high quality and the pill casing was quite thin, I'm assuming for easy gastro-absorbtion. Which is probably why they smell so bad.

They are not capsules at all. They are a large tablet that smells strongly of vitamins. I tried grinding them into a power and added it to my shampoo because I don't like taking such large pills. I also tried the Pure Guild Hair Re-Growth Serum. Neither really worked very well. I have read that if you take liquid iodine (a drop under the tongue each day) helps butt have not tried that yet. Hope this helps.

It list NUMEROUS ingredients on the bottle. Too long to type. A whole bunch of stuff. You may have to go to the website and get it.The person who listed the ingredients is different than mine and is only a partial list. Even the capsule ingredient is large.

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,

They are a large gel capsule, kinda like a vitamin E capsule, but larger. It's not hard to swallow because it is a smooth, soft gel cap even though it is large. Hope this helps! It is the best fish oil out there. Highly recommended. No fishy taste at all.

No, these capsules are soft, yet thickly coated to contain the liquid within; so there is neither an odor or a noticeable taste. They are, however, fairly large.

Hi,I don't taste it when I take them, but they do tend to make you burp a little and I do notice the ginger taste then. I like the taste of ginger, so it doesn't bother me. If you don't like the taste of ginger you'll probably find that to be annoying. It's not overpowering like some fish oil supplements after taste. There may be other brands that have a enteric coated capsule to prevent the ginger burps.

It does have a very fishy smell, but not strong enough for a human to detect, unless you put it right under your nose. I add it to their dry food, and it's in the kitchen, but in ever smell it. I hope this helps.

I remember mine being a bit odd smelling, but I don't remember fish! I sort of remember a card inside saying to air it out when you get it, but can't remember for sure. Maybe check on www.polarbearcoolers.com or contact them at leslie@polarbearcoolers.com or 1-888-438-7924. Good luck!!

Mine does not smell like fish. On the label, to the left side of front is a picture of three people in an oval, and below that is on the right is a "use by" date. Check to see if it is out of date or close to it. Keep in mind that once you open it, it MUST be refrigerated. I have never had a problem with Barlean's. I does smell oily, but then again it IS an oil, but I have no fish smell. I go through a 16 ounce bottle in about 6-7 days; using 1/3 cup per day.

No it is not suppose to smell like fish. I have only tried a couple of bottles and neither one had a bad smell. Heat and light will make it taste funny tho. Open and refrigerate...use it up. Don't try to keep it a long long time.

Not really a fishy smell but you have to be right on top of it to smell it I have a keen sense of smell and don't recommend getting that close to it only put a few of these out of the time for they will take them and hidethem good luck!

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.
