Is Alteril tablets supposed to smell like rotten turkey?

yes, but don't worry, they don't taste that bad and not alot of after taste either. it's the herb's that smell like that.

Remember they did smell weird. Think it is the tryptophan. Worked good for me.

It's funny the box says to take 2 tablets, but when I do that I can't sleep, so I just take 1 and it works very well. They do smell awful. Can you imagine what it must be like working in their factory? I would be sick everyday...haha!

yes in pharmacy school one of the ingredients in ALTERIL, called Valerian had a terrible smell of smelly feet, but that's the drug that works as a calmative and has some sleeping effect. I believe that Valium was first derived from Valerian extract! Together with melatonin and tryptophan 1/2 a tablet at bed time works well and repeating the other half if you wake up during the night. It sure works well for me that way!

It smells like rotten eggs. Sometimes that can smell just as bad or worse than a fart

Yes. When you open it, there is a definite odor. Once in my pill carrier, I did not mind taking them.Hope this helps.

I have also noticed a "chemical smell"...kind of like kerosine. My whole living room reeks of it. I'm a little sad since my guinea pigs have used carefresh for the last year and a half with no trouble.

Well, Its smell isnt anything to brag on. What I do before ever ordering any supplements of any kind is my homework, (RESEARCH) each ingredient and any side effects or interactions it may have with any and all other perscription and non-prescription products included in my daily diet.

Your issues don't sound that out of the ordinary. I've been using this product for months. Always the same results. Pills smell like low tide at the beach. Slight nausea when taken on an empty stomach. Which results in horrendously smelly burps. Like I've just eaten sushi made out of cat food. But overall, the positive physiological results outweigh the negative psychological results that come from getting dirty looks on the bus in the morning. I know the instructions say to take them on an empty stomach, but I haven't noticed any kind of decrease in efficacy if/when I take them with food. So, do whatever works best for you.

The pills are oval somewhat like a slightly deflated football and they are beige. The pills do have an odor.

the packaging may contribute to the odor. I am extremely sensitive to synthetic odors. You may not have that problem. Best wishes

There is a little doser in the bottle.. I have canaries and give each one of them quarter of a dose in a orange slice few times a week since it has an orange smell to it.. works out great

Suggest you consider some other brands. It has an awful smell like spoiled nuts in its recent products which I received.

I can't exactly answer your question as my pills have never smelled. You may want to return them for a different bottle. I don't think I would take them if they smell bad.

Sorry it took so long to answer. My last bottle smelled fishy but I also noticed the gelatin tablet was thinner and maybe dissolves quicker in the stomach. I open the bottle and let it air out a minute before taking the tablets and it works fine.

It shouldn't smell like that ....the one I ordered smelled awesome! Amazon is great with returns and if an item isn't right....I would contact them :-) but this is a great cologne

I don't see why it couldn't but look up chemical composition and fumes and see if thats alright with you. The flames aren't extreme or anything so it's fine. I agree, the tablets smell like fish that has been out for a while.

You are right! There is a definite difference in smell. I couldn't swallow the huge tablets--tried crushing a tablet which then filled 2 empty capsules the size of regular Bone-Up. But I could still smell the Ultra Bone-Up through the capsule. It is an odd smell, and you might have found an apt description! In addition to the "JarroSil Silicon", Ultra Bone-Up also contains "MBP" (Milk Basic Protein), so the MBP is probably the cause of the odd taste/smell.

It's very strong smell. To much for a cat maybe. Crush the pills & mix into a very small amount & see if that works. Remember to crush the pills. Cats are smart

That doesn't sound right, to me. Mine has a light, floral scent. Pleasant, definitely not what I would describe as rancid.
