Should the capsules be full? Mine are only half full.

It should be by weight. If you have a good scale you can tell if they are as the label describes them to be. Mine are about 3/4ths full.

Hi J, We would like to thank you for trying Viva Labs Krill Oil and really appreciate your feedback about our product. Upon inspection it would appear as though our capsules are not entirely full, however our capsules are flushed with nitrogen in order to remove oxygen, thereby preserving essential omega-3's. While it appears as though there is an air bubble, rest assured each capsule does in fact contain 625mg of krill oil. Our krill oil is third party tested and results are shown on ConsumerLab.com, justifying our label claims and exceeding customer expectations. I hope that this information has been helpful and if you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me directly at amazon@vivalabs.com or through this comment thread and I would be happy to assist you.

Mine are a little over 1/2 full, maybe 3/4 full. I love them! They give me a noticeable energy increase, and my skin is moist and nicer!

Hello, That is a question that Amazon should ask the manufacturer Viva labs because mines are too, some in half ans some 3quarters full

I had the same question. I ordered capsules and then found out that the machine came with a variety pack of about 7 or 8 capsules.

A folded piece of paper is the best way. Just measure out the amount per capsule and fill one at a time. I used an envelope with the top and side cut off before I got the capsule filler, however the capsule machine is so easy to use and not very pricy and you can fill 24 at a time.

I think it's probably about the same as the capsule content, but pretty hard to mix in liquid to drink. The next time I will probably buy the capsules.

Hi Wanda, The B-100 Capsules are fairly large - they measure almost 1" and are kind of fat. My husband used to choke on them and now he chews them up. I don't have a problem with them, but if you have trouble swallowing larger capsules, they might be a little large. There is a picture of the capsule on the bottom of the bottle that shows the "Actual Capsule Size".

I don't have problems taking capsules, so I'm not sure what your limitations are. They are not too big of round, they're skinny. They go down pretty easily. I take two at a time and have no problems.

No it does not matter. Half full or a little less is ok. Just don't overfill .

If a serving size is 2 capsules, then the amount listed is for the serving size of 2 capsules taken together. That means one capsule contains half the amounts listed on the label. Seems like there's misleading information from the company, as the front label says "1300 mg each" so I can understand the confusion people will have.

they are not as big as some, but are a bit bigger then I would like them to be...one thing that really helps me get my supplements down (I too have a hard time sometimes with pills they stick), but first swallow some liquid, then put capsule in your mouth put in more liquid swish it enough that capsule is wet and then look down when you swallow as capsule pop up in the water where as tablets sink...this will help it go up, over and down your throat then of course finish with more liquid...hope this helps! This is a great product though really helps with gas, bloat and inability to digest food...:)

Mine are not capsules, they are actual pills. Not small, but not the largest I've seen either, about 3/4" long.

I would call it an "average size" capsule. I have no problem taking two at the same time.

I would open up a capsule by pulling it apart. The caps do not contain liquid, Id say they are more the consistency of a thick honey. I just order mine recently from Amazon so I'm sure they have fresh batches of the product. I'd say it's just fine. Start taking these and be on your way to being clear headed and able to deal with stress. These things have changed my life!

The directions on the bottle suggest half or even whole. I use mine more as preventative, so I only use a small handful every time.

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.

Are both bottles full? I read on some of the comments that the bottles were either empty or almost empty.

I would have to say "Yes". I have the same container and I would say the capsules are small even though it is not stated on the outside of the container.

I have assumed it is a small amount of everything that is listed on the label. They say what percentage of your daily requirement each capsule contains.
