What is the smell and taste of the capsules? I read a few complaints in the reviews.

I personally didn't notice any after taste. These are the best ones I've found to get the 1000 mgs in something I'm able to swallow. I can't swallow tablets any longer and was hesitant at first over the size of these capsules but have no problem at all swallowing them. In fact ordering another bottle today. Hope this helps.

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 pills are oval. I don't have an issue swallowing them as I drink them down with my morning healthy smoothie, yogurt, or applesauce, so they glide right down. They have a slight odor, not too much. I don't taste them at all the way I take them, as explained above. I take one twice per day.

they are capsules that can be pulled apart. about 1/2inch long. easy to swallow. I quit taking them because I am hypothroism, and take a prescription for that, because my thyroid quit working. I think this capsule is suppose to rev up the metabolism and I don't think that will happen with me.

I've noticed the capsules themselves stink when you open them. Maybe a capsule opened in your bottle? They capsules themselves have always stunk

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.

I open my capsules and place the powder on my tongue. I don't like swallowing pills. Doesn't taste bad at all. Also get quicker results!

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!

I just swallow them and dont taste them. I take half the recommended dose (one pill rather than 2) because I am small (103 lbs). This works for me. I dont like the powder either but folks who drink smoothies seem to think it is good. I prefer taking the Spirulina with my morning drink along with my vitamins. It sits better in the stomach when consumed in conjunction with food.

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.

I don't have full use of my "smell" sense, but my husband says they don't smell bad like the Omeg Reds. I also pierce mine and add the contents to my morning protien shake and it doesn't effect the taste (don't like swallowing those large capsules)

The pills don't have a taste. I just swallow them with water. The pill form is very convenient.

The are small, about 1/4 inch tops square. They don't have a nasty taste or smell. Compared to many other B complex vitamins. I've tried switching but these are my favorite by far.

I don't think so, I swallow them whole so I don't know what the inside taste like. These are capsules.

I drink it with kombucha, I cant smell or taste the pills. Or you could try some other drink with a strong flavor to mask it, like fruit juice or lemonade.

The capsules are just over three quarters of an inch long (a standard size). They are easy to pull apart and the powder in them has a mild taste. You might try simply mixing it in a smoothie, or even a flavored yogurt.
