should capsules have a loud odor?

I didn't notice a loud odor with my purchase though there could have been. I have purchased several supplements in capsule form and yes, a loud smell is not uncommon. I have especially noticed a loud scent in iron based vitamins. However, if you have a concern about the freshness of your product you should contact the manufacturer.

BUYER BEWARE! Yes, they may have an odor. This is because the product is basically home made. It is made in somebody's backyard. No certified facilities, nothing. Look them up. Google them for yourself. It would not surprise me if the smell you were sensing was mold due to inadequate processing. You just never know, unless your product comes from a name brand and a legitimate lab.

No, I have never noticed an odor. I have noticed the color may change from one order to the next but think this is because of the season and what blossoms are available to the bees? Just my thought on this. I keep re-ordering, they really do energize me.

So there is a slight odor but that is the way Royal Jelly smells in my experience. I used to take the "liquid" kind, not very palatable. I like this product works very well. It has kept me from getting sick or helps me get over something faster!

No opinion as to that question...the horrible horrible smell of that product makes it a menace to society as far as I am concerned. Instant nausea!!

"Strong Odor"-encountered nothing like that. It's tape. Like "Scotch" tape; only wider and a slight bit thicker. This is over-think for a simple, cheap (but useful) product.

Mine smell very badly (and I didn't order them online - bought them at a health food store) and they also make me nauseous if I take them on an empty stomach. I've had other supplements that smell badly, as well, so I personally don't think it's anything out of the ordinary.

I would not say that there is a heavy odor of any kind with this product, and actually if it bothers, send it back. Although I hate doing that because of added cost

There is a slight odor but as long as you have proper ventilation you should be okay. I would really check with the maker of this product.

It doesn't sound like it. I have never noticed an odor using this product. When I smell the odor in the bottle, it smells very light. I am sorry that you have had a bad experience with it.

I believe that they did have an odor but I of course laundered them before use and they were fine. I have several sets, as I eat tons of fresh produce daily and I would be lost without them!

No,but one bottle I got there must have been a capsule busted and it they smelled a lot like fish, but no aftertaste or burping.

There may be a fine white residue lining the inside of the bottle which is added to keep the gelcaps from sticking in moist conditions. This is normal. If the capsules are stuck together, or your dusty residue is heavy or not white, send it back.

this is a lot less smelly than the typical omega 3 gel capsules for animals, especially the dog version. I squeeze the contents of one onto the top of tinned food for three cats, and slightly mix it in and they don't seem to notice it. Twice a day. I do an entire capsule and the same way with my dog and his tinned food, twice daily. Hope it works for yours!

No odor. They are in a large gel cap that you swallow so you don't taste anything. I only take one a day even though the recommended dose is two a day. I think they've helped the dryness/irritation in my eyes when I wear contacts. I was wearing my contacts only three days in a row, then glasses for a couple days. I've been wearing my contacts much more since I've started taking these. I have less fluctuation in my vision too.

That is the odor of pure Black Cumin Seed oil. It will also burn your throat a bit when you swallow it. Olive oil is the same way if it's really 100% pure, which most of it isn't now days and has been mixed with other oils, except if you are fortunate enough to buy it coming from Italy, which I do believe Amazon sells also. You might like the Black Seed in capsules better if this flavor bothers you.

When I smell the bottle it has an odor, but the capsule doesn't. I have never opened a capsule. The bottle should have a date on the bottom. I have been using them for a couple of years probably, and have never had a problem.

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.

Spices and herbs in a capsule can emit or give off odd odors and tastes. Curcumin comes from the spice turmeric which has it's own distinctive odor and flavor. You may be calling it "mold" as you haven't equated it with turmeric yet. If you have any turmeric around go get a pinch, rubs between your fingers and sniff.

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