Some lutein products have a bad odor. Do these smell/taste like anything?

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.

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)

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.

I popped one open to see and it seemed rancid, extremely fishy smelling. I have high quality cod liver oil that doesn't taste or smell bad at all.

I find silicone always seems to keep a bit of scent, but there is no transfer to food taste. If I sniff closely, yes I can identify but if I'm just handling to fill and freeze,no. I have not noticed any change in food taste with these, either.

No, I think all vitamins have just weird smells. Not rancid, but they do have a smell. I like the product!

At first I thought it had a slight fish smell but it didn't last n now I don't smell it at all. But the little sample of cold plasma smelled bad. I haven't used it. Just received a new kit so will see how that cold plasma smells. I like the product (sub D) but only see maybe 30-40% improvement.

They smell really bad. Worse than real cigs. But (to me) they taste like the real thing.

No, ours didn't have any smell to them. My mother in law would notice that kind of thing too. Maybe you got a wrong batch? :o( That's terrible though.

I just received my cashews, and they are rancid. I have had raw cashews before and they smell nothing like this. I thought maybe it was just an odd smell, and I ground them and used them in a recipe (as I have in the past with other raw cashews) and it made us all horribly sick. Do not eat them. I have tried contacting Amazon but have not heard anything yet.

The oil that we bought DEFINITELY smells like say, turpentine or kerosene...it's pretty foul smelling stuff..and the taste is just as bad!! I'm buying some more, but this time i'm going to get the gelcaps! My husband has stage IV cancer (lungs & liver) so i'm doing my best to get him well! Smell & taste be darned!

Mine do not have a smell, but they never did. I am very sensitive to smells, so I would have noticed. I would contact amazon and see if you can get a replacement. Maybe you got a bad batch.

It should smell like salmon, a bit fishy, but will taste sweet not rancid if you chew them. My kids and I chew them up and enjoy the taste.

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

I use have used these the last few years and have not had the same problem. I just opened the box I have at home and it has no odor. I don't have an answer of why yours is so pungent. (Bad batch?mildew?)

I have stopped buying that product from Amazon.com and my present supply is from my local drug store. Glad to supply that info if it is relevant to you. Amazon seemed uninterested in suppling my request to provide Preservation with Lutein, instead of Preservation with Arrids and Lutein which provides a smaller amount of Luteins which my opthalamogist prescribed.

I haven't noticed any odors. I use these ALL THE TIME - and everyone loves them. I've never had any bad feedback. The only thing I've noticed is that the inside of the cups become somewhat discolored eventually - but nothing bad.

No , it's not much of any kind if taste. The oils that are in the supppositories are more a oily consistency with no real taste . I hope that helps ! I hope you can leave me what you think they taste like . Scott

No. They are definitely not odorless. But honestly I don't think any of them are that I've come across.
