I've been taking these for a week, the smell and the taste of the capsules makes me gag - suggestions for making them more palpable?

I have no problem. Don't breathe and just swallow with a glass of water - you won't smell or taste anything.

No problem here...maybe there was a "spill" in your bottle and one came open???

The smell isn't the greatest but since my hair is falling out and my nutritionist believes this supplement might help, I am going for it! I don't find the taste to be bad at all. I take them with a protein drink which probably overcomes it. I'd encourage you to stick with it, the benefit outweighs the short offensiveness.

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.

I've never tasted anything when taking the capslues. The conents may have a taste, curcunin is a bland ingredient in turmeric, which is used in curry

Mine were capsules too. And I'm not a fan. The capsule has a much stronger fishy taste.

I have the same problem, these are smaller than most vits I take, I have never gagged or choked on them. They are capsules, not hard pill, so easier for me.

They aren't really big - They are oblong. I wouldn't advise crushing them because they don't taste or smell very good. I guess you could cut them in half if need be. I usually swallow then pretty quickly so that I won't get any of the taste in my mouth - they really are nasty BUT they do the trick. I have noticed a big difference in my energy level. So they are well worth the stink !!

I gag when I smell these pills. I gag when I swallow them. And I taste them every time I burp for the next few hours.

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

I wouldn't say that. I've had many different vitamins and other supplements which have either been far more difficult to swallow or had a much worse taste. So I try to swallow them all quickly. This particular supplement smells a lot like the spice. And I don't savor that by its lonesome either. Not sure what to tell you. But I think it works for me. So I've gotten a few different bottles now. And will reorder. Good luck. Hope it gets better for you. And if there really is mold on it I'm sure they would replace it for you.

the capsules are fairly big - 7/8 inches long, about 1/4 inch in diameter. i take it at night before bedtime, and have to be sure to eat something afterwards to make sure they (2 capsules) don't lodge in my esophagus. i bet you could open the capsules and put powder in applesauce. they have almost no odor or taste. (with elderly people in hospitals, this is how they give all meds.)

I work for the manufacture of Mag 07 and I have the same problem with the capsules! We have a powder that you mix with water and drink or if you already purchased the capsules you can break them open into a glass of water and take it that way.

I open up the capsules and put them in bone broth, soups, and muscle meat dishes that I make. I haven't taken them, but my family doesn't seem to notice anything funny with the flavor of the food. I think they would be as easy to take as any other soft capsule vitamin.

It has no taste but it's a very heavy liquid so it may make you gag. It's more the thought of it that makes me gag. I immediately put mint gum in my mouth after I take it and that helps. Also, if you only take one tablespoon it's not bad- it's just when you take 2 or 3 that it gets a little unpleasant.

You can try 4 things: >Use a little less water than called for >Add some cornstarch (it won't affect the taste) >Add some flour >Stir in some real mayonnaise as needed

No taste or smell. Theses are a white capsules. I've been taking them for a few years and never had a bad taste or smell.

They are little on the large size. I agree with the perdon that suggested open the capsule and mix the powder into something. I personally haven't done it. What about try taking it with a spoon of applesauce? That I have done and it works. Good luck! One thing I can say for sure these pills work wonders for me!!!

I take several other supplements that taste far worse, so I cannot be the judge of that. They do have a vinegar and earthy taste to them though. Could just be the gelatin capsule absorbing the smells inside the bottle.
