This capsule is very hard in comparison to what I have used in the past. Could they be old? N4xa-f45c

The bottles I got weren't hard. They're normal soft gels, just a little squishy.

Make sure the machine is clean and there is no residue. I have the Cap M Quick machine and have not had any problem using these Capsules. I dont see any desiccant in mine either but have not had a bad batch. Try a new batch and if it happens again, then maybe its the machine.

Not for me, but I never have had issues with such things. They are large pills, but rounded and soft (semi squishy--liquidy inside), so I think an average person can have them with fair ease.

I had the same problem on a bottle I ordered back in May 2014. They didn't have the right coating and tasted so bitter/sour that I choked on one. I still have the bottle because it was too late to return them but I might try calling the manufacturer for a replacement. I just stopped taking them.

I've been using these capsules for about 18yrs and my best response to your question is, I don't pay any attention to any date for these capsules because they are expensive plus I've never had any reaction to "older" capsules. I use them no matter what because they awesome.

Sorry, no. The capsules for the machine are specific and coded. Nothing else will work.

The caps are really, really hard to close. Hold the bottle tight and put the palm of your hand flat against the top of the cap and press down hard. Twist the cap a little and it will "snuggle" in. It is difficult every time but once you get the knack you will get used to it. You'd think they'd know better than to make it so hard but it is good fish oil so I'll take a difficult cap over a bad product.

I don't have the capsules, mine is the syrup and I use a dropper to take it sublingual. From what i know you , you shouldn't open capsules, its best to take them as they are. I have that problem too but since its only one pill twice a day, I don't think about it and just put some water in my mouth first, then the pill and then swallow it all.

My answer is the same as the other foks. You got a bad batch and like someone stated, 1 could have opened up and air exposed as this can happen with capsules. Please return as you do have a money back guarentee. I have no issues with any of this companies products. Hope all our answers help you, just return and get another one.

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.

It's definitely the old bottle and you can no longer get the old stuff. The new pills are quite large and have an orange tint to them..hopefully the seller is honest and did not fill the bottle with the new stuff. That being said; if you have taken the old pills, wait 2 weeks-1 month before taking the new pills and you should get great results with the new stuff. Good luck!

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

I have never used a capsule machine...I've always just filled the empty capsules myself...sorry I am not able to help you.

Hello K. Mershon, These are not hard pills nor liquid gel capsules, but rather are a dry powder capsule. Feel free to ask other questions, should you have any. Enjoy! Jeff =)

In my opinion, I don't believe it has the same effect. The capsule is not very big easy to swallow.

Sorry for tje delayed answer. I personally hadnt notice a bitterness but its possible. I have been taking them for a while so Im used to whatever taste the capsules have.

They are very hard. I have never tried. It might be easier to partially let them dissolve. But if you had a pill cutter it would probably work
