Warning Review: Twinlab’s Omega-3 Cardio Krill Oil has a really bad fishy smell!

The fishy odor of Twinlab’s Omega-3 Cardio Krill Oil is REALLY BAD. I advise against buying this product because the capsules reek of old fish you might find in the trash. Even just opening the bottle releases the smell of garbage-can fish.

There is no excuse for this, because at least one other brand (NOW) carries a krill capsule supplement that’s odorless. Yes, odorless.

The reason I didn’t buy the NOW brand is because I can’t find it at any of the Whole Foods stores in the city, and I had run out of the supply I had bought online.

So I decided to go the cheaper and more convenient route when I spotted the Twinlab Omega-3 Cardio Krill Oil at a Sprouts store.

I figured, Okay, it’s right here in front of me, no hassle with online ordering. But boy, was I in for a very disappointing surprise when I opened the bottle and took out one of the very stinky capsules.

These krill capsules smell so bad that I threw out the bottle after taking about 15 of the capsules (one a day).

Shame on Twinlab for not using the technology that the NOW brand uses. I will be buying the NOW krill capsules from now on.

Do not buy Twinlab’s Omega-3 Cardio Krill Oil capsules unless you want a whiff of dead beached fish every time you take one of the capsules.
