In order to take this stuff, I have to pop the softgel and put the goo on apple sauce or pudding....beeeeyuk. I also have to chew my potassium pill, since it is so honking big, I can't swallow it. I have to 'work up to' it every day.

It would be great if there was some company that did custom formulas....you just check the box for what you want, and they mix it and you put it in a smoothie....hmmm....smoothie....there is an idea! If it came pre-packaged in a smoothie for ease....hmm.

I will dump this stuff in a smoothie. Now I need a new blender. Caring for myself is too big of a job....I have others to care for!

That's actually a pretty good idea. Right now all my "pills" get sorted into a couple of those tubes with the days of the week on them, and then I have to swallow 1-4 at a time before and with meals - it gets worse all the time.

Only thing is we still gotta take that B-12 on empty... and I'm off anything I could make a smoothie from. Some of these would taste terrible ground/mixed up anyway...

Ya got me thinkin' though...

vitacost.com sent me an authorization number so that I can return all the "bad" krill oil. They said they will refund the krill oil (not the shipping).

This is not such a bad outcome. A hassle for me, but still . . . .

There have been two major recalls from Big Pharm (McNeil and Pfizer) who used empty plastic containers that somehow absorbed a terrible chemical (fungicide) from storage, and when they were filled with drug, and sealed, the fumes reacted with the contents and bingo...

The first recalls for Tylenol etc products started 2 yrs ago, and
the recent Lipitor by Pfizer was just a few days ago.

It is possible the empty plastic jars used by Jarrow had a similar problem.

Any weird off odors coming off drugs when you open the bottle should be returned and not used.

This could be more than a leaky capsule or broken one. It could also be rancid odors from being stored in temps that are high.
One never knows what happens during transit etc.
