Hi Curezone - I need help in resolving a question/problem I have. It seems that taking certain supplements (esp. in relatively-high quantities) makes me smell - the odor gets into my clothes and everything. But it doesn't even require me taking an exceptionally-large amount of fish oil for this to happen. Whenever I take the standard, daily-serving-sized amount of Carlson's fish oil (1 teaspoon per day) - I get a body odor...or rather, my perspiration seems to get this strong, "rancid oil" smell to it and it ends up being embedded in my clothing. Even when I cut down on the frequency of the dose (taking it say, 3 or 4 times per week instead of taking it everyday) - the smell always ends up in my clothes.

Does anyone else have this problem - does fish oil or any other supplement give your perspiration an odor? (I've noticed an odor when I take certain amounts of other supplements, too.) I just want to get an idea of how "normal" this is. I wonder if this problem I have is indicative of some problem in my metabolism (perhaps a congested liver or something). I mean, is this "supposed" to happen?

Actually, my mother has been the one who has brought this matter to my attention - she's complained about the way I smell, or the way my clothes smell. It's gotten to the point where she's banned me from taking fish oil as long as I'm living in her home. Her complaints haven't been pleasant to hear, but I suppose I should be thankful to her for bringing this matter to my attention.
