Hi Mysticknight, I’m so happy to hear that Parasym Plus is helping you! As far as the smell goes, one of the ingredients (a necessary ingredient) is sulpha based. Sulpha is not a lovely odor… lol You want to be sure the pills are kept in a cool place, and that the dessicant pack remains in the bottle! I wouldn’t put it in a pill box, but keep the pills in their own bottle. I don’t notice the smell at all, honestly, but one mom I knew put the capsules in a bigger capsule for her young daughter who noticed the smell. Empty capsules can be purchased at most health food stores or on-line (I love Amazon for those sorts of things!). Any capsule bigger than a “00” should do it. Keep feeling better! 🙂
