    Posted by hckrseekr on October 21, 2022 at 11:18 am

    I had Hydrolyzed Collagen Marine Collagen one year ago
    since that time I’ve never used it till now
    when I opened the container a dead fish like odor burst in my nose
    my question is:
    Is this the normal odor of Fish collagen or I have to get rid of it?

    I actually bought Marine Collagen too and it does have fishy odour. 
    Even the website says that :

    Please note: this product is derived from fish scales and naturally has a slight, musky-fishy odour. Use of a fragrance may be required depending upon the amount used in the finished product.

    So if it is similar product, it might be ok. Just check expiration date?
