Does it smell bad - like doggy doo? In my experience valerian has worked for me - but I had to double bag the bottle

Def smells like poop 💩 and is very noticeable after I open the bottle, but I am not able to smell them if the bottle is capped. I have to wash my hands (and sometimes around my mouth) after handling the capsules. I didn’t have any digestive issues nor did I burp poop air. Thankfully, the stank doesn’t linger for long. They seem to help with anxiety and it took a few weeks before I noticed a difference. If the stank is proportional to their effectiveness and you can tolerate the smell, then these will hopefully help you.
