I have had two packs now so I can say it is not a fluke there are not actually 30 tablets but in fact 29 so there will always be a day where you have to take 1 tablet instead of 2, considering these cost quite a bit of money there could be some extra checking to ensure customer have the correct amount they are paying for. The smell and taste is really bad and there seems to be no way around it, as soon as I open the bottle the smell does stay in the room for some time, I also have to take the tablets with juice just to cover the taste. Other than that there is nothing bad about it.
