What is a ScentCert?
A ScentCert is a small, all-natural scented insert that drops straight into your Vitals⁺ bottle and makes the whole thing smell (and taste) better.
That's it. No change to your capsules, no change to your routine. You drop it in, close the lid, and carry on.
Why does my Vitals⁺ smell fishy when it's vegan?
Good question — and no, there's no fish in there. 🌊
The omega-3 in Vitals⁺ is DSM's life's™OMEGA, grown from sustainably farmed algae. It's 100% vegan and completely fish-free. What it isn't is odourless, because concentrated omega-3 carries a distinctive marine smell whatever it's made from.
Here's the thing people find surprising: algae is where fish get their omega-3 in the first place. We've simply gone straight to the source and skipped the fish entirely. So while there's nothing fishy in your bottle, the oil still comes from the ocean — and it smells like it.
It's completely normal, it isn't a sign your capsules have turned, and it's exactly the problem the ScentCert was made to solve.
How does a ScentCert actually work?
Around 80% of what we experience as taste is actually smell.
So rather than trying to change the capsule, the ScentCert works on the air around it. Sitting in the bottle, it gently scents the space your capsules live in — so when you open the lid, you get Peppermint Twist rather than the sea. Because so much of taste rides on smell, that carries through to how the capsule tastes when you take it.
It's a small thing. It makes a daily habit feel considerably nicer.
What's in it?
All-natural and FEMA-GRAS certified, which is the food industry's standard for flavour ingredients recognised as safe.
It's also non-GMO, vegan, kosher and halal — so it holds to the same standards as everything else in the bottle.
How long does one last?
Around six months. After that it'll have given up most of its scent and it's time for a fresh one.
How do I get one?
Head to your account, where you'll find ScentCert available to add to your next order for £1.50.
It'll arrive with your next delivery rather than as a separate parcel, which means no extra shipping, and one less thing turning up at your door.
Can I buy a ScentCert on its own?
Not on its own, no — it comes along with an order rather than shipping solo.
Will it change my Vitals⁺?
No. Your capsules, the formula inside them and the way you take them are all exactly the same. The ScentCert only changes the bottle they live in.
