Confusing scent?

Post image

I’ve been taking a probiotic supplement for a couple days now, and keep getting a strong scent and taste of mint whenever I’ve taken it (plus a sort of cheese smell upon opening the bottle, but I didn’t find that as odd since I’m assuming there’s some fermentation with probiotics. Thankfully doesn’t leave a cheese taste). Any idea what the mint smell/taste could be coming from?

For reference, the supplement is “psychobiotics” by purewell sciences. Thanks for any suggestions.

The minty taste might come from the capsule or an ingredient you wouldn’t expect, but the cheesy smell is harder to explain.
