What is the size of the capsule please? Would it be easy for a petite 96 year old woman to swallow? Thank you.

Always drink plenty of liquid (water is probably best) when taking a capsule. I've had no trouble swallowing these capsules.

The capsule is a standard size. I measure it at 7/8" long. I find them very easy to swallow. Cranactin also makes a sugar-free syrup that might be more appropriate for this woman. Google: Solaray - CranActin Syrup Cran 315mg - 2oz Liquid

The capsule is about 3/4 inch long and the diameter of a pencil. Rounded and smooth. I've had no issues with swallowing it and I do have problems with some pills. I'd give them a try. I guess one could also open the capsules and add to food or drink, but I don't know that for certain. I usually take only one capsule per day as a preventative measure.

I think so but only the person can decide that. It is medium size and soft.

it is about the size of Citracal Calcium tablet. Since it is a capsule, it is easier to swallow. I think you should call Vitaminlife at 866-998-8855 to send you some free sample. Then order the bigger bottle thru Amazon. It didn't work for me so it is just sitting in my medicine cabinet. Good Luck.

They do not show the size on the box and the work "Petite"is misleading. They are actually large and not easy to swallow. Hope that helps!

The capsules are just over three quarters of an inch long (a standard size). They are easy to pull apart and the powder in them has a mild taste. You might try simply mixing it in a smoothie, or even a flavored yogurt.

They are not large. They are the regular capsule size. I take 2 at a time and have no problem swallowing them.

I find them very easy to take but I don't have too much trouble taking pills except for very large ones like fish oil. Anyway, as to size, these are smaller than your average daily vitamin (say, One-A-Day) and the capsules (not tablets) are shaped in such a way that they go down easier. To be specific, they are 3/4 of an inch long and 1/4 of an inch wide. If you have trouble taking them with water (as I do with some things), I recommend taking a good-sized bite of food, chewing it completely, then tossing one of these in your mouth and swallowing. This technique in often used in hospitals for people that have trouble swallowing and for kids, especially with soft foods like bananas or applesauce. Hope this helps! And hope you purchase them! They really do make a difference and in my opinion are on of the best broad-spectrum digestive enzymes out there.

The capsules are very small, I think the smallest capsules I've ever taken. They are easy to swallow.

Hi - they are capsule sized and not "chokey" like big pills - they are fine to swallow in my opinion because they are slippery. Hope this helps! Rebecca

The capsules are medium in size ( 7/8"). I find it easy to swallow and i take two at the same time without any problem.

I take it that you have an issue with swallowing. The pill is 7/8 of an inch long and 1/4 of an inch wide, I hope that you find this helpful, also the pills have a coating, so that they don't dissolve immed., when you put them into your mouth.

The cap. is about 3/4 inch long about 1/4 wide easy to swallow. I have problems swallowing pills also but these have been easy for me . they are not fat ones that stick in your throat.

I say, average. I'm quite elderly and I find them easier to swallow than many other capsules.

Sharon, the pills are easy for me to swallow. My doctor had started me out with so ethi g from their office but it was huge and had a really strong after taste. I found these pills and they are half the size of the recommended ones". I would say they are less than 1/2inch in length and about 1/3 inch in diameter. They go down smoothly. Hope this helps as they really seem to do the job.

It's only a C-1 size 7/8" x 1/4" capsule. They are very easy to swallow. I take mine in the morning 3 and 2 at a time and I wash them down with some liquid.

I am now taking the Doctor's Best Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM Capsule. I believe it is the same size as the one you are asking about and measures 15/16" in length by 5/16" diameter. I take two at a time and have had no trouble swallowing them with water.
