No not "horse size" pills. I have a difficult time taking pills. This "Magnesium Taurate" 125 mg. is easy to swallow.

There is 120mg (30%RDA) of magnesium (as magnesium glycinate) and 10mg ascorbyl palmitate (fat-soluble vitamin C-daily value not established. Other ingredients: vegetarian capsule (cellulose, water). Recommendations: 1-4 capsules daily, in divided doses, with meals. All of this info is on the bottle. For more info I suggest you contact manufacturer "pure encapsulations. inc." I find these vitamins to be superior to all the others I have used. It is easy to regulate dosage as your bowels get watery if you take too many. They control (stop) muscle spasms in legs. Many vitamins list the amount of milligrams in the recommended dosage on the front of the container, then on the back they tell you to take 2 or more tablets to reach that amount of milligrams. Example: One brand I was using said 400mg on the front, then I discovered that was the amount in 2 tablets. I ordered the 400mg tabs so I could cut them in half. I couldn't understand why my muscle spasms returned, then found out I was only taking 1/2 of what I thought I was taking. Pure Encapsulation Magnesium does not list the mg on front of container (120mg) The information is on the back and each dosage is only 1 tablet. I take 4 a day for a total of 480mg throughout the day -no more muscle spasms.

We just recently (a few days ago) made a switch from 120 capsules to a 180 capsule count. The milligram count is the exact same so in reality no one has been short changed. You probably purchased the 120 count and then checked back and saw 180 now. But again we assure they are both a full 30 days supply. Thank youIsland Vibrance

Go to SwansonVitamins.com and download their Size Guide. The Magnesium Capsules are a "size 0" and are a typical capsule. I could swallow them, but I open them and add to my Smoothie in the morning.

According to the package there are 113 "slightly rounded" 1/2 tsp servings in a 250g bag. I take a level 1/2 tsp per day so perhaps that will provide you with a fairly accurate way to guess at the servings per container :-). Because I don't like the taste of product, I fill size 0 capsules and take it that way. I can tell you for sure that there is almost exactly a quarter teaspoon of magnesium powder in each capsule. I was surprised at that. Even with the added cost of the capsules....approx 8 mils each...in my opinion it's absolutely the best way to take the stuff....less hassle, easy to take along on trips, no taste. Hope this helped.

I wouldn't call them horse pills, as I have a difficult time swallow pills. These would be medium sized. For me, if I allow them to sit in my mouth for about 20 seconds with some water, they soften up a bit, and I find them easier to swallow.

My 1,000 mg are large capsule shaped gel pills. they are a muddy brown color. I have only had pill shaped ones when they were 200 mg.

The bottle does not state. It simply says serving size 1 capsule which contains 120 mg of magnesium glycinate per capsule with 10 mg ascorbyl palmitate (fat-soluble vitamin C) ~ other ingredients: vegetarian capsule (cellulose, water). This was recommended to me by a health care professional over ALL other magnesiums on that is available over the counter (he says those others will give a laxative effect). This was recommended to me for relaxation at bedtime and it works.

They are 1300mg each. Supplement facts say serving size is 2 softgels (2.6g) so that's two 1300mg capsules.

These are standard size capsule...not tiny but not extra large...however I really think they're a waste of money, and I have studied and researched nutritional supplements for 25 yrs. Hope that helps!

Hello Carrie, the mg is 5. They seem to work faster than pill form. I found after a couple of doses I suffered from severe headaches. I only take melatonin when I cannot sleep once or twice a month so did not use habitually.

Yes, 100 mg....After ordering this and additional research found that it has to much calcium..I have to finish the bottle I purchased before. so I thinkl I will double up on taking two at breakfast and dinner..next time I will do more research prior to ordering. Hope this helps

They are definitely what I would call a "larger" pill...but they are slightly coated, so I don't have any trouble swallowing them. I highly recommend this brand (Carlson) because they don't put a bunch of junk/fillers in their vitamins. And this chelated magnesium is great stuff. Because it's "chelated" your body will actually absorb/utilize it.

Well, these are not the smallest of capsules, nor the largest. I would say these are in the 50th percentile of size, in other words, bigger than 1/2 of the capsules I've seen. They are not the scary 'horse pills'. My wife has trouble swallowing large pills, but has taken these without too much complaint. I find that if i take a big drink of water it helps them go down. Good luck!

I'm not sure what you're asking. Bottle itself:500 milligrams in 120 count bottle. Shipping: small enough to be placed in the mailbox and not on the porch. NOTE: if you are just starting out...may I suggest the 200 milligram 250 tablet count bottle. Start small if you are just starting to introduce a magnesium citrate supplement into your diet.

this is in correction to my first answer. I thought we were talking about vitamin B but this is Magnesium we're speaking about. They are LARGE WHITE TABLETS!
