Hi there. I'm thinking of buying these for my grandma, but she has trouble swallowing pills. Would you say that these are particularly large?

I am a 61 year old grandmother. They are not too large and have a coating that makes them a bit easier for swallowing. Warm water or a dark berry juice helps. Hope this helps.

I have a hard time swallowing pills so I grind them up in my morning smoothie. These are coated and are probably easy to swallow but I have trouble just looking at them and contemplating it. They are 7/8" long and torpedo shaped, That said, from the research I've done, this is a good brand and has the ingredients in it that the label says it does. also, includes MSM

It is about the size of Centrum Multi-vitamins. So they are fairly large. Never tried to grind or take in parts. They are coated, but I have no issue swallowing. Hope that helps

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.

Yes they are large. I also have a problem swallowing large capsules, I take these capsules with juice so that they go down easier.

I had no trouble swallowing them, but I can take pills with no problem. They weren't real big. Sorry I can't help you with this.

They are not that big. I think they're smaller then normal. Easy to swallow.

Yes. They are about 3/4" long 1/4" wide and almost 1/4" thick. If you have trouble taking large pills, you would have trouble with these.

they are not as big as some, but are a bit bigger then I would like them to be...one thing that really helps me get my supplements down (I too have a hard time sometimes with pills they stick), but first swallow some liquid, then put capsule in your mouth put in more liquid swish it enough that capsule is wet and then look down when you swallow as capsule pop up in the water where as tablets sink...this will help it go up, over and down your throat then of course finish with more liquid...hope this helps! This is a great product though really helps with gas, bloat and inability to digest food...:) they are not as big as some, but are a bit bigger then I would like them to be...one thing that really helps me get my supplements down (I too have a hard time sometimes with pills they stick), but first swallow some liquid, then put capsule in your mouth put in more liquid swish it enough that capsule is wet and then look down when you swallow as capsule pop up in the water where as tablets sink...this will help it go up, over and down your throat then of course finish with more liquid...hope this helps!

Hi Mary, my husband & I take our majority of supplements from Life Extension (lef.org) which some are extremely expensive even if a member as my husband's cancer Dr. states they are about the only ones tested for quality assurance & getting the real ingredients. These pills are rather large 1in. long & 1/4in.thick, but since they are gel they really slide right down and being as I don't have too big a mouth I have never had any problem swallowing their pills.

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.

The pill size is not huge, but it is not a small pill either. It is about the size of an 800mg ibuprofen if you know that one. I also have problems with very large pills but this one caused me no problems. It occurred to me that the flavor of this medicine might be tolerable, so I chewed one. It has no bad flavor. Just chalky. Perhaps You can chew it if it is too large for You to swallow. It is not unpleasant to chew these but it is not overly difficult to swallow either.

Not sure what to compare them to, but they aren't too big. I don't have any trouble swallowing them. Maybe the size of a multi vitamin. Hope that helps!

Not very large at all. Bout the size of a pea. If you have trouble swallowing, try taking a few drinks of water first, then take the pill.

I have problems swallowing large pills too, but I haven't had a problem taking these.

These are not horse pills. I do have some trouble swallowing large pills and these are on the large side. Capsules are easier than tablets. But I have taken Algae Cal ( along with Strontium boost) and my postmenopausal bones are getting stronger according to my DEXA scan. Certainly worth trying. Maybe you could break them open and take them that way?

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.
