How big are the pills? I have a narrowed esophagus and have difficulty with things the size, say, of a good multivitamin.

this brand is a little larger than a multivitamin,I believe it would be hard to swallow if someone had problems but the pills can always be cut in half.

Given that this is a serving of calcium, the pills are not small. However, they dissolve very easily. In the presence of water or heat, the tablet basically starts to melt.

I have to agree with the other answers these are not small pills but they do have a smooth coating that makes them a little easier to swallow. I have a son who cannot swallow pills and he would not be able to swallow these even with the smooth coating.

The calcium pills are at least that large and maybe just a little bit bigger. They do look like you could cut them in half if you needed to, but the way they are now, they are quite large. Hope this helps.

The pills are approximately 3/4 in long and 1/4 in wide. The outside coating is very smooth making it easy to swallow but it may still be difficult for you.

They are a pretty good size (meaning not small). I don't particularly have difficulty swallowing, but if you do, they may be a challenge. If not, go for them. They seem to work for me!

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!

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!

Not sure how to explain the size. I have a lot of trouble swallowing vitamins and these capsules have never been a problem.

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.

They are about 2cm (less than an inch long) capsules. Not "fat" either. A decent, easy to swallow size.

The capsules are about 3/4 " long by less than A quarter inch thick. But if you have trouble swallowing large pills you could place it in a spoonful of pudding!!

About the size of a Tylenol two part capsule, but a little fatter. Put the gelcap in your mouth and depress it just a little bit with your tongue. That will flatten it, if you have trouble swallowing large pills. Don't flatten it too much or it will be too wide. If you have an Esophageal Stricture, I would not take them. That is when the esophagus is narrowed at the upper part and the gelcap may get stuck. It will eventually break loose, but it is a very stressful ordeal while it lasts. Hope this helps......:)

These are relatively large capsules. Could be trouble for someone with difficulty swallowing. I take with a full glass of water.

They are roughly the same size as your normal multivitamin. So kinda large in my book.

About the same size as most multi-vitamin. They are about 3/4 inch long. They are oblong with a smooth coating. I don't have any problem swallowing them.

I just measured a capsule that I had. it measured 3/4 of an inch long by 1/4 inch wide. I always used orange juice when taking them and they always went down easy.

They are a large capsules. I don't have any problems with them. However, if you have trouble swallowing, that may be a problem.

The pills are what I would call "medium" size. They are also soft enough that I had no trouble at all in swallowing them.

It's a little over 3/4 of an inch long and a little less than 1/4 inch high. It's a standard pill size smaller than a multivitamin. Hard to really compare it to something but it's not a horse sized pill, but not as small as a Vitamin E pill. Regular size would best describe it. They are easy to swallow, but the outside does have some Maca powder on it. It doesn't taste bad, tastes a bit like coffee or tea in my opinion. I easily swallow it with about 6-7 other pills in the morning.
