How large are the capsules? I have a difficult time swallowing large pills. Anyone have a ruler/capsule handy? :) I'd greatly appreciate width/length.

Actually they are 3/4 inch long and 1/4 wide so to speak, but they are really easy to swallow with a glass of water. Sort of like the size of a regular vitamin.

They Veggie capsules about 3/4 in long. I have a harder time swallowing hard solid pills but these are easy to swallow.

Hi Mrs. T:) The best way is one at a time, and a lots of water! A lots of people doesn't know that water is the best way of fighting obesity and the best way of loosing weight! I think this pills are awesome!!!

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.

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?

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!

They are capsules. I would say they seem fairly large, but I had no difficulty swallowing them. You might.

They are small. My partner has problems swallowing large pills, but no problem with swallowing this one.

The capsules are about the size of a multivitamin. However, they are slippery so the go down pretty easily with water. Do not try to swallow without liquid or they might get caught in your throat.

I placed it on a measuring tape and it measures 7/8". Almost one inch. I am the same way when it comes to swallowing big tablets or capsules. I have to admit at times I was unable to swallow it. I just had to drink lots of water. But I believe it was because I make myself nervous. But these capsules have changed my life. I no longer have my bone spur on my foot. It was worth trying. Now I can walk with no pain. I purchased these December 2012 and I still have 22 capsules left. I only take them every once in a while so my bone spur does not swell up and come back. I hope my answer helps.

Hi Keith -- Yes, they are pretty big...basically an inch long and are softgel capsules...Im like you, I don't like the large pills but for some odd reason I find taking it with "milk" (for me) makes it easier to go down instead of just plain water and Im a BIG water drinker...just I think the milk kinda helps mask it for me not that it tastes bad or anything like that but if you truly can not take the large pills I believe all the fish oil pills are large my only suggestion would be to maybe try that other stuff thats called Fish Krill or just Krill (something like that)....I understand the little "red pills" are much much easier to swallow and just as good...you may want to try that..hope this helps:) Hi Keith -- Yes, they are pretty big...basically an inch long and are softgel capsules...Im like you, I don't like the large pills but for some odd reason I find taking it with "milk" (for me) makes it easier to go down instead of just plain water and Im a BIG water drinker...just I think the milk kinda helps mask it for me not that it tastes bad or anything like that but if you truly can not take the large pills I believe all the fish oil pills are large my only suggestion would be to maybe try that other stuff thats called Fish Krill or just Krill (something like that)....I... » Read More Hi Keith -- Yes, they are pretty big...basically an inch long and are softgel capsules...Im like you, I don't like the large pills but for some odd reason I find taking it with "milk" (for me) makes it easier to go down instead of just plain water and Im a BIG water drinker...just I think the milk kinda helps mask it for me not that it tastes bad or anything like that but if you truly can not take the large pills I believe all the fish oil pills are large my only suggestion would be to maybe try that other stuff thats called Fish Krill or just Krill (something like that)....I understand the little "red pills" are much much easier to swallow and just as good...you may want to try that..hope this helps:) « Show Less

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

These pills are not much bigger than regular aspirin. I don't have a swallowing condition, but I find them no problem. Hope this helps. Dan

They are about the size of a 325mg asprin. I have not had an incident of the pill sticking in my throat while swallowing them. I hope this helps you. If not, contact me again. joyce

They measure 13/16th long and 5/16th diameter. Try buying the size 3 capsules and filling them out of the bigger capsules. This also makes it easier to take a smaller dose. Hope this helps.

They are medium to large sized capsules, but I don't find them difficult to swallow personally and I have taken much larger capsules. They do have a brief sour taste when on your tongue. Hope that helps.

It has been a while, but as I recall, they were fairly large. My dog was taking them so I don't recall too much about the pill size. Sorry!

Normal size capsules, easy to swallow. I don't see a difference, though, I just started the pills about a week or two ago. Good Luck!!

I also have trouble taking pills, but these are not difficult to swallow. They're roughly the size of a peanut.
