Hi julie,I have two teenager,and they don't seem to have problem swallow it,and if they do I would coat the pill with butter or margarine.You could also take the capsule apart and mix it with their favorite drinks.

If you go to the Swanson website and look at their pill size guide, they're probably a just little bit larger than the 0 size (https://www.swansonvitamins.com/en_US/pdf/SizeGuide.pdf). I do not have any problem swallowing these (been gulping vitamins a long time) - however I have to watch with the Strontium vitamins in this kit, not to swallow more than 1 at a time (they are a tad larger than the raw calcium). I've found that if I take a gulp of water, and then take them one at a time, I don't have any problems swallowing.

They are not capsules; they are caplets and they are larger than asprin kind of like a 1000 ml. vitamin C. I take both of them. I want you to know that I don't have trouble swallowing pills. Hope this was helpful.

They are very overage in size. Honestly, I have never taken them. I ordered them for my mother. She was taking pills and did not say anything special about them.

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 think that they are all big. I never have issues swallowing pills. But I had to space these out. They are big.

Hi Wanda, The B-100 Capsules are fairly large - they measure almost 1" and are kind of fat. My husband used to choke on them and now he chews them up. I don't have a problem with them, but if you have trouble swallowing larger capsules, they might be a little large. There is a picture of the capsule on the bottom of the bottle that shows the "Actual Capsule Size".

Linda, these are caps that are small. But if you have trouble swallowing pills you might try taking them with yogurt or a soda. I've heard that they help. GOOD LUCK !!!

Hello, to answer your question, no. The capsules are not small and the instructions require that you take four pills each time that you use them. If you have a problem taking pills I would imagine these would be tough on you. If its worth the hassle and pain of taking them, they really do work well. Hope this helps!

Hi Hi Winn. They are small to medium size. I usually have to take pills one at a time but these I can take 4 at a time. All the Best.

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're big. I'd call them Horse pills. Do not buy these because you will have a tough time swallowing them. Very unpleasant product to swallow. Wish they would make them smaller.

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.

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?

They are big. I was like you with swallowing large pills and was caught off guard by the size. If it helps, they're soft.

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.

they are large...nearly .75 inches - not hard to swallow unless you have trouble taking larger pills - would avoid then - they are a gelatin like pill/oblong instead of a rough pill or capsule
