Has anyone tried the Softgel version? Are they larger than fish oil pills?

I have tried the softgels, however I can't remember for sure if they are larger than fish oil softgels. I seem to recall them being the largest softgel I have ever seen. That being said, they are seamless and super shiny and I never had a problem swallowing them. They are on the pliable side and the shiny quality, I believe, reflects that it is also slippery. Sorry this doesn't clarify as much as gives my impression of them. It has been several years since I have taken mag citrate in this form.

The ones we purchased were rather large softgels. However, we stopped buying them online (and paying extra for shipping) when we discovered that the Walgreens store nearby carries the NatureMade brand and they are almost always on sale (buy one, get one free). The NatureMade softgels are also large but not quite as big as the fish oil softgels that we take. Hope that helps.

HI, The capsules are not big. The tablets maybe cheaper, but the capsules may dissolve better. Happiness...

I use the softgels when I go on vacation. They are no larger than fish oil pills. I find I need to take 500 mg a day to keep me regular. So I need to take 4 -5 softgels a day. It is less expensive to use the powder. I put a heaping tsp. in a mug of lemon water in the morning when I first get up and usually within an hour of drinking it, I am cleansed! I've been doing this for over 10 years now. It works for me! I have only used the NOW brand because I feel they are a reputable company that produces a quality product.

To figure out the size, I took the fact that three of them contain 2600mg of flax and fish oils, divide that by three and you get each gelcap at about 850mg. That size is a bit smaller than the average 1000mg fish oil gelcap, so that's a plus.

These are large but not like a more dry chalky pill. Since are fish oil like they slide down pretty easy for me. After you take the 3 TG's for 2-3 weeks you notice changes. Before taking the Super Critical Omegas I had joint pain that required pain meds and now I rarely take anything for pain. Well worth it to me.

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?

Yes. My most recent auto delivery was capsules instead of the softgels. There was a strong fishy smell when I opened the bottle and the capsule tastes fishy. I'm hoping this is not a permanent change. If so, I will be searching for another brand.

This Fish Oil is Consumer labs "Approved" and also "Lowest cost fish oil per EPA/DHA" . They found 191 EPA and 128 DHA per softgel. Hope that helps!

Everything is relative but since they contain a lot of EPA and DHA they are pretty large, as most other capsules that holds a larger portion of the fatty acids. You can of course burst them and swallow the oil, but then you will get the fishy aftertaste so that is not recommended if you don't like that taste. If you take the pills with either a glass of water or some food, like yoghurt or similar fluid food, then it's quite east to swallow them. Personally I take them with a glass of water and then the capsules goes down easily and don't taste anything at all.

It is a normal size capsule, smaller than a fish oil. I don't have trouble taking it.

They are about an inch long. I take fish oil supplements and they are about the same size.

They are medium to large in size, but definitely not large like fish oil caps. I use a trinket case I purchased at Michaels to carry my vits when traveling. definitely better than the pill case

I'm trying to think of something to compare it to. They are much smaller than an Advil Liquigel. They are pretty small, in my opinion. Smaller than all my other supplements.

When you want to know the size so you can compare it with other softgels you may have, just look at the total oil contained in the softgel. The label here says 1.3grams, which is 1300mg. The average fish oil is about 1,000-1200, so these are pretty big. BUT, as has been said, they are squishy and go down easy.

They are approximately an inch long and 3/8's-inches wide. Not overly big but not small. Easier to swallow if you're eating a meal when you take them and swallow them down with your food. My answer is referring to the fish oil capsules, not the multivitamins.

If you have problems with large pills, you will have a problem with this dosage size. That said, however, they are well worth it if you get past the problem. The ether ester versions of Omega 3s keep me awake, and 2400 mg is very hard to get from most brands. Mind over matter: taking them may actually help to decongest/deconstrict, making it easier to take them...

Similar to fish oil capsules you find at Costco. My ND recommended as a good product. They are too big for me to take twice a day, but you may be able to handle the size. Or maybe try the liquid ones. There are some with a lemon flavor.
