I'm terrible at taking pills. Are these truly easy to swallow or am I going to have a hard time?

They are very small and very easy to swallow. I too need small capsules because of a Bariatric surgery. This is a great product!

I agree with the other answers. These are just easier for me to swallow. Of course, you need to take more because they are smaller, but I am willing to do that just to be able to get these down. So much better than the regular "horse pills".

They are not tablets! They are easy to swallow powder filled capsules. Hope this helps?

Sometimes I have a difficult time swallowing pills, but these DON'T give me problems. They are fairly small (thin) with a smooth coating. If I'm ever exposed to someone with a sickness, I take 4-6 of these immediately and I am rarely sick. During the winter only, I try to take 2 a day and then extra if I'm exposed to something. I would highly recommend.

I have not tried to chew them and I am waiting for my next bottle. When I get it, I will try and let you know. Of any pill I have taken, they are very easy to swallow. You prob could cut them in half and that would make it easier to take. They are similar to a football in shape, oval.

For me they are relatively easy to swallow. The caplets are 3 in long. I take one at a time.

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.

That answer will probably differ between people. Personally I find soft gels of this kind very easy to swallow. (I have a hard time swallowing dry tablets, but these are a very smooth capsule.)

They are capsules. Not hard to swallow with water. However, they didn't do anything for me. I guess I wasn't very hungry but didn't lose any weight. I took the pills for more than 2 months. I hope it works for you!

If your talking about Areds 2, I'ed say no. It's not hard to swallow. It's shaped like a football. If you have trouble swallowing pills, I would recommend when your chewing a bit of food, just before you swallow put the pill in your mouth & swallow with the food as you take a drink of water. Your throat opens wider to accomodate the food and keep drinking the water.

Actually, they are capsules, a bit on the larger size, but unlike a pill they are pretty easy to swallow and they are very light in weight, which also helps for easy swallowing. I have no trouble with pills, but I think you will be okay with these.

They are oval shaped pills but not too big. So they are not hard to swallow.

They are a little smaller. My daughter found them easy to swallow. These were the first pills she ever had to swallow and hasn't found any problems doing so.

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 have no problem swallowing them, but then again I can swallow numerous pills at one time.

I don't have problems taking capsules, so I'm not sure what your limitations are. They are not too big of round, they're skinny. They go down pretty easily. I take two at a time and have no problems.

Capsules are so much easier if you don't mind swallowing pills. The packets in water don't taste bad, (lemony, or a bit like fruity pebbles in my opinion), but there is a degree of "choking it down," day after day. If you get packets, I recommend using as little water as possible just to get it over with. The capsules aren't huge, about the size of Excedrin Gelcaps, so i now choose capsules exclusively.
