i have heard several people say that the pill is too big how big because I have sjogrens and I have trouble swallowing pills anyway because of dry mouth. Is it a capsule that could be opened and mixed with something?

It is 7/8" long and 5/16" in diameter. It is a capsule so you can open the contents and mix. I have a constricted esophagus and can still get them down as long as they go down lengthwise and with plenty of water.

It is a 'gel-cap' that is just under 20 mm long by less than half that wide at the 'belly' of the oval width. Most people can get it down easy with water. Or, even the large, dry tablets can be swallowed with just a teaspoon of oil like Sesame or Coconut or any tasty such liquid. Hope this helps. [I do know of folks that crush dry pills or even use a pin to open this kind of gel cap and then chew, swallow and wash the mouth with juice to end any taste not otherwise welcome.

They are little on the large size. I agree with the perdon that suggested open the capsule and mix the powder into something. I personally haven't done it. What about try taking it with a spoon of applesauce? That I have done and it works. Good luck! One thing I can say for sure these pills work wonders for me!!!

I take Lysine because it seems to have an effect on cold sores/fever blisters, so I'm committed. But these pills are the size of footballs. They are NOT capsules -- they're big, white pills that are very difficult to swallow. I will only take one when my husband (a doctor) is in the house in case the thing gets lodged in my esophagus or trachea! I wish I could find one that is a smooth capsule. I'd buy it in a heartbeat. It's effective, however, and seems to keep the fever blisters at bay.

The pill size is not huge, but it is not a small pill either. It is about the size of an 800mg ibuprofen if you know that one. I also have problems with very large pills but this one causedme no problems. It occurred to me that the flavor of this medicine might be tolerable, so Ichewed one. It has no bad flavor. Just chalky. Perhaps You can chew it if it is too large forYou to swallow. It is not unpleasant to chew these but it is not overly difficult to swalloweither.

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.

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

The capsule is about the size of a regular vitamin. I don't find it hard to swallow.

Yes. As long as you take it with at least 8 oz of water you should have no problems with swallowing the pill.

Carl, it's a medium size soft gelatin capsule. Not a pill. So if you cannot swallow it you could open it. It's a white powder and you could just open it and tap it into your mouth -and then just drink -- or tap it into apple sauce or whatever. I think it's the best magnesium for heart brain etc.

I don't have the capsules, mine is the syrup and I use a dropper to take it sublingual. From what i know you , you shouldn't open capsules, its best to take them as they are. I have that problem too but since its only one pill twice a day, I don't think about it and just put some water in my mouth first, then the pill and then swallow it all.

This a red coated pill about the size of an aspirin. I'm 80 years old and have no difficulty in swallowing it. This is the second time I have ordered from this company and find them very reliable. Hope this helps. :-)

It's the average size of most capsules I've seen. To me the average capsules are a little on the bigger side. But it hasn't been a problem for me to swallow it.

I don't know... I swallow the capsules without a problem... this is best arthritis relief that I have found. I wish you well.

I am now taking the Doctor's Best Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM Capsule. I believe it is the same size as the one you are asking about and measures 15/16" in length by 5/16" diameter. I take two at a time and have had no trouble swallowing them with water.

When my daughter was younger she couldn't swallow the capsules either. The doctor told her to open the capsule and mix with a little bit of applesauce. Hope this helps.
