How big are these gel capsules? I have larger capsules from another brand, but my kid won't swallow them.

They are pretty big, I would search another kind , also these have Carmel color added, always read ingredients, I don't understand the need to have a color added to a pill [---------------------------------] <<~~ This is size of pill.

They are a decent adult size at 1,000mg each (as it says on the front of the bottle), so it depends on how big your "kid" is. :) Personally, I give my kids Vital Choice wild sockeye salmon oil. It's a pure, natural form product and tastes fresh. They can chew them up, get the oil out, and discard the softgel casing. Works great!

These are probably too large for a kiddo. Barleans has a flavored fish oil to consider.

They are large but still go down easily. I have a swallowing problem and cannot swallow large or even medium size pills. The gel capsules are very smooth and tapered on the ends to slide down with water.

Hello, my wife has the same problem - she claims not to be able to swallow big capsules, tablets, but with the Digest Spectrum she is OK, especially it really works with Digesting. These caps are slightly smaller than the big ones, like 1000mg vitamin C for example. Just a note: if you think - one doesn't have a problem to swallow food - it is times larger than any pill, so it is all in one's mind, not some restrictions, try to do it with a bite of an apple, or a piece of bread.Hope this helped.Good luck, Mark.

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.

My 6 year old takes these just fine with something to drink. They are capsules not tabs, so you could always open it if you wanted to. They also have a children's chewable if that would be easier for you.

I, too, have problems swallowing larger pills and capsules. This is a small gelcap, about one-quarter inch long. It's narrow and rounded. Since it is a gelcap, you can hold it between your fingers to warm it and it will be even softer and more flexible.

They are about the size of your multi-vitamin that comes in a capsule. So bigger but not a "horse" pill. I have troubles swallowing big pills and I haven't had a problem with these ones.

I had sent these to my 4yr old and 18th mo. old granddaughters.I called my daughter-in-law and she said that the blocks weren't small enough to swallow (even for an adult. She compare the size to a large ice cube. Hope this helps.

They are kinda small... 1in tall and 3/4 wide approx. if your child still puts thing in their mouth I wouldn't suggest this...

They're actually small, less than an inch. I have a bigger dog that I give it to her before I feed her twice a day and she swallows it without even chewing. No issue with size or taste from her!

They are tablets not soft gel. They are larger than baby asprin but smaller than the standard sized ibuprofen. Really a good size if you have any issues swallowing pills.

they aren't little pills. about as large a gel cap as you commonly see. I don't know the exact size. I wasn't taking them myself. But I could see someone who has a hard time swallowing pills having a rough time with these.

Mine are not capsules, they are actual pills. Not small, but not the largest I've seen either, about 3/4" long.

I just measured, they are 3/4 inch long, 1/4 inch wide...I do not have a problem swallowing them, but what I would recommend if you do, to take it with a spoon ful of pudding or applesauce. hope this helps

they are not as big as some, but are a bit bigger then I would like them to be...one thing that really helps me get my supplements down (I too have a hard time sometimes with pills they stick), but first swallow some liquid, then put capsule in your mouth put in more liquid swish it enough that capsule is wet and then look down when you swallow as capsule pop up in the water where as tablets sink...this will help it go up, over and down your throat then of course finish with more liquid...hope this helps! This is a great product though really helps with gas, bloat and inability to digest food...:) they are not as big as some, but are a bit bigger then I would like them to be...one thing that really helps me get my supplements down (I too have a hard time sometimes with pills they stick), but first swallow some liquid, then put capsule in your mouth put in more liquid swish it enough that capsule is wet and then look down when you swallow as capsule pop up in the water where as tablets sink...this will help it go up, over and down your throat then of course finish with more liquid...hope this helps!

They aren't much bigger than a normal gel capsule. I have trouble swallowing large pills and these don't bother me.

They are fairly big size capsules. They seem to work the best. I tried some others, and they didn't work good like these.
