As far as size, these aren't large pills. I have never taken aspirin but they are probably similar. They also make a chewable.

I don't use Natrol Melatonin anymore because I found a brand that works better: Source Natural sublingual. I use 5mg at bedtime. I think Amazon only sells the 2.5mg sublingual. No more problem swallowing. Absorbs better too & works really well for me.

You do not swallow, they start to dissolve as you put them in your mouth just like an aspirin however my son takes pen and since he's only 10 chews them.

They're the same size as an aspirin. Super tiny. Also, I've never been able to tell if melatonin truly works, or if it's a placebo effect, but it "works" every time. So placebo or not, within 20 minutes of taking melatonin (assuming I'm in bed thinking about the pleasure of sleeping), I always fall asleep.

let me take a tape to it... its a little less yhen an inch long, simi foot ball shaped, rounded corners. My husband takes them they work for him. I have real bad leg and toe and foot cramps late at night, so I take them a different way. I get 2 bottles of water, to take to work, I drop one pill in each bottle, drink it at work. no tummy troubles. It does not taste bad at all, but then its not like eating a cookie either. I feel having them disolved and drinking it, is better.each tab is 833 so a daily serving is 3 to get the 1250mg. Im small and figure 2 is better then none.

They are easier to take than pills. I must say I have not been satisfied with the results. I will probably switch to another product.

The tablets are about the size of an aspirin or a little bigger, but they are not smooth or slick, and they start to dissolve quickly. They could be easily crushed and mixed with something. They do have a vitamin flavor, but that could maybe work. If she doesn't have a problem with the taste of them, chewing might be okay for a while. Best of luck!

I have used all 3 but I personally like the tablet. They do say that is absorbs faster into your system with the drops and mist.

Hi Carleton. Thanks for your question. The capsules are not that big and they are easy enough to swallow. The capsules are about the same size as a Tylenol pill. Any further questions please don't hesitate to ask. Riley - Sano Customer Services

These can be taken all at once or split up throughout the day. I prefer to split them up. I feel there is greater absorption and it is easier to swallow due to the size of the tablets. It is personal preference.

My 1st order was for 400 tablets, they smelled faintly sweet & pleasant. This 800 tablet container was my 2nd order (received in 09-2014) and the pills do smell nasty, somewhat acrid & bitter. I'm taking them anyway, and have not seen a decrease in their effectiveness. I am 60, these have helped me a LOT with joint pain, particularly in my hips and lower back. I will continue to take them but I wish they didn't smell as bad as they do.

I personally didn't notice any after taste. These are the best ones I've found to get the 1000 mgs in something I'm able to swallow. I can't swallow tablets any longer and was hesitant at first over the size of these capsules but have no problem at all swallowing them. In fact ordering another bottle today. Hope this helps.

I Have a bottle of buckleys it express in 2014 but i will still use it until its all gone.I also take the pills they are good. I feel the liquid is better because if you have a sore throat and take a teaspoon full it feel better right away. I have also used the adult robitussin its ok.

These pills are not that big. One is the size of a Tylenol and the other is smaller. They are good vitamins too, they don't cause you to have that bad after taste or the bad burps that others do.

They are small and narrow enough to swallow without a problem. Easier to swallow than an aspirin tablet.

Hello Goddess...the Sleep Right Melatonin 5mg that I purchased are small white baby aspirin sized tablets, not soft gells. And yes, they are timed release. They work wonderfully to help my spouse get to sleep and stay asleep. Note: taking too much will have the opposite effect, so follow directions!

I no longer have the product and cannot tell you. it upset my stomach and I never used them. the tablet size is huge and the surface makes then stick to your tongue and very hard to swallow.

Dear Piasta,(p.s.- My family is Polish & Catholic...) I do not have the bottle in front of me, but we do read labels and I remember being surprised at how little of anything there was in this product... Just Aspirin and Starch.. My adult Daughter remembers the same thing. If you hold the medicine in your mouth too long it dissolves. It is compressed just enough to swallow within a normal period of time.

It is very small. Smaller than an aspirin. But I found it harder to swallow than even my huge Fish Oil supplement. With the gel tabs that are a similar size I can swallow several at a time with these I can only swallow one with plenty of fluid to wash it down. I didn't buy these again but chose the gel tabs when I ran out. I hope this helps.

Directions say take 20 minutes before bedtime. I have been taking with water and never thought about letting it dissolve first. I haven't taken any medicine sublingual to know if the pills would look different. These look like most pills.
