Sweetjami, I presume your referring to Nature Made Multi For Her 50+. I purchased the tablets which I have no problem with, but it sounds as though you do,so the soft gels would be a better solution for you. Hope this helped you. It's a great vitamin.

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.

There is no size mentioned on bottled, but they are rather big. If you have a hard time swallowing pills, these are not for you. If you have no problem with pill size, they will suffice.

They aren't softgels but they are time release. They are small. Smaller than an asprin. About the size of a claritin or a bit bigger.

I would say the capsule is medium sized? It's not one of those jumbo things, and it's not a tiny little thing either. they are kind of thin. I have trouble swallowing large capsules and these are no problem at all. sorry I can't be more specific.

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 very overage in size. Honestly, I have never taken them. I ordered them for my mother. She was taking pills and did not say anything special about them.

These soft gels are the shape of little footballs and measure about 1/2 inch long. They are "slippery" and I personally find them easy to swallow. Hope this helps.

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.

I take it that you have an issue with swallowing. The pill is 7/8 of an inch long and 1/4 of an inch wide, I hope that you find this helpful, also the pills have a coating, so that they don't dissolve immed., when you put them into your mouth.

I find them very easy to take but I don't have too much trouble taking pills except for very large ones like fish oil. Anyway, as to size, these are smaller than your average daily vitamin (say, One-A-Day) and the capsules (not tablets) are shaped in such a way that they go down easier. To be specific, they are 3/4 of an inch long and 1/4 of an inch wide. If you have trouble taking them with water (as I do with some things), I recommend taking a good-sized bite of food, chewing it completely, then tossing one of these in your mouth and swallowing. This technique in often used in hospitals for people that have trouble swallowing and for kids, especially with soft foods like bananas or applesauce. Hope this helps! And hope you purchase them! They really do make a difference and in my opinion are on of the best broad-spectrum digestive enzymes out there.

They are not too big and I personally had no problem swallowing them. Hope this helps.

The pills are what I would call "medium" size. They are also soft enough that I had no trouble at all in swallowing them.

Well, these are not the smallest of capsules, nor the largest. I would say these are in the 50th percentile of size, in other words, bigger than 1/2 of the capsules I've seen. They are not the scary 'horse pills'. My wife has trouble swallowing large pills, but has taken these without too much complaint. I find that if i take a big drink of water it helps them go down. Good luck!

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 caused me no problems. It occurred to me that the flavor of this medicine might be tolerable, so I chewed one. It has no bad flavor. Just chalky. Perhaps You can chew it if it is too large for You to swallow. It is not unpleasant to chew these but it is not overly difficult to swallow either.

Not at all. They are soft and gel like. Not exactly small, but I've never had an issue swallowing. Hope this helps!

I also agree with you Carl that it may be difficult to swallow certain pills. I myself cannot swallow large pills, my gag reflexes will kick in. Believe me, Life Extension Super K with Advanced K2 complex is a small soft gel pill that is easy to swallow. The pill does not get stuck in my throat and neither do I gag as I am swallowing pill.The pill glides down my throat. I'm am telling you Carl, this is one of my better purchases. I hoped I answered your question.

They are not large. They are the regular capsule size. I take 2 at a time and have no problem swallowing them.
