They are a little smaller. I recommend Gummy vitamins if your daughter can't swallow Tylenol size caplets.

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.

They're big. My daughter didn't like them--not the size or the flavor. I ended up tossing them out.

They are slightly less plump than adult multi-vitamins but about the same length. I'd say it's a no-go for your daughter if she can't swallow large pills. My kids starting taking these when they were about 12.

I would say they are the same size -not noticeably smaller. I believe they would prove difficult for someone who cannot swallow large pills. My guess is you could score them in half to make swallowing easier.

They are larger than a multi-vitamin tablet. You might be able to cut them in half to take them.

They are definitely what I would call a "larger" pill...but they are slightly coated, so I don't have any trouble swallowing them. I highly recommend this brand (Carlson) because they don't put a bunch of junk/fillers in their vitamins. And this chelated magnesium is great stuff. Because it's "chelated" your body will actually absorb/utilize it.

It's not bigger than regular capsules. I have a hard time swallowing big pills too and I never had a hard time with these.

IF there is more than one size for the caplets, I don't know. I do know that I have no trouble swallowing these, which are small by comparison with other meds I take. And I sometimes have trouble swallowing large pills.

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?

No, they aren't jumbo pills. I would say medium-sized. I think they are easy to swallow.

If you go to the Swanson website and look at their pill size guide, they're probably a just little bit larger than the 0 size (https://www.swansonvitamins.com/en_US/pdf/SizeGuide.pdf). I do not have any problem swallowing these (been gulping vitamins a long time) - however I have to watch with the Strontium vitamins in this kit, not to swallow more than 1 at a time (they are a tad larger than the raw calcium). I've found that if I take a gulp of water, and then take them one at a time, I don't have any problems swallowing.

These pills are a little bit bigger than a jelly bean. If that description helps.

The childrens one is smaller than the junior and requires more pills to get less omega3s. My 14mo and 37mo both chew the juniors without problem and love them. Recommend skipping the childrens and going to this one (but I only give 1 pill to both of my kids).

Hi Keith -- Yes, they are pretty big...basically an inch long and are softgel capsules...Im like you, I don't like the large pills but for some odd reason I find taking it with "milk" (for me) makes it easier to go down instead of just plain water and Im a BIG water drinker...just I think the milk kinda helps mask it for me not that it tastes bad or anything like that but if you truly can not take the large pills I believe all the fish oil pills are large my only suggestion would be to maybe try that other stuff thats called Fish Krill or just Krill (something like that)....I understand the little "red pills" are much much easier to swallow and just as good...you may want to try that..hope this helps:) Hi Keith -- Yes, they are pretty big...basically an inch long and are softgel capsules...Im like you, I don't like the large pills but for some odd reason I find taking it with "milk" (for me) makes it easier to go down instead of just plain water and Im a BIG water drinker...just I think the milk kinda helps mask it for me not that it tastes bad or anything like that but if you truly can not take the large pills I believe all the fish oil pills are large my only suggestion would be to maybe try that other stuff thats called Fish Krill or just Krill (something like that)....I... » Read More Hi Keith -- Yes, they are pretty big...basically an inch long and are softgel capsules...Im like you, I don't like the large pills but for some odd reason I find taking it with "milk" (for me) makes it easier to go down instead of just plain water and Im a BIG water drinker...just I think the milk kinda helps mask it for me not that it tastes bad or anything like that but if you truly can not take the large pills I believe all the fish oil pills are large my only suggestion would be to maybe try that other stuff thats called Fish Krill or just Krill (something like that)....I understand the little "red pills" are much much easier to swallow and just as good...you may want to try that..hope this helps:) « Show Less

I'd just like to add that to the other responses that you have to take three of these tablets to equal one of the regular version. These are easier to swallow, but for me personally, remembering to take them at different times was hard and I hated the taste of them, so it was less painful to have to take just the one and be done. If you have trouble swallowing pills though the petite version is probably a better choice. Also, I think you may be able to take all three tablets at once if you wanted to.

I have a small mouth and found them easy to swallow. What that means to you I'm not sure but I prefer these pills to most other brands. I hope that helps.

Average not tiny and not big. Being a capsule they are easier to swallow. I find when swallowing big pills (which these are NOT) it helps to take them with a thick drink, like a yogurt drink that you buy in the supermarket. Just one big gulp of those drinks and down it goes. That is how I take my calcium tablets. Hope this helps you make your decision.

Not for me, but I never have had issues with such things. They are large pills, but rounded and soft (semi squishy--liquidy inside), so I think an average person can have them with fair ease.

They are regular size plastic capsules. I swallow two at a time with no problem, but I don't have a problem swallowing pills.
