Has anyone tried the Softgel version? Are they larger than fish oil pills?

I have tried the softgels, however I can't remember for sure if they are larger than fish oil softgels. I seem to recall them being the largest softgel I have ever seen. That being said, they are seamless and super shiny and I never had a problem swallowing them. They are on the pliable side and the shiny quality, I believe, reflects that it is also slippery. Sorry this doesn't clarify as much as gives my impression of them. It has been several years since I have taken mag citrate in this form.

The ones we purchased were rather large softgels. However, we stopped buying them online (and paying extra for shipping) when we discovered that the Walgreens store nearby carries the NatureMade brand and they are almost always on sale (buy one, get one free). The NatureMade softgels are also large but not quite as big as the fish oil softgels that we take. Hope that helps.

HI, The capsules are not big. The tablets maybe cheaper, but the capsules may dissolve better. Happiness...

I use the softgels when I go on vacation. They are no larger than fish oil pills. I find I need to take 500 mg a day to keep me regular. So I need to take 4 -5 softgels a day. It is less expensive to use the powder. I put a heaping tsp. in a mug of lemon water in the morning when I first get up and usually within an hour of drinking it, I am cleansed! I've been doing this for over 10 years now. It works for me! I have only used the NOW brand because I feel they are a reputable company that produces a quality product.

No, they are not smaller, but they go down pretty easy with no after taste.I know there has been a new fish pill advertised to be smaller and have not gas or after taste on TV. I don't think it's prescription? You could ask your local pharm. It looks pretty reputable. My brother got me onto these, he researches everything and has great taste in products, he tried so many different brands till he came across these and now these are all he buys. He knows what he's talking about!

They are large. Fish oil tablets are larger but these are not coated to make it easy to swallow. If you have a problem with large pills you will not like them.

These capsules are about half inch long, similar to the size of fish oil capsules but they are very easy to swallow with plenty of liquid. You will be amazed how theses work. PS: I take capsule two times per day to the result.

Yes, they are the normal size of fish oil pills. But has a good coating and no odor.

I will post an answer to my own question in case helps someone--I bought both the 100+30 pills of "Super Omega-3 Fish Oil Concentrate" and the 300 pill bottle of the "Super Omega-3 GEMS Fish Oil Concentrate" and they are EXACTLY the SAME thing. In fact the smaller bottles I received also have the word "GEMS" on the label now too, unlike the bottle pictured. It appears the addition of the word Gems is just the newer label. What is also interesting is that the price per pill was a little better with the 2 smaller bottles, at least on the day I purchased.! Worth doing the math--bigger package is not always the better price!

The bottle says "1 soft gel=1500mg / 1 soft gel contains 1000 mg fish oil." Hope that helps!

This softgel is approximately 7/8" in length and 5/16" in diameter. It is considerably smaller than a 1000 mg. fish oil capsule.

It's not too large. In comparison to a fish oil cap I take daily it is much smaller. Normal size in my opinion.

They are medium to large in size, but definitely not large like fish oil caps. I use a trinket case I purchased at Michaels to carry my vits when traveling. definitely better than the pill case

Yes, these are very large and can be quite difficult to swallow. Larger than fish oil, and are hard rather than gel. You have to psych yourself up to deal with these.

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.

They are not small. Most calcium softgels are about the size of fish oil softgels. If that's too big for you I wouldn't recommend buying these.

The size isn't too large. Not small, but not too large. The shape is good. Great fish oil.

Yes, they are large. I freeze mine so they're easier to swallow and I have no fish burps. For me, this is the best fish oil I've ever taken, and I've tried many brands.
