How large are these pills? I always have trouble swallowing the really large vitamins and don't want that to be the case with these!

The main reason I get these is because they *aren't* the giant vitamins you often see. (You need to take 3 to get the full dosage so that should tell you something).

These aren't tiny, but they aren't enormous either. Since you take 1, 3x/day, they aren't as big as others.

They're pretty large. If you have trouble swallowing usually I would recommend breaking it in half. It's really easy to break and I've done that a few times myself.

these are really large. If you have trouble swallowing large ones these probably aren't the best for you.

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?

Without specific measurements, they are about the size of a regular pain relief pill. If you are worried about if they would be hard to swallow, they are football shaped and very smooth. Not monster sized like some vitamin supplements.

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

They are roughly the same size as your normal multivitamin. So kinda large in my book.

Although they are big tablets they are clear coated. I usually can't swallow large vitamins but the clear coated Alive Max Potency vitamin is easy to swallow, especially with juice. Make sure you are getting the bottle that says "Clear Coated Tablets". The other Alive vitamins are in smaller capsules, but you have to take more of the capsules. The clear coated tablets recommends three a day versus six of the capsules. Depends on your preference.

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.

The capsules are about the size of a multivitamin. However, they are slippery so the go down pretty easily with water. Do not try to swallow without liquid or they might get caught in your throat.

They're big. I'd call them Horse pills. Do not buy these because you will have a tough time swallowing them. Very unpleasant product to swallow. Wish they would make them smaller.

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.

I also have trouble taking pills, but these are not difficult to swallow. They're roughly the size of a peanut.

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.

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

They are on the large side but I have no difficulty. They are smooth but not a capsule. These are some of the best vitamins I have ever had. Especially since I have digestion issues and these cause no problems and I believe I get more nutrition out of them because of better absorption.

Yes they are quite large. About the size of a prescription strengh ibuprofen. However they are coated and slide right down. I have no trouble swallowing them.

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