I have a hard time swallowing pills and took Lutein in a gummy form but that is not available anymore - how large is the soft gel? Can you compare it?

Not very large at all. Bout the size of a pea. If you have trouble swallowing, try taking a few drinks of water first, then take the pill.

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.

It is pretty small. About 1/2 the size of an Advil softgel. Small jelly bean size (~0.5 inch)

There is a slight after taste, but it's not terrible. As for being easy to swallow, the gelatin shell gets a little sticky as soon as it gets wet, so I have trouble. I often have to chug full glasses of water after a pill, because it feels like it is stuck in my throat. I have a better time if I use a spoon of yogurt or applesauce to swallow the pill.

The size of a regular multivitamin. Not at all difficult to swallow.Did you know that pill makers actually make them so they will floatand not be difficult to swallow?

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

Hi Wanda, The B-100 Capsules are fairly large - they measure almost 1" and are kind of fat. My husband used to choke on them and now he chews them up. I don't have a problem with them, but if you have trouble swallowing larger capsules, they might be a little large. There is a picture of the capsule on the bottom of the bottle that shows the "Actual Capsule Size".

It's not huge, but big-ish. If you have a hard time swallowing pills in general, it might give you a little trouble. Doesn't bother me, but most pills don't. However, you can open it up & dump out the contents into a drink or something instead of swallowing the pill. It tastes pretty good, and mixes in well, especially in warm liquids.

It's a little larger than a typical capsule. I take a lot of pills, gel caps and caps and this is large but not the largest. I have no trouble swallowing these caps.

Hey Gail, Flexacil are smaller than many multi-vitamins & fish oil supplements. Plus they're capsules, which slide down easily. I don't think you'll have any problems swallowing them :) Hope this helps!

They are big. I think we used to call them "horse pills" a long time ago. They are about 1" long, 3/8" wide, and 1/4" thick. I have no problem taking them because I take with food. I actually take a mouthful of food, chew it and just before I'm ready to swallow, throw the pill in my mouth and swallow everything. It's probably the only way I could do it, but it's totally worth it. These vitamins are awesome. I no longer have night vision difficulties, for one thing.

Doris this is a good size for those who have trouble swallowing larger pills. It is the same size [could be a bit larger] of my Silver multi vitamin

Softgells are oval shaped, 5/8" long and 3/8" wide. Very easy to swallow, in my opinion. Hope this helps.

I had no trouble swallowing them, but I can take pills with no problem. They weren't real big. Sorry I can't help you with this.

The capsule is about the size of a regular vitamin. I don't find it hard to swallow.

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 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.

These soft gels are relatively small and are very easy to swallow. I have used them for approx. 3 years on a daily basis.
