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.

The capsules are a little smaller than a fish oil pill. It's a capsule that is fairly longer than most capsules. I hope this helps.

This capsule is about 1-inch long and 3/8-inch diameter. Despite that rather large size, I have never had difficulty in swallowing one: they are slippery. Pills even smaller than an aspirin have been a problem for me sometimes, but never the fish oil capsule.

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.

These capsules are not large and easy to swallow. They are much smaller than fish oil capsules.

Hi Mary, my husband & I take our majority of supplements from Life Extension (lef.org) which some are extremely expensive even if a member as my husband's cancer Dr. states they are about the only ones tested for quality assurance & getting the real ingredients. These pills are rather large 1in. long & 1/4in.thick, but since they are gel they really slide right down and being as I don't have too big a mouth I have never had any problem swallowing their pills.

Hi, the pills are big but they are the soft gel like capsules . If I can swallow them I think anyone can because I'm not the pill person. Give it a try..

I measured one for you. It is oval and about 3/4" long, 1/4" width, 1/8" depth. It really works well. I only take one a day along with a tiny cap of New Chapter's Zyflamend. I started off both 2-3 times a day and now down to 1 a day each. I hope you can take this pill because it is fantastic and not having one that is full of fish when you are allergic to it and finding a good one is hard.

They are a decent adult size at 1,000mg each (as it says on the front of the bottle), so it depends on how big your "kid" is. :) Personally, I give my kids Vital Choice wild sockeye salmon oil. It's a pure, natural form product and tastes fresh. They can chew them up, get the oil out, and discard the softgel casing. Works great!

Thank you for sending us your question!Not at all. In fact is quite small. In comparison to some fish oil capsules, it can be even half the size of a fish oil capsule.There is a video review posted by a costumer and he shows the capsule. You can check it out so you can see it for yourself. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have further questions. Best Regards,Number One Nutrition, Customer Relations

These are average vitamin size. They are NOT like coconut oil pills size. Easy breezy to swallow.

I guess "large" is a relative term. I am able to swallow them without difficulty because they are capsules and not tablets or pills. They're not quite as wide as a multivitamin but about as long.

These are fairly large, about the size of a fish oil capsule. Never seen an aleve so I can't compare them to one.

They are fairly large. Definitely bigger than an ibuprofen, but they are smooth and I find them easy to swallow. I take four at a time (I need the extra DHA for my brain) and swallow them easily.

They are a whopping 1300mg, as it says on the bottle. That's bigger than the vast majority of fish gels out there. Yikes.

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