can this vitamin be swallowed whole, and could there be any difference in its effectiveness?

Yes it can be swallowed, but the saliva in your mouth melts the pill before entering your digestive system. The affectivity is supposed to be less if swallowed whole. How much? Don't know...each individual would have to run their own test and get tests run independently. Its very simple to place it under your tongue and let it melt. One can always Google it to find out the general differences.

Yes there is always a difference taking an item sublingual or swallowing it and making it go through the digestive process Take it sublingual - but it is your choice - any other questions should be directed to the manufacturer.

I don't think any vitamin can do that. Also, this vitamin has a very strong vitamin smell and taste. It makes you nauseous.

I have never done this. My kids chew it but I would assume that you could because you are supposed to let it dissolve in your mouth before swallowing. It is definitely not a pill you have to swallow whole. My kids like the taste.

I've never tried this, but I don't see why not. It dissolves in your tummy with the outer capsule, so I don't think it would make a difference.

They aren't tiny but pretty small. The are easy to swallow though. Nothing like multi vitamins, which can be difficult to swallow. And they are like capsules so not a hard surface like vitamins.

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.

Hi Debbie..These are sublingual tablets that you hold under your tongue, and let them melt in your mouth. They're about the size of an M&M;, and are cherry flavored. They are better than other b-12 meds, which the body has to turn into methylcobalamin. And if you swallow one accidently, it shouldn't be a problem. I've done it a couple of time. I'd reciommend this one to you without hesitation

Nope I'm almost sure the ones you've seen are vegetarian vitamins which are easier to swallow but not really an issue these are quite tiny. This is in fact biotin

It is huge! Think of a multi-vitamin, especially a multi-B vitamin, in a gel capsule. If you have difficulty swallowing anything consider the liquid form on the web-site (haven't yet looked for it on Amazon...). I don't dare try to swallow something this large.

It is the size of a multi-vitamin/mineral, which is not huge but on the large size. I think you could easily break the pill in half.

I do not think that this product is designed for this. I use this product for the extra vitamin that you receive from it.

I took a picture next to a standard #2 pencil as an example to send you but there's nowhere to upload for this response. The size is comparable to most multivitamins. It's about the same width as a pencil but possible slightly thicker at it's widest point. I don't find them hard to swallow unless you accidentally manage to swallow it sideways.. which can be hard to get up or down without a piece of bread.

I'm not an expert on the subject, but I would guess so. I would think the capsule just makes it easier to swallow.

I'm not 100% sure, but I take mine while I,m eating my breakfast along with my other vitamins. Seems to be working for me.

Pills are large...a little larger than a multiple vitamin. Can be broken into smaller pieces if necessary.

They can be swallowed. My doctor recommends that I bite the pill in half, with my front teeth, just to help the pill break down a little quicker.

i purchased these small sized multi's for my mom, who has a hard time swallowing pills. you would get more nutrition out of the other vitamins. if you are already eating your greens, then these would work fine.
