I am very bad taking capsules, are they big? If so can I dilute them in liquid? What are the ingredients?

They are not very big. I think you should be able to dilute them. For ingredients please refer to product description - I am sorry I do not have the bottle any more, I purchased these for my dad.

The capsules are quite large, I would say they are an inch long and 1/4 inch wide. If they go down long ways, it's not too bad, but if they go sideways, it's torture to swallow. I wish they were a little smaller, but they are pretty effective! Hope that helps!

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.

I take them like any other pill or tablet. They are not too big. Or you can crush them and put them in shakes.

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

Yea, I do too. They are about 3/4" long thin capsules with powder inside. I usually take two in the morning and one in the evening with lots of water.

These are full size capsules. An alternative is to get ground cinnamon powder and use that to sprinkle liberally on cereal, toast or almost anything else. (If you want the full 1000 mgm. dose that would be difficult to do.) I would email Nature Made and ask them if it's OK to simply open the capsule and pour the contents into a spoon of applesauce, etc. (If you have a nurse friend I would ask them for any tips in learning to swallow capsules; there my be times when it is urgent to get a medication which is available only in capsule form. Good luck.

To be honest, I have never bought a capsule for any liquid medication. Sorry I couldn't be of any help.

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.

They are large gel capsules. If you are person who has difficulty swallowing pills the size will be a problem.

they are not as big as some, but are a bit bigger then I would like them to be...one thing that really helps me get my supplements down (I too have a hard time sometimes with pills they stick), but first swallow some liquid, then put capsule in your mouth put in more liquid swish it enough that capsule is wet and then look down when you swallow as capsule pop up in the water where as tablets sink...this will help it go up, over and down your throat then of course finish with more liquid...hope this helps! This is a great product though really helps with gas, bloat and inability to digest food...:)

I just swallow the capsules whole, they're a little on the large side but manageable. I don't know if it will reduce the effectiveness if you mix the powder with something.

These are indeed large capsules. Perhals you could open the capsules and ingest the powder?

Hi - they are capsule sized and not "chokey" like big pills - they are fine to swallow in my opinion because they are slippery. Hope this helps! Rebecca

The pills are not that big. I would say they are the size of a normal antibiotic capsule. They are nowhere as big as a fish oil gel capsule. I think you would be safe.

I'm sorry for my delayed reply; I had just ordered some when you asked about it. I received some, and yes - the bottles and capsules are much smaller. I've taken it a few times and it seems to be effective. When you think about it, the original capsule size was pretty big for 5 milligrams of the active ingredient. I assume (and you know what that actually means) that they've just made it more concentrated, so the capsules and bottles can be smaller. (Search YouTube for "Odd Couple - assume" if you don't know what I mean!)
