Usually gelatin capsules does not work with liquids. You still may try to fill it and consume it right away, but it may not work (the liquid will start softening the gelatin. Based on capacity I found this "Each "0" capsule will hold 400 mg - 800 mg or so (5,000 mg = 1 teaspoon)", so you be better off with capsules 00 (are bigger) Source of the info: http://www.bulkherbstore.com/Gelatin-Capsules

I don't know how many capsules you would need to fit a TBSP of liquid, but I would imagine it might be several. I put liquid in mind but just three tiny drops. I take it immediately and it doesn't melt through the cap, however I am sure if you let it set there awhile it would. If you put in the liquid and take it right away, there is no taste and no softening at all.

One I do not know how the size works you would want one of the bigger Size's also you may want to see if you can find a powder since these gel caps may break down because pretty much anything wet makes them break down

I agree with Rebecca. At first you will have some trial and error because you need to decide how thick/thin you need the liquid or food (such as soup, juices, meds, etc). If you want it like applesauce consistency, you will need a couple of the scoop spoons. You do not want to make this up ahead of time. Mix it as needed.

They measure 13/16th long and 5/16th diameter. Try buying the size 3 capsules and filling them out of the bigger capsules. This also makes it easier to take a smaller dose. Hope this helps.

The turmeric capsule is pretty typical in size for a gel-type. Maybe 1/2 to 3/4 inch long and slender and yes, you can open in to mix in liquid.

A folded piece of paper is the best way. Just measure out the amount per capsule and fill one at a time. I used an envelope with the top and side cut off before I got the capsule filler, however the capsule machine is so easy to use and not very pricy and you can fill 24 at a time.

This capsule holds about an 1/8 of a teaspoon. Depending on your powder herb or antibiotic, it might or might not hold 350 mg to 500 mg. Some powders have a higher density/concentration of the active ingredient while others do not. As a result, for one product, 1/8th of a teaspoon might be 500 mg; however, for a powder with a lower density/concentration a 500 mg dose might be a whole tablespoon or even more. As a result, be sure to measure your particular herb powder or antibiotic powder prior to ordering. This capsule holds about 1/8th of a teaspoon. Also, I have ordered it, and it is a good product. Simply make sure that you are ordering the right size capsule for your powdered herb or antibiotic.

These capsules are not large. They're just the right size. I give them to my 11 yr old daughter.

The capsule is about 3/4" long and probably diameter about the size of a Centrum vitamin. I can't recommend opening the capsule since I'm not a doctor. If you take it with a mouthful of water, you should be able to get it down. I have been taking these about 4 months or so and it has really helped with my digestion. Take one capsule at a time, don't be nervous and take a mouthful of water and then follow with more water. If you're afraid of it getting stuck, you might try coating it in Olive oil first.

It's the same size of the usual gel caps that you would normally find. If size is a problem consider opening the capsule and shaking the powder out. I have done this when I want to avoid taking a gelatin based capsule.

They are the same size, but either of the capsules can be opened. Then just add the contents to water, flavored water, or juice and stir well. Many customers who have had issues with the size, do this with no negative side effects.

The company's website specifies: "Optimal Liposomal Vitamin C utilizes consistent 150 nm sized liposomes" If you go to their website, you can call or write in a question. I have found them to be very responsive. BTW, I LOVE this product.

I use Two tablespoons in 16 oz of distilled water and 6 T of non-GMO Lecithin and I make Liposomal vitamin C with it. If you google Liposomal Vitamin C, you'll find directions.

I would imagine it would fit. But don't take my word on that. I would say give it a go, they are so reasonably priced and if not you could always split it between two capsules. . I am using mine to put in just three drops of a supplement tincture. I think the thing I really like about these are they are so smooth and not tacky, so I think they would work great for everyone's needs. I hope that helps.

In laymen's terms: It's pretty big, not the biggest capsule I've ever ingested. My 1000mg Vitamin C is bigger.They are easy to fill and close so I would but them again.

3/4 of an inch long by 1/4 wide. on the larger size of vitamins I take but have been easy to swallow as the capsule doesn't start dissolve in your mouth, like some chalky coated vitamins do.

I can't figure out how to post a picture for you, but I put one of these vitamins on a quarter and it fits exactly end-to-end and the width was about a third of the quarter's diameter. It's about as thick as it is wide. Hope that helps!

The capsules are the size of standard large supplement capsules, maybe just slightly larger. They are not difficult to swallow, and they hold about 1/8 teaspoon of powder.
