These are large capsules. I have seen some that come smaller but it's a different brand. I can't remember the brand at the moment.

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.

I wouldnt consider capsule size to be any issue unless you have problems swallowing other pill or capsule.

I also have trouble taking pills, but these are not difficult to swallow. They're roughly the size of a peanut.

Yes they are large. I also have a problem swallowing large capsules, I take these capsules with juice so that they go down easier.

Hello, my wife has the same problem - she claims not to be able to swallow big capsules, tablets, but with the Digest Spectrum she is OK, especially it really works with Digesting. These caps are slightly smaller than the big ones, like 1000mg vitamin C for example. Just a note: if you think - one doesn't have a problem to swallow food - it is times larger than any pill, so it is all in one's mind, not some restrictions, try to do it with a bite of an apple, or a piece of bread.Hope this helped.Good luck, Mark.

They are fairly large but not giant sized. They are capsules. Personally I take any pill with a bite of something smooth like yogurt or ice cream.

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 fairly small! I can swallow them, because they're also kind of soft-shelled and smushy, not rigid like most capsules. And I chew almost every pill or capsule I take, so to be able to swallow these when you have to take 2x/day is awesome.

They are large, but I include them with other capsules/pills and swallow at the same time without a problem. It really depends on the person.

I, too, have problems swallowing larger pills and capsules. This is a small gelcap, about one-quarter inch long. It's narrow and rounded. Since it is a gelcap, you can hold it between your fingers to warm it and it will be even softer and more flexible.

They are fairly big. If you have trouble swallowing capsules, these may not be for you.

Actually, they are capsules, a bit on the larger size, but unlike a pill they are pretty easy to swallow and they are very light in weight, which also helps for easy swallowing. I have no trouble with pills, but I think you will be okay with these.

No they are not large at all. I have had problems with swallowing pills since I was a child and these are not a problem. Hope that helps:)

they aren't little pills. about as large a gel cap as you commonly see. I don't know the exact size. I wasn't taking them myself. But I could see someone who has a hard time swallowing pills having a rough time with these.

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..
