How large is the capsule? I have swallowing issues ... is it comparable to a vitamin or calcium capsule?

The capsules are small gelatin capsules at the 150 my size. Not size of multivitamin. Not even the 300 my size

It's a smallish capsule - larger than a pill but smaller and thinner than most other capsules I have seen

It is a capsule and it is slightly smaller than an Advil Liqui-gel. It is thinner and shorter. Much smaller than a vitamin and definitely way smaller than a calcium tablet.

It is a small white coated capsule; easy to swallow. It is not very large at all.

It is smaller than the vitamin I take which is a generic multi-vitamin. Actually smaller than a Tylenol gel-cap.

They are on the large side but I have no difficulty. They are smooth but not a capsule. These are some of the best vitamins I have ever had. Especially since I have digestion issues and these cause no problems and I believe I get more nutrition out of them because of better absorption.

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

Not sure what to compare them to, but they aren't too big. I don't have any trouble swallowing them. Maybe the size of a multi vitamin. Hope that helps!

Hi Suzanne, The capsule is roughly 3/4 inch long and 1/4 inch in diameter. If you have any issues swallowing you may open the capsule and pour it in a beverage, or sprinkle it over food. Hope this helps answer your question, and if you have any other questions you can reach us by responding to this comment thread or by email at amazon@vivalabs.com.BesaRegistered NutritionistViva Labs

It is a capsule, to me it wasn't very big at all. I have troubles swallowing any kind of pill and didn't have troubles with this one. Hope this helps

Not too large....a little larger than a Benadryl....not hard to swallow at all...and the benefits have been just amazing for me. I have osteoarthritis and it helps so much that I don't have to take nearly as much ibuprofen or any pain killers.....actually, I take ibuprofen just in the morning when I get up and at night when I go to bed. Try it. I hope it works as well for you as it has for me...

Doris this is a good size for those who have trouble swallowing larger pills. It is the same size [could be a bit larger] of my Silver multi vitamin

Hi Wanda, The B-100 Capsules are fairly large - they measure almost 1" and are kind of fat. My husband used to choke on them and now he chews them up. I don't have a problem with them, but if you have trouble swallowing larger capsules, they might be a little large. There is a picture of the capsule on the bottom of the bottle that shows the "Actual Capsule Size".

Average not tiny and not big. Being a capsule they are easier to swallow. I find when swallowing big pills (which these are NOT) it helps to take them with a thick drink, like a yogurt drink that you buy in the supermarket. Just one big gulp of those drinks and down it goes. That is how I take my calcium tablets. Hope this helps you make your decision.

These are not horse pills. I do have some trouble swallowing large pills and these are on the large side. Capsules are easier than tablets. But I have taken Algae Cal ( along with Strontium boost) and my postmenopausal bones are getting stronger according to my DEXA scan. Certainly worth trying. Maybe you could break them open and take them that way?

Easy to swallow and smaller than fish pills... I've had no problem...Hope that helps...

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.

I disagree that it's a large capsule and I have a lot of trouble swallowing. However, any powdered magnesium in a capsule can be sprinkled on applesauce or mixed into yogurt, etc. I often choke on capsules and twist them open. The capsule is just a transporter. You can use magnesium in many forms and I've even soaked my feet in it (in a cheaper form)

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.

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.

I have the same problem in swallowing pills so I know what you mean. This pill is not small but it isn't as large as other pills with turmeric in them. I haven't had any problems swallowing this pill and I believe it does give me more energy.
