Are these capsules about the size of 1/2 ExSt Tylenol, they say easy to swallow but I can't handle a big capsule?

If you push the capsul pieces tightly together they are 14/16". Tylenol is 3/4". I take them one at a time with lots of water. I use a straw because sometimes drawing the water thru the straw and the other capsule is pulled along with the water going down your throat. Sometimes being afraid to swallow pills makes it impossible in the way we think; we need a positive outlook that it can be done. All capsules can be swallowed. If you aren't able to swallow this one, You should get in touch with the maker of Algae Cal Plus. Please do whatever you want to do; we are all different. Good Luck! either way!

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?

I placed it on a measuring tape and it measures 7/8". Almost one inch. I am the same way when it comes to swallowing big tablets or capsules. I have to admit at times I was unable to swallow it. I just had to drink lots of water. But I believe it was because I make myself nervous. But these capsules have changed my life. I no longer have my bone spur on my foot. It was worth trying. Now I can walk with no pain. I purchased these December 2012 and I still have 22 capsules left. I only take them every once in a while so my bone spur does not swell up and come back. I hope my answer helps. I placed it on a measuring tape and it measures 7/8". Almost one inch. I am the same way when it comes to swallowing big tablets or capsules.

Yes, they are about the size of an extra strength capsul, however, because this is a gelcap, as long as you swallow with ample liquid, you should have no problem. It is a great product, very effective in helping me with my osteoporosis.Good Luck.

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..

Average capsule size. Like the size of a tylenol capsule. If they are not time release then opening capsule could be an option.

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.

The capsules are about 3/4 " long by less than A quarter inch thick. But if you have trouble swallowing large pills you could place it in a spoonful of pudding!!

No, they aren't jumbo pills. I would say medium-sized. I think they are easy to swallow.

They are not huge. About the size of a Tylenol Capsule. You could even break itin half and take half at a time.

Hi there, they are pretty much your average sized capsules. Very easy to swallow. So don't worry, they are not the size of horse pills or anything.

They must be because they don't dissolve as you swallow them. They are about the size if a Tylenol Rapid Release gelcap.

Sharon, the pills are easy for me to swallow. My doctor had started me out with so ethi g from their office but it was huge and had a really strong after taste. I found these pills and they are half the size of the recommended ones". I would say they are less than 1/2inch in length and about 1/3 inch in diameter. They go down smoothly. Hope this helps as they really seem to do the job.

The capsule is about the size of a regular vitamin. I don't find it hard to swallow.

It's a little larger than a typical capsule. I take a lot of pills, gel caps and caps and this is large but not the largest. I have no trouble swallowing these caps.

It's hard to describe a size. I have no problem swallowing both capsules at the same time. If that helps.

They are not huge pills. Mine were like the size of a standard Tylenol capsule. They were easy to swallow, but I took a whole bottle of those things and never noticed a difference in the feel or condition of my legs (spider veins).

They are about the size of a double "00" capsule. Not bad at all. It is amazing but it really helps. You may need something for pain depending on your situation but it will definitely help dissolve it.

Not big at all! Just a normal capsule size, I take them everyday with no problem.

They're quite small. A little smaller than a solid (not liquid capsule) ibuprofen.
