Hi, it's 1 inch long and 1/4 " wide. It's a very hard or rigid softgel though.

I too have trouble swallowing large pills but the Jarrow Q-Absorb is not a pill, it is a soft-gel and quite easy to swallow.

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 also have problems with swallowing, but I have no problem with these. They are a narrow cellulose capsule about 3/4 of an inch long. If swallowing is a problem the capsules can be pulled apart and the ingredients mixed with food or a liquid. I highly recommend these.

The Mg. citrate pills are a little bigger, but no problems in swallowing it. It does have amazing benefits from what I have experienced. One has to make sure to take it with enough water. My suggestion is, if this is a problem, cut it in half, as the benefits outweigh the negativity on the size of the pill.Hope that helps on concerns on the size of the pill.cheers

They are about the size of a 325mg asprin. I have not had an incident of the pill sticking in my throat while swallowing them. I hope this helps you. If not, contact me again. joyce

they are large...nearly .75 inches - not hard to swallow unless you have trouble taking larger pills - would avoid then - they are a gelatin like pill/oblong instead of a rough pill or capsule

They are a large (approximately one inch) gel-coated capsule. Despite their size, I do not find them difficult to swallow. However, I do not have difficulty with most pills.

Hello Frances, I cannot swallow pills at all and these are quite large in my opinion. But, good news - just let them dissolve in your mouth. They break down quickly, have no taste, a bit "sandy" in texture. The exterior is chewy. I have no problems at all with my throat seizing up when I let the softgels dissolve. Great product from a fine company.

They are a large capsules. I don't have any problems with them. However, if you have trouble swallowing, that may be a problem.

Linda, these are caps that are small. But if you have trouble swallowing pills you might try taking them with yogurt or a soda. I've heard that they help. GOOD LUCK !!!

The pill size is not huge, but it is not a small pill either. It is about the size of an 800mg ibuprofen if you know that one. I also have problems with very large pills but this one causedme no problems. It occurred to me that the flavor of this medicine might be tolerable, so Ichewed one. It has no bad flavor. Just chalky. Perhaps You can chew it if it is too large forYou to swallow. It is not unpleasant to chew these but it is not overly difficult to swalloweither.

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.

The pills are what I would call "medium" size. They are also soft enough that I had no trouble at all in swallowing them.

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".

Smaller than a most omega 3 fish oil pills. Never fear, they are NOT .75 inches in diameter as Melisa mistakenly posted...that is how LONG they are :-) They are capsules and my daughter who has a hard time swallowing pills is able to swallow them. I hope this helps. :-)
