Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have dysphagia (swallowing problems), and the normal horse-pill women's vitamins literally get stuck in my throat. It could take up to seven swallows before they went down. Fairly scary stuff. Cutting the horse pills in half did not help, as then they just had sharp edges that hurt as they got stuck. But I personally can swallow my boyfriend's still-large-but-slightly-smaller multi-vitamin. I think the extra calcium and iron in the women's vitamin add bulk. But I wanted the calcium and iron, so his slightly smaller pills weren't the solution. So these pills work excellently for me. No, they are not tiny, but for me, they are small enough and smooth-edged enough to go down easily. Taking two of them is far better than struggling to get a normal women's vitamin un-stuck from my throat. (the coin in the video is a dime.) If you have problems swallowing even regular-sized vitamins, and you don't need the calcium or iron, I've seen gummy vitamins recommended on a dysphagia listserv (though I can't vouch for them myself). You also might try taking the pills in a spoonful of applesauce. My own swallowing problem makes liquids particularly difficult to swallow, so I take the pills in a spoonful of applesauce. It's so easy that I don't even notice these pills are there, so I'd think it might help others too. Yogurt should work similarly. Update: the other reviewer with a video posted in the comments that she's now taking "Viactiv Calcium Supplement Soft Chews, Milk Chocolate, 100-Count along with a chewable iron pill." So this is a solution for people who can't swallow medium-sized pills but want the calcium and iron from a woman's vitamin.
