Nancy, thanks for your question. The Multi-Gold is in a gelatin capsule (the kind with 2 parts that pull apart) so it is soft, not a hard tablet. It is easy to take, Like most supplements, drink a bit of water to moisten your throat and then add the supplement to your mouth, take another drink of water to “flush” it down. It is helpful to drink at least half a glass as some people with fibro have trouble swallowing in general. Hope this information helps!
