From the bottle (which I just happen to have handy!
a dose is 2 tabs and they have 400 mg of calcium citrate and 400 iu of vitamin d.
Size wise...they are (guessing, don't have any around) "pillow" shaped (not exactly a rectangle) they are about size side to side as an m and m would be...they are a little thicker though. They are really easy to swallow.
I got them on the recommendation of another bandster back when i had just been banded. I can still fortunately swallow ANY pills but these are easy easy.
