Could someone take a picture of the actual pill next to something like a dime or nickel so we can get an idea of the size and shape? thnks

HiTook the pic but could not figure out how to send it since it would not work with the usual methods. The Alive vitamin is exactly the width of a nickel (from side to side) and about half the depth (from top to bottom). The closest measurements are 23mm long and 10mm deep Again, sorry I could not send the pic, but hope this will help.

DO NOT buy this if you have a small esophagus like I do and have trouble even swallowing aspirin! I opened the bottle this a.m. and was truly flabbergasted! These choking hazards don't even fit into the category of "horse pills" -- they're more like elephant pills!!! Even if I went to the trouble of quartering them -- defeating the point of one-pill ease and convenience -- they'd still be too large. I've written Nature's Way and strongly suggested for the sake of truth in labeling and consumer friendliness they add an "actual size" drawing or photo on the box or ditch the box for a clear bottle, if possible. Both as a consumer and an advertising copywriter, I value putting the relevant info upfront! DO NOT buy this if you have a small esophagus like I do and have trouble even swallowing aspirin!

I can't figure out how to post a picture for you, but I put one of these vitamins on a quarter and it fits exactly end-to-end and the width was about a third of the quarter's diameter. It's about as thick as it is wide. Hope that helps!

I can tell you it's about an inch long and about 3/8's of an inch in diameter, and is shaped like a football. It's what we used to call one of those giant "horse pills"... It's a solid pill, not a capsule, and not really any bigger than most other multi-vitamin type pills. You could break it in half to take it, if you needed to.

I cannot take a picture of this but I can tell you that the pill is the exact same size as the other brand multivitiman pill that I had been taking for a long time. I do like this Alive it makes me feel so much better and have more energy.

Yes. I have been able to cut a very small pill in half and then cut the halves into fourths, which were just a tad over 1/16th inch square. (The pill was for my kitty.) However, if the pill is somewhat crumbly, it might shatter at such a small size.

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 caused me no problems. It occurred to me that the flavor of this medicine might be tolerable, so I chewed one. It has no bad flavor. Just chalky. Perhaps You can chew it if it is too large for You to swallow. It is not unpleasant to chew these but it is not overly difficult to swallow either.

The pill is approximately 3/4 of an inch. Even though large do not find it hard to swallow. It is not a wide pill.

Thanks so much; I really appreciate that! I hate it when I buy pills that end up being gargantuan and they're unpleasant to take.

The pills are approximately 7/8 of an inch long and 3/8 of an inch wide. I have a picture I took beside a ruler but do not see a way to po.

Actual size is 5/8" x 3/8" x 1/8". Are oval shaped. You have to take 2 for a daily dose. I think they are much easier to swallow than regular vitamins. I absolutely can't swallow the big ones and have no problem with these.

They may have sent you the wrong one. These are very small and handy for one or two small pills.These are approximately 4.5 inches long by 1 1/8 inch deep by 5/8 inch tall. Fit in small purse perfectly. I love them.

I ordered this for my son, who was taking a regular sized pill for his epilepsy. His pills at the time were about the size of an eraser in diameter. The opening was so small, I gave it to a coworker to hold her nitroglycerin, which are very small pills.

If you look at the Amazon, the product pictures show the size by putting it up to a ruler. It's an oblong pill 1" long by 3/8". About the size of a normal vitamin capsule.

You should be ok, the pill is just a hair thicker than a #2, but the pill has a new slick coating.

I don't know the exact dimensions. Definitely less than 12" on longest side. I gave it away. I couldn't even fit 2 of my pills in one hole- I take 6 of those a day plus several others. It's very small- maybe small perception pills or tylenol size pills would fit well

Sorry, I got the nickel as well. Looks like the bronze would go, but maybe not perfectly. Compare the pictures, and take the gamble if you think they will compliment each other.

One of my pills measures 1" x .5": this fits along with 4 or 5 other pills of varying size in one compartment. Hope this helps.

I'm not the best judge as I don't have problems with "horse pills" as they are called by some. I'd take a pic next to a coin as reference for you, but I've just run out and need to re-order. I'd classify them as "medium-sized". They are tablets, not capsules, and could thus be split with a pill-cutter, I'd think. They seem to have a sweet or vanilla-esque fragrance, so cutting them might expose you to something more noxious than that, but I think I've taken an unintentionally-broken pill half from the compact of them I carry with me in my bag a couple of times with no noticeable negative result.
