"Petite" but I'm more petite

Okay, I'm a small person, and I'm a big baby when it comes to pills. I can do pills, but they have to be tiny and I can do soft gels better than these hard pills. With that being said, these pills, despite being petite and smaller than the original, are still huge for me. I have to cheer myself on every time I swallow these , and I cuss under my breath after every swallow. However, I can cut them into thirds and swallow them perfectly fine. All of you saying these are easy to swallow are soldiers and I am rather envious. Yes, I'm a baby, we've established that.What's more important is that I'm a vegetarian and while I eat healthy and pretty clean, I think I also suck with fulfilling my daily vitamin intake. I've tried going without vitamins and focusing on getting nutrition straight from the source, but my acne's been worse lately and over the years my hair keeps falling out, so I feel like that has to do with diet, and I have nutritional holes. I haven't had a blood test or anything, so I don't actually know for sure, but at the very least these give me peace of mind.What drew me to these multivites is that it has a good amount of vitamin A, D, E, Folic Acid, Biotin, Calcium, Iron, Copper, and Zinc. It has others, sure, but after searching acne.org forums and seeing what people said about nutritional deficiencies leading to skin and hair problems, these seemed like the ones to target. I'm kind of clueless about dosages and vitamins, but I have a vague idea of which ones I want to ingest, and this one fulfills all my needs. I was already taking biotin for my hair and B12 and Iron for being meat-free, so this one has it all compacted into one pill, which is convenient. I guess having to cut them up kind of defeats the purpose of it being all in one...but for someone lazy like me, I'd rather not have to open 5 pill bottles every morning and that's enough for me to keep using these. I simply take 2 pills, chop them up, and have them with my breakfast.I bought mine in a drugstore and from what I can remember, the regular ones are cheaper for the amount of servings you get. Since I'm doing the pill chopping anyway, I think I'm going to get the regular ones next time to save money and maybe swallow less pill sections. But all in all, I'm very satisfied with these.UPDATE: It's been something like a few weeks since I did my original review and since then I have trained myself to be able to swallow these pills whole. It just takes a lot of practice (at least for me). I had acne popping up on my cheeks and sides of my jaw and I think these pills helped get rid of them. There were other factors involved in my breakout but I think I also had vitamin deficiencies and these covered them. I will definitely keep taking these.UPDATE #2: Stopped taking these. While they were helping my skin clear up for a bit, I felt like they eventually started breaking me out because they had too many vitamins packed in one pill. Guess I'll go the natural route and get my vitamins from foods. Bummer.
