Advantages: 100% RDA of many vitamins and minerals, constantly upgrading the product formula

Disadvantages: More expensive than generic

In some things, you really do get what you pay for. I like a bargain as much as the rest, but when it comes to health you really can't cut corners.
With all the pollution and stresses our bodies have to put up with, we have to give it the best to enable it to do what it needs to, to keep us healthy. Obviously, the best way to do this would be by eating a healthy diet, but in todays world, so many of us eat on the run, or eat processed food, that it isn't always possible.

Centrum is a multi-vitamin, in tablet form, that gives you the recommended daily allowance (or RDA) of many vitamins, nutrients and minerals. In that, it is like many other products, including your chemist's own brand of multi-vitamin. However Centrum has been around for many years, and constantly updates their multivitamin to include new minerals and nutrients as current research discovers the validity and necessity of them.
Centrum gives you 100% of the RDA of the following Vitamins and Minerals: Vitamin A, C, D, E, B1, B2, Niacin, B6, Folic Acid (Folacin), B12. Biotin, Pantothenic Acid, Iron, Zinc and Iodine. 20% of the RDA of Calcium, 33% of the RDA of Magnesium and 16% of the RDA of Phosphorus . There are also other minerals and trace elements (Chromium, Molybdenum, Selenium,Copper, Manganese, Nickel, Tin, Potassium Chloride, Boron, Silicon, and Vanadium. And Vitamin K.

If you check out the labels, and compare Centrum to other multivitamins on the store shelves, you will find few, if any, that can compete with Centrum in the nutritional composition. It is a quality product, constantly being reformulated to adjust to new research, and is superior to many other on-the-shelf products. Unfortunately, it is this cutting edge advantage over its competitors that makes it slightly more expensive.
Centrum does a full range of supplements, for men, for women, for children, for the elderly - all geared to the physical needs of that particular group of people. No guessing, and 100% of most of the necessary vitamins.

It's your money, and your health. You could pay less for a generic product but most cheaper brands either don't have 100% of what you need, or have only the basic vitamins and not all the phyto-nutrients and minerals. Centrum is my choice - it's tried and tested. Worht that bit extra!
