 Centrun Silver is Targeted at Older PeopleSep 05, 2005
By kone

Centrum-brand vitamins are made by a quality company, which is important in buying vitamins. Since the vitamin industry is not regulated by the FDA, manufacturers can put just about anything on the label to sell their product, and many do! Oft times the supposed ingredients are not even in the product, and this is why a name-brand product is essential. The Centrum-brand is one that the consumer can trust.
Centrum-Silver is a product targeted for adults and those older than 55 years of age. However, this vitamin formulation can be taken by any adult with effectiveness.
Vitamins are elements and chemical compounds that help the body's cells function better, mostly in the area of cell/body metabolism. If one eats a balanced diet high in greens and fruits, extra store-bought vitamins are probably not essential, as vitamins are supplied in adequate quantities in the food consumed. However, the typical American diet is notorious for being high in sugars and low in veggies and fruits, therefore making supplemental vitamins important. Diets high in sugars demand more vitamin compounds to help metabolize the sugars. Since the average American consumes more than 110 pounds of dietary (table sugar: ,sucrose) sugars each year, supplemental vitamins are important if not essential to take on a daily basis.
When selecting a vitamin product, it is important to get the basic vitamins, such as the A's to E's, but it is also important to get the minerals and trace elements too, as these compounds and elements are essential to metabolism and cellular health of the body's various functions including the immune system. This product has all the basics covered and more, and that is why I like it.
Most vitamin companies when formulating their vitamin compound give 100% of the RDA or more. I am not a believer in mega-vitamins (formulations that provide many times more than the RDA) because the body can only use so much and the extra is generally excreted in the urine. The only exception to this rule is the fat-soluble vitamins, (Vitamin A, E, and K). Fat-soluble vitamins can be stored to excess in the body and can reach toxic levels. With this in mind, it makes no sense to continually consume fat-soluble vitamins in excess.
One final thing: many manufacturers make claims that their vitamin product is going to make you "feel" better, a sensation of vitality that will be noticable. Perhaps if you have been in a state of malnutrition for many years, this claim may be valid for some, but I have taken vitamins most of my life, and I feel about the same whether I take them or not. Rather than judge the effectiveness of vitamins on how they "feel", judge them instead on knowing that you have all the bases covered in terms of cell metabolism, for once this is covered, your cells will be as healthy as nutrition can make them.

 not too freshDec 31, 2009
By M. Lu
This product arrived on 12.29.2009 but the expiration date is 07.2010. Although it still has 7 months to get expired, I just can't believe the bottles stayed in somewhere else for 3 years before it got to my place. I'd rather grab it in CVS or RiteAid next time.

 The picture of the item is lying.Apr 22, 2011
By jian
I brought 8 bottles of the centrum silver,220 for adult 50+. But when I received it, I found that it is not the same one as the picture shows. The picture is lying to me. What I received is not the latest product but the previous product, and the expiry left only one year. So be careful, don't make mistake like me.

Centrum SilverFeb 23, 2006

Excellent deal on 220 tablets of Centrum Silver. This is about a 50% savings from buying this product from a local drug store; and it probably is the best on the market.

Good productSep 03, 2007
By R. Speizer

I take this because I am not allowed iron supplements. The product has a complete mix but not an excess of anything. This is best because the long term effects of high doses of some vitamins is still unkown. This product covers all the bases to make sure you get at least the minimum required for health. Made by a reputable company so you do not need to worry about where it came from or what is in it. Some other less well known brands have had contamination problems (such as lead) or sub-potency. This is a good safe complete product.
