Wow, I feel great! – I purchased Centrum multi vitamin for men 2 weeks ago now and have been having one every morning with breakfast. I did definitely notice I felt like vomiting the first morning but was able to keep it down. I put this down to the shape and how the pill is so easy to swallow, my stomach must have a hard time digesting it but since the I take it… Read more

straight after breakfast and it's been fine. Some people also noted tablets are quite large. Lol, you should try swallow Swisse multi vitamins! I wouldn't say Centrum are large at all.

I've noticed I pee yellow all day long now and have alot more energy.. which is absolutely fantastic!! I sweat alot at work as a labourer in very hot conditions and despite a healthy diet I dare say I'd been sweating alot of vitamins out and just getting depleted every day. Been feeling good even after work now whearas I used to collapse on the couch and hope nobody would talk to me because my brain just felt it didn't have the energy to even think straight. Thanks Centrum!

PS, I've also noticed I'm not getting tongue ulcers for the time being.. not yet sure if this is unrelated but it could be due to extra nutrients. Time will tell

Very bad bloating, stinky non stop gas and tummy ache – I took these for my overall well being. It lead to 2 days of issues, interfering in my ability to workout. I felt extremely fatigued. Having to take medicine to reduce the bloating, smelly gas. I am not able to meet people for fear of terrible farts. My dad has taken this before and does not recommend. He got nightmares while using it, and hes a… Read more

US board certified neurologist. Please dont try this American brand.... It has a very artificial flavor to it as well. Always a peeve of mine that pill bottles dont mention all active and inactive ingredients.

Great results & value for money – I have used many vitamins and minerals over the years! Many are over priced with questionable ingredients. I find Centrum to be a simple formula of key ingredients at an affordable price and from Pfizer a quality pharmaceutical company. I use men's 50+ and the results are noticeable for me. Show details

Centrum for Men works well for me – I have taken one tablet a day for the last month and it works well for me. I feel better knowing I am getting important vitamins and i have noticed a small boost in my energy levels. I will note that these tablets are quite large. I dont have a problem with them but others might. Show details

Repeatedly no answer to question – I have asked the same question 7 times - still no answer. I am concerned about the different levels of blue colour (E132 & E171) - please read about them. Allegedly safe but other colours previously regarded as safe now found to be carcinogenic. Would you eat a teaspoonful of them? If not, what would you regard as a safe daily dose? Show details

working for me :) – I honestly think these tablets have improved the way I feel. I am menopausal and have had the 50 plus ones and I have felt a lot better since I started taking them 6 weeks ago. Could be my imagination but I have bought some for my son to see if they work for him (male ones)

Honestly - They worked for me! – I recently was fortunate to have a full health check with a leading health care provider as part of a work benefit. I was pleased to know that I was pretty healthy all told. It was winter and Vit D was down and my iron levels were below optimal. A friend recommended supplements and had some Centrum tablets and offered them to me to try without… Read more

giving me any false hope. All I can say is that immediately I started to feel more energetic and motivated. I can’t say it’s Centrum for sure, but there is no other immediately obvious reason why. Even if it’s a placebo, it’s done the trick as far as making me feel more alive! I feel good, and that’s all that matters really.

Awful – I took this vitamins and minerals supplement upon the direction of a doctor. The gray tablets are so huge that I almost choked on them at every trial. To take them in smaller pieces I tried to cut them without much success. So I gave up and shifted to another brand. Now I see that other people also had the same experience with the size and design of this Centrum tablet.

Because your RIDICULOUS Box was so user unfriendly, I grew absolutely LIVID through are one attempt after another to logically and easily open the ridiculous packaging!!!! Finally I tried force and cut the crap out of my finger!!!! … Read more

That made me even more furious than I already was. Perhaps a petty comment, perhaps not!!! But either way, you lost a customer for sure!!!!!

Mouth Ulcers disappeared – Centrum is amazing. I used to have mouth ulcers on a regular basis, and had tried everything, and when I started taking Centrum, they disappeared. It is obviously the Centrum and the vitamins contained in it which have been so brilliant. I eat a very healthy diet, but it is obviously not enough without the added benefit of Centrum. My… Read more

July 5th 2017 Update: Hair and nails improved with Centrum

I have been using Centrum for the last 6 months, and as well as my mouth ulcers disappearing completely, my nails have become very strong, and also the texture of my hair as well. This is definitely NOT a coincidence, as my nails were always brittle and weak, and now it is the opposite. It is obviously one of the vitamins in the multi-vitamin (Centrum) that is doing this. For years I have wanted stronger nails so I could grow them, and the same for my hair which is now thicker and more lustrous. I would recommend Centrum one hundred percent. Thanks so much.

This stuff is bad for you – The ingredients are the lowest possible quality available and are barely absorbed. The additives in it can be poisonous. It's garbage. Bought high quality brands with good forms of nutrients although it did cost more I feel 100% better. I highly recommend that anyone taking Centrum research the quality of it and see that no nutritionist actually recommends this.

Feel more energy – I've been using centrum for a few years now. Positive: It does give me more energy throughout the day. I think it's the cheapest multivitamin around. Negative: if I forgot to take it I felt weak and tired. One time I run out and forgot to buy for few days and I felt easily tired.

Not good – I have been taking these for (30+ ones) for 4 days and have had nothing but head aches from the day I took them, I thought these would make me feel better and I don't I just feel lousy! Waste of £7!

Pills WAY too big to swallow – My dietitian recommended I take a vitamin pill so I picked up Centrum at the grocery store. The only way I can swallow this horse pill is to cut it. As it has a protective coating, it is difficult to cut in half. My suggestion would be to make the pills smaller and recommend 2 tablets. Too big to swallow and gets stuck in my throat.

Excellent – I don't know whether it just the placebo effect, however when I take this supplement I find myself less likely to be sick in the winter time. However having said that it is not a supplement for the natural vitamins and minerals that one would find in real food Quite like the size, easier to swallow than Blackmores range, also no funny after taste as noted when one takes a Cenovis tablet Not enough folate - only 200 micrograms.

Terrible – This product is a total waste of money. If you look at the ingredients closely you will notice that the majority of it's vitamin and mineral elements are the cheapest most ineffective esters available. The easiest way to determine the worth of a multi is to check it's vit.E. This product uses the dl version which is synthetic and and is less than… Read more

half as effective as natural E.

There is also many vitamins in levels which are completely ineffective. Eg 60mg of vitamin C, better off eating a qaurter of an orange. For some reason( beyond me) they have added hydrogenated palm oil, wonderful we would should all add trans fats to our diet if we want an early grave.

I note this product is made by Pfizer a major drug company that has brought us many wonderful products that after a short time on the market have been removed after serious life threatening side affects. Well you don't have to worry here as there will be absolutely no affects.

LOOK ELSWHERE.

Terrible – It's all marketing, I think the product is very poor and didn't feel any effect. The people who advertise it don't take it I didn't notice any difference? I think it's a sugar pill

OK – I've been taking Centrum for about 6months & haven't noticed much difference, they seem to have alot of ingredients but only in smaller amounts, so doesn't improve energy levels or anything like that. Basic multivitamin, if you want something to take once a day...this is your tablet, but if you want a bit more out of a multivitamin then I'd… Read more

suggest keep looking! :) It's a got alot packed into one medium-sized tablet, easy to swallow, no horrible after-taste, available from most supermarkets & chemists.etc Low amounts of all the a-z ingredients, so don't really feel much different after taking them each day. Bit pricey considering they are pretty average.

Bad – After taking 100 caplets one should be able to see a difference, but i did'n't so i stopped. But it was recommended by my dietician. I have bought another bottle today to give it another shot, after almost a year break. It was recommended by my dietician. I have finished one bottle. I do not like the fact that i cannot point at anything and say this is what centrum has done for me.

Bad – I bought these because they advertised the benefits of 100 vitamins and minerals, increased well being. However, I had to stop taking them at work because they made me lethargic and a little hazy at work. I think that by eating a balanced diet, you should not really be required to take supplements like this. I didn't find them to have any… Read more

benefits because I stopped taking them shortly after buying a bottle. I'm sure that they have benefits in terms of the viatmins and minerals that they contain. I felt very lethargic taking these which might make them a good sleeping aid.

Good – I take one Centrum a day because it is a very good supplement to compensate for the way modern food is stripped of nutrients before being sold, but I also take other supplements because it is not enough on its own. It has a wide spectrum of nutrients in it, which means that it covers those more obscure things like trace elements. The amount of the… Read more

basic vitamins (B, C & E) is not enough for daily intake, so you have to have separate supplements of them as well. However, the price is fair and it is not a rip off that those 3 vitamins are in low dosage in these pills.

Excellent – This is probably one of the best supplements I've ever had. I usually consume Centrum more regular when the winter's coming and the symptom of coughs/colds signaling. It seems like Centrum helping me increase my body immunity, although it's not scientifically proven yet. I think ..for those who have balanced and complete vitamins & minerals… Read more

from their dietaries, they may not really require to take supplement like this. Complete formula with essential vitamins and minerals.. from A to Zinc. It also contains Folic Acid, antioxidants, Calsium, Iron and Selenium. One a day formula. The tablet is a bit large and difficult to swallow.

Good – I love having a vitamin product which contains selenium (which has been shown to improve immunity)so I don't need to try and find selenium from other products or through my diet. I usually get 3 coughs/colds a year and always have done. I've gone through two winters with only one minor cold and while I can't say it was because of Centrum it's the… Read more

only thing that has changed in my routine. I work 12 hour shifts so there there are times when my diet isn't optimal and I rely on preprepared foods. Sometimes it's more important to scoff down a meal and get to work than counting my fruit and veggie intake. A mate of mine overseas notices the same thing when taking Centrum. The frequency and severity of colds over winter decreases while taking Centrum. It's not proof but it's interesting that we have the same anecdote about a product.

I've given it a rating of 4/5 because I can't prove Centrum is the one factor involved in us having fewer colds but I do think it's a good product with a wide range of vitamins and minerals at a reasonable price. My frequency of coughs, colds and sniffles in winter was diminished. Centrum contains selenium which many vitamin tablets don't. The user warning on the side of the bottle is thorough (though see Cons below). The warning on the bottle saying that "..are not suitable for use by children under the age of 15 years." could be in larger font. I'm sure some people wouldn't read the instructions that thoroughly and may well give them to children.

Good – I started to take these supplements only about 2 weeks ago to kickstart my way to excellent health. The first week i took it i did notice my energy levels go a bit up. I bought a bottle of 100 pills, i don't know if i will keep taking it after it runs out. I'm hoping by then i will be used to eating so much better and the right foods that i won't… Read more

need vitamins in tablet form to supplement my diet. Good for you, no strong taste or foul odour. Pills are large so it can be hard to swallow sometimes

Excellent – Good second line multi. My wife takes them to keep her going buy mu main choice is Swisse Mens F1 Ultivite. I use this as a PM vitamin as it has some different (or less amounts) of vitamins than my regular Swisse Mens F1 Ultivite. Easy to swallow, from ePharmacy online. A nice adjunct for vitamin A and B. None really - possibly a little expensive($0.135 each)when you compare what's actually in the formula.

Good – these are a good all rounder vitamin suppliment. probably one of the better ones to take. if you take these you wont need to take any other suppliments. so i guess in that way they are reasonably priced. however unless you have an actual need for vitamin suppliments due to definiancy i'd just save my money. they are also a little large and dry… Read more

which can be hard to swallow but i guess you could just cut them in half. some people get mild side effects such as nausia from taking vitamin suppliments but these usually subside after a few days of taking them. read the label. have a great range of vitamins and minerals large and difficalt to swallow

Excellent – Great product!!! I have felt good using them compared with other products on the market. I would recommend them to anyone. Morty's vote is five thumbs up !!!!! Good combination of vitamins and minerals. Slow release and I have found that they stay in my system and are not "flushed" away like other multi vitamins. Nothing, I have had no side affects and felt great using them.
