Description
Centrum Advance 50+ Multivitamins & Minerals is a daily multivitamin and mineral supplement supplied as 30 tablets, with nutrient levels adjusted for adults aged 50 and over. Each smooth-coated tablet provides 24 vitamins and minerals, including lutein, offering broad nutritional coverage in a single easy-to-swallow dose.
Key Features
- Adjusted for age 50+: The formula provides a lower iron level (2.1mg, 15% of the NRV) than typical general adult multivitamins, reflecting Centrum's adjustment of nutrient levels for people aged 50 and over.
- Contains lutein: Each tablet includes 1000mcg of lutein, an ingredient not included in every standard multivitamin formula.
- 24 vitamins and minerals in one tablet: A single daily tablet provides 24 different vitamins and minerals, several at 150% of the Nutrient Reference Value, including vitamins C, E, B1, B2, B6 and B12, biotin, folic acid, niacin and pantothenic acid.
- Smooth-coated tablet: The tablet has a smooth coating designed to be easy to swallow.
- Free from wheat, lactose, nuts and gluten: Centrum states the tablets are free from these ingredients, which may suit people avoiding them.
Is Centrum Advance 50+ suitable for vegetarians or vegans?
No. The tablet coating contains gelatine, an ingredient derived from animal collagen, so this product is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
Can I take Centrum Advance 50+ if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Centrum Advance 50+ is formulated for adults aged 50 and over and is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Does Centrum Advance 50+ contain iron?
Yes. Each tablet contains 2.1mg of iron (15% of the NRV). Iron can be harmful to children if taken in large amounts, so keep the tablets out of their reach.
Can I take Centrum Advance 50+ alongside other supplements or medicines?
Centrum Advance 50+ contains a broad range of vitamins and minerals, so it is worth checking the labels of any other supplements you take to avoid duplicating the same nutrients. If you take prescribed medicines or have a medical condition, check with a doctor or pharmacist before starting a new supplement.
