The Centrum Difference
-
40+ Year Heritage
The first Centrum multivitamin became available to consumers in 1978, but the science of Centrum began in the 1950s. Dr. Leon Ellengoben was a young scientist at Lederle Labs studying the use of therapeutic levels of vitamins to treat cancer patients when he became interested in vitamins and their benefits to human health. The result: a full-spectrum vitamin and mineral supplement to support nutrition and complement a healthy lifestyle. Initially launched as “Complete from A to Z,” In addition to its complete vitamin/mineral profile, Centrum also features key phytonutrients including beta-carotene, lutein, and lycopene. Today, Centrum offers a full line of gender- and age-specific products and continues to innovate around the world.

Designed to Meet Patient Needs
Centrum products reference the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for vitamins and minerals from leading scientific and health authorities across the globe.1,2
Centrum’s gender- and age-specific formulas supply key nutrients as close to 100% of the RDA when possible and appropriate. Research shows that adults who use multivitamins regularly (25 or more days a month) have a significantly higher micronutrient intake compared to those who do not use them or use them intermittently.3
A variety of Centrum products help health care professionals personalize supplement recommendations for each patient to help optimize vitamin and mineral intake in conjunction with a balanced diet.

In addition, Centrum is part of the ongoing Cocoa Supplement and Multivitamin/mineral Outcomes Study (COSMOS).
