Take one a day for prevention and added vitamins, brand name, trusted and high quality, used as a Senior Citizen and male. Only issue, is the size of the vitamin makes it difficult for me to swallow.

I use to take other vitamins but I switched to Centrum Silver. I took it 4 different times. The first time was fine, the second I had a sudden stomach ache so strong that I had to lie in bed for an hour. I wasn't sure it was from the vitamins, as the third time was fine. The forth and last time, I took it in the morning after toast and was feeling so sick, I wanted to vomit. I didn't vomit because...

Took a whole bottle of Centrum Silver Women over 50 and had problems all summer with abdominal problems..looked at the label and saw there was iron in them..Thought folks over 50 weren't to take iron supplements, so why is it in them? Went back to my Women's 50 One a Days and feeling fine now.

I noticed on the ingredients that this is made with hydrogenated oil which means trans fat.

I have always read that taking vitamins was a waste of time and money. This is false, as my brother went to his doctor about tingling sensation in his hands and fingers. The doctor had him take B6, and after a few days, the tingling went away. I took B6, and too my dismay, I has twitching of my eyes, and it was really annoying. So I read all the info on B6, and it does have something to do with nerve stimulation. I stopped taking the B6 because I did not need it, it was massive dose of 100 Mg, and that is far too much if you do not have a deficiency. I started taking Centrum Silver because of my age, and the decrease in the amount, and variety of food I have been eating. One thing about aging is that you body needs different nutrition than when you are young, and your body can process everything you eat efficiently. So as you age, your body can have trouble getting all of your nutrition through your food. The Centrum Silver is just a way to supplement the vitamins my body needs to heal, and my muscles need to recover from a vigorous workout in the gym. You may think that the vitamins are doing nothing, but you may not notice a minor setback in nutrition, so maybe you don';t need it. This can be true if you are relatively young, and your body works as it should, and you have a good diet with a variety of vegetables, and animal protein, minus RED MEAT, stay away from RED MEAT, it is very bad for you, and it is proven to cause cancer growth. Don't let marketing hype, or the fact that you love a good steak, to risk your health on Red Meat. A very small amount will not be harmful, and may actually help, but eating a lot of it is too much.

I have taken women's centrum silver 50+ for years now once daily. I am toxic on vitamin B6. Had to stop this vitamin and am taking no vitamin at all. Now I have neuropathy of leg and arm. This may never go away even though I stopped the vitamin. Watch vitamin intake they are not good for you.

I took Centrum Silver for eyes, heart, memory and health with vitamins A through Z.I have over active thyroid and Centrum Silver has iodine in it which is good for under active thyroid but not over active thyroid. The iodine is what I think caused my eyes to swell after I took only one pill one time.

Otherwise it is worth the money, and difficulty in swallowing. I only purchase supplements that are of a brand name, and have a history of quality control. I do not use any additional vitamin supplement except for occasional zinc during the winter. Centrum Silver for male has all the necessary and extra minerals you should require, unless you have a vitamin deficiencies. One Centrum Silver a day should do the trick, honest and I am not a salesman or a representative of the company. Just a Senior Citizen trying to stay as healthy as possible and to avoid the flu. Good Bless. Read More Read Less

After taking Centrum silver with food, I was feeling nauseous, light headed and very weak. After a process of elimination, I realized it was the vitamin and discontinued use. A scary experience.

I was just recently told that Centrum Silver Vitamins contain tar. Is this true and if so is it a toxic level of tar? Why aren't there any precautions listed on the bottle?

Everytime I take Centrum silver, I always have hearburns and I feel so weak. After an hour, I feel better. The old Centrum silver was better. I did not have any problem with the old one.
