Centrum Silver comes from what could very well be the biggest name in the vitamin industry. It’s a titan, and especially in the “Silver” form meant for adults 50 and older, Centrum is known for its slogan “complete from A to Zinc.”

What Centrum Silver Does

According to the descriptions we’ve probably read about a million times, Centrum Silver is a catch all/do all product. It supposedly improves bone health, eye health, heart health, energy, and cell repair all in one. We’ve heard it so many times we can practically recite Centrum Silver’s whole slogan. What might surprise some is that it is all completely possible with the right set of vitamins.

The Centrum Silver Formula

Centrum Silver uses a full blend of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin B12, Biotin, Pantothenic Acid, Calcium, Phosphorus, Iodine, Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium, Copper, Manganese, Chromium, Molybdenum, Chloride, Potassium, Boron, Nickel, Silicon, Vanadium, Lutein, and Lycopene.

Centrum Silver uses ingredients that are engineered to meet basic nutritional needs. It has the basic vitamins as well as antioxidants and other beneficial ingredients such as lutein and lycopene. All of the vitamins work together to promote the benefits described. But lycopene for example has been known in studies we’ve seen to improve skin health, eliminate free radicals, improve vision, and promote a number of other healthy benefits.

Conclusion on Centrum Silver

We’re not entirely sure that Centrum Silver is specially made for people over the age of 50. It doesn’t necessary have an extraordinarily high dose of certain vitamins and minerals such as calcium for example. But it does have all of the basic essentials. When we consider the fact that it sells for $8.49 a bottle, in spite of advertising, we figure we would be fools to expect anything more. It would be like us being mad at Taco Bell for using fake beef in what was it, an $0.89 taco? All it takes is a little common sense.
