Much better choices: All in all, taking Centrum is better than nothing but there are many FAR better choices, as it contains toxic additives like artificial colors and some of its ingredients are poorly absorbed or even toxic. Please see http://tinyurl.com/mzrkbx8 for details. Some of my favorite alternatives are UitraNutrient and O.N.E. Multivitamin by Pure Encapsulations and Multi-Vita-Min by Pure Synergy.
