From the Manufacturer
Since 1978, Centrum has been on the leading edge of science, bringing you the most up-to-date and balanced nutritional support. Centrum even added lycopene to the formula.

Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant found in tomatoes that helps neutralize free radicals which can help prevent cell damage. Emerging science suggests that this remarkable nutrient may help reduce the risk of heart disease. It's just another way that the advanced formulas of Centrum, combined with a healthy lifestyle, help do more for your health every day. No wonder it's the multivitamin most recommended by doctors.

Customer Reviews

Makes you wonder about Amazon's "discount" pricing
This 250 count package is available at any pharmacy and grocery store for $16.99 -- makes you wonder how Amazon arrives at the list price of $29.99 and the seemingly fabulous 43% discount to arrive at the selling price of $16.99.

Its a superb product, mind you -- but makes on think what other inflated list prices Amazon lists on its website to offer seemingly good deals (I've noticed this in the electronics section several times, but never inflated by such a high percentage...)

Update on November 10 2006: Amazon has since lowered the price to 13.99
Update on December 1 2006: Amazon no longer carries this item

Perfect.
I work out a lot! This is just great for your daily dose of vitamins, I don't get sick as much as I used to. Take half before lunch and the other half at night before dinner.

Stomach pain!!
I cannot take these. I tried one and had horrible stomach pain within 30 minutes, and it lasted a good hour. I happened to mention it to my friend who was here, and she said, "Was it Centrum?" and she told me that she had the SAME experience with these vitamins this year as well! Not sure what's going on with these, but wanted to add my voice to the group.
