Am I old enough to take centrum daily miltivitamins?!


Question: Am I old enough to take centrum daily miltivitamins.?
I am 15 years old. My mom just bough Centrum mulivitamins, she doesnt know if its okay for someone who is only 15 years old to take them. We went on the centrum website and we looked on the box, and there were no place to tell the ages.
Please tell us what you think..
Thanks!Health Question & Answer


Answers:
You are old enough but i would strongly recommend against centrum.. The reason is they use more chemicals and man made vitamins than most any other brand. If the vitamin is not whole food based, our body can not process it. Most is passed right through and comes out in urine. The chemicals are terrible for your body too.

Look into getting a natural, whole food based multi vitamin and mineral. It will list the food source for every nutrient in it and the minerals will say chelated. This means they came from a plant source and are fully usable by our body. The minerals that most over the counter vitamins use are actually real metals like iron that has been basically ground up. Our body can not process this. We can only use minerals that are taken from the ground by plants. Plants break down the minerals in soil. When we eat plants or veggies we get natural minerals that we can actually use.

I guarantee you will feel better and get way more benefit from an all natural, whole foods based vitamin. Do some research online about it. You wil be amazed at how bad centrum is for you and how good the natural stuff is. Unfortunately the good vitamins are only available at whole foods stores or you can find them at a great price on vitacost.com.

Simply halve the adult dosage for children mate.

But as an added thought ...... put one of the centrum multivitamins into a glass of white vinegar ....... if it doesn't start dissolving in 3 - 4 minutes throw the bottle in the trash ... vitamins aren't all the same you know...... there are good quality vitamins and there are bed pan bullets ........ no point spending your hard earned cash on useless supplements that your body can never digest.

Pharmaceutical grade is the best quality you can get ....... any health food store can guide you and at least then you know that you are getting what you paid for ........... easy to assimilate and usefull.

peace baby

Hope it Helps!Health Question & Answer

No to Centrum.

In response to Anonabyss1 who said "Draigess is absolutely incorrect." I beg to differ.

Getting vitamins and minerals from a safe food source is always better than man made synthetic chemicals. unfortunately our food supply is not as nutrient dense as it was in the past.
