Centrum Silver was suggested to me by a friend, even though I’m not over 55. It really is forumlated for men of any age, and has a broad balance of vitamins a minerals found in few other multivitamins. I have been taking it for three weeks now, and I feel slightly better overall.

Product itself is awesome but I was disappointed when it arrived. It was a bit different than the picture, so I am giving 4 stars instead of 5. The bottle I received didn’t have the logo of “NEW SMALLER TABLETS” at top as you see in the picture. I opened it anyway and the size was the same as our old bottle. Oh well, I guess it still works the same….

Price is good also. The only problem is the tablets are kind of too big to swallow.

Excellent deal on 220 tablets of Centrum Silver. This is about a 50% savings from buying this product from a local drug store; and it probably is the best on the market.

Centrum-brand vitamins are made by a quality company, which is important in buying vitamins. Since the vitamin industry is not regulated by the FDA, manufacturers can put just about anything on the label to sell their product, and many do! Oft times the supposed ingredients are not even in the product, and this is why a name-brand product is essential. The Centrum-brand is one that the consumer can trust.

Centrum-Silver is a product targeted for adults and those older than 55 years of age. However, this vitamin formulation can be taken by any adult with effectiveness.

Vitamins are elements and chemical compounds that help the body's cells function better, mostly in the area of cell/body metabolism. If one eats a balanced diet high in greens and fruits, extra store-bought vitamins are probably not essential, as vitamins are supplied in adequate quantities in the food consumed. However, the typical American diet is notorious for being high in sugars and low in veggies and fruits, therefore making supplemental vitamins important. Diets high in sugars demand more vitamin compounds to help metabolize the sugars. Since the average American consumes more than 110 pounds of dietary (table sugar: ,sucrose) sugars each year, supplemental vitamins are important if not essential to take on a daily basis.

When selecting a vitamin product, it is important to get the basic vitamins, such as the A's to E's, but it is also important to get the minerals and trace elements too, as these compounds and elements are essential to metabolism and cellular health of the body's various functions including the immune system. This product has all the basics covered and more, and that is why I like it.

Most vitamin companies when formulating their vitamin compound give 100% of the RDA or more. I am not a believer in mega-vitamins (formulations that provide many times more than the RDA) because the body can only use so much and the extra is generally excreted in the urine. The only exception to this rule is the fat-soluble vitamins, (Vitamin A, E, and K). Fat-soluble vitamins can be stored to excess in the body and can reach toxic levels. With this in mind, it makes no sense to continually consume fat-soluble vitamins in excess.

One final thing: many manufacturers make claims that their vitamin product is going to make you "feel" better, a sensation of vitality that will be noticable. Perhaps if you have been in a state of malnutrition for many years, this claim may be valid for some, but I have taken vitamins most of my life, and I feel about the same whether I take them or not. Rather than judge the effectiveness of vitamins on how they "feel", judge them instead on knowing that you have all the bases covered in terms of cell metabolism, for once this is covered, your cells will be as healthy as nutrition can make them.

Excellent text, a great reference and a great resource. It is written and illustrated in a little more modern style than Wheeler’s Dental Anatomy, which was what I learned from. We are using Woelfel’s a great deal in our teaching.

This is a very good book for students who want to learn about the anatomy of dentistry in full detail. This book is well-written with clear and interesting diagrams making learning more easier. I couldn’t have found a better book.
