Stomach pain!!
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
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.

centrum vitamins
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I used to take the old formula with no problems. Something about this one has me getting really sick. It took me a while to figure that it was this vitamin making me sick. After taking this tablet with food or after food, In about 15 minutes I start to feel severe pain around my chest, hardly able to breath. It happened at work and I almost called 911 and my husband, I was sure it was a heart attack. Good thing I waited and after about 1 hour I was OK. I waited a few weeks and tried it again, exact same thing happened. Now I am stuck with a huge bottle of vitamins I cannot use.

Strange side effects, but great value
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I have an admittedly poor diet(almost entirely tofu hotdogs, slim jims and vegan frozen pizzas), so I decided to get some vitamins to help balance things out. Well, Centrum is probably the biggest name in the vitamin world, so I figured why not start there. And thus my journey into health began…
I used this product for 4 weeks and noticed some strange effects. After about 3 weeks of taking my vitamins I was feeling better than ever, but I noticed that I started to exude a cabbage-like odor. At first I thought nothing of it and attributed it to my now higher nutrient intake from the vitamin pills and the accumulation of these nutrients in my skin cells. However, about 5 days after I first noticed the smell(which had intensified each day) I went to take a shower and to my horror, saw a broccoli-like growth on my inner thigh. I quickly cut it off with my bunion shears and continued to shower as normal. I convinced myself that the growth was just a one-time side effect that would go away once my body adapted to the new super-concentrated amounts of nutrients I was now feeding it. But alas, five or six days later another growth sprouted up, this time on the top of my right foot. Well, that was about all I was willing to put up with, so despite my increased vigor and vitality, I immediately stopped taking my vitamins.
I’ve since come to the conclusion that the human body is just not meant to digest such a massive quantity of potent nutrients as is provided in these Centrum pills. I am not an expert on the human genome, but my theory is that the flood of plant-based vitamins and minerals somehow “tricks” the body’s DNA into thinking it is in fact plant DNA! Perhaps given enough time the body will re-adjust to its new nutrient supply and the DNA will go back to normal, but I was not willing to wait and see. I hope that other more resilient reviewers will report on their long term progress with these vitamins.
In the end, despite Centrum’s EXCELLENT value among vitamin supplements, I believe that it is too potent for the average human being and therefore must award it only 4 stars.

Best price around

I found this to be the best price and made the purchase. I am always looking for the best price in products. Shipping on time and will do business in the future once again with this company. Totally Satisfied!

Cetrum

Top of line multi-vitamin bought from Amazon. The product was delivered quickly and had a good shelf life. It also qualified for a free shipping which is a bonus.

stomach ache
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I have decided to switch from Centrum because Centrum gives me a stomach ache each time I take it. The stomach ache disappears after an hour but it is not worth the pain.

stomach ache
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
This given me stomach ache within 5 minutes of eating. Initially I thought its due to the humongous size of the tablet but even breaking it into smaller pieces didn’t fix it.

Upsets stomach even if taken after meals
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Each time me and my husband take Centrum (the NEW formula), we always get a very bad stomach ache which stays for an hour or so. The previous formulation of the Centrum multivitamins,seemed to be okay. I have switched to a different brand, because the stomach pain can be quite severe at times.
