Reviews from people who used this product:
1) “I have recently switched to Centrum after I realized that my old vitamins wasn’t doing me a lot of good except make me gain weight. I don’t know if anybody of you have felt how it is to be like a zombie, but Centrum has made me zombie like. I am always hungry, and no matter how much I eat I always end up hungry. My metabolism and digestion has sky rocketed; that part was obvious from the amount of bowel I move everyday. Then there’s the matter of being too energetic. It’s like no matter how much I exercise, I still have a lot of energy left in my body. I would go wall climbing before I go home, and I would always end up sitting in front of the TV eating ice cream or something and watching TV until I finally feel sleepy in the middle of the night. Also, I have been experiencing light sleep. I am really a heavy sleeper, and you would think I was dead when I sleep other than the fact that I am breathing. But recently, the smaller movement out my window or a light tap on my shoulder will force me wide awake, even if I lack sleep. I would always wake up in the morning, energetic and ready to go. By mid-afternoon I still have the same level of energy and that doesn’t stop until the middle of the night. I should be happy that I have enough fuel in my body to keep me going and be able to do a lot of things in a whole day. But I know that the time will come when I will burn out.”
2) “Centrum Performance Multi Vitamins have been a great addition to my daily ritual as far as keeping me healthy. I’m a runner and honestly I probably without these vitamins get nearly enough of what I should on a daily basis. Because I certainly need more than the normal person does considering I run 70 to 80 miles a week. If I took in the normal amount of calories that most people do my buddy would fall apart in a heartbeat.
Before I started taking these on a daily basis I felt as if my body was falling apart after runs and classes and it seemed as if the only way I could make it all the way through the day was if I took at least an hour a day nap. That is normal I’m only 21 and outside of running and classes I don’t do much it should have been such a struggle for me to get through the day. When I started taking these though I felt so much better than I had before I was taking them. Now honestly I don’t know if it was all just in my head or if it was really helping me out. I mean I’m sure it was helping me out with the vitamins that I wasn’t getting and I’m pretty sure it was helping me out with my energy during the day.
Another thing that I haven’t gotten since I started taking them is any sort of cold, and or flu or anything of that nature. My immune system is already compromised because of all the exercise that I do. The running really keeps my body fighting all sorts of colds, and bugs that are going around because I’m almost always tearing my body down. But my body seems like it’s doing much better than it was before I started taking them.
I also find them very affordable and for the way they have helped me feel more then worth it. I wouldn’t trade these for anything. I’ve had people tell me other things were better but they just haven’t been in my price range. These are a great cost effective way for me to continue to keep myself healthier for the long run.
I’ve also noticed on my hard runs and or races have been going much better since I’ve been on these vitamins. I feel as if I have so much more energy than I did before and my endurance during races has really been upped since I started. I recently ran a great race, and ran completely over my head and I do contribute it to the extra energy that I seem to get from having all of my vitamins every day now, and not missing out on most of them on a daily basis.
So if you don’t take a multi vitamin and you aren’t getting everything you need from food. Then I would highly suggest these to you. Or at least to find one that works well for you!”
3) “Before going to bed, every night I use to drink my vitamins to keep me stay strong and healthy. My friend recommend me to drink Centrum complete, actually I don’t need to drink vitamins because I know that I am strong and physically fit but as a busy college student, Most of the time I stay late up night just to finish my home works and school projects, so I didn’t realize that I am not eating the right meal everyday to support my body and nutrition needs, I wondered if vitamins will replace the nutritional value of the food give, so I asked my doctor about it, he said vitamins just add nutrition’s in our body, he still advised me to eat proper foods and at the same time drink vitamins every day. Centrum is a good vitamin that hit in the market today, Centrum gives complete vitamins A to Zinc. After a couple of weeks of using Centrum I noticed some changes on my skin and I become more energetic than before, I did the advice of my doctor and I know Centrum done a good job, I highly recommend Centrum complete because it is really effective and affordable.”

At first, these gave me a stomach ache for 5-10 min, but after a few days, I do not get them anymore, thank God. Plain and simple, these work. These are the only vitamins I’ve ever tried or used, so I cannot judge them relative to others.
But, I do feel more energy in the morning (I am not a morning person at all) and it lasts well into the evening. I feel a noticeable difference during and after workouts, too. I do not get as tired, and I feel great all day. Highly recommended for those who have an active lifestyle, although I will probably try the GNC Mega Men multivitamins at some point.

Not sure how you are supposed to rate Vitamins; but these seem to be the best I have used as an adult. Far superior to Kirkland Brand Vitamin’s — which I was using for several years — and they don’t leave a nasty taste in your mouth when swallowing the Vitamin.
Overall, wonderful product.

These vitamins are average, and they work well. I’ve never been disappointed by Centrum. They are cheaper online too – a definite plus. If you need a good average vitamin and want a bit of a “kick” with them, this is for you.
Note for those avoiding iron: this already has a full daily value’s worth. So, if you’re eating a lot of meat, or are younger and don’t really need it (studies have shown extra iron can be very bad for you), might be better to look for a different blend. Just making a note of it here because I didn’t know it had it when I bought the bottle.

Some extras over Centrum regular include additional quantities of vitamins and minerals along with ginseng root and gingko bilboa. I work out a few times a week and jog for 5 miles 3 times a week…so I think my body can handle this, but I drink a lot of water! Trust me, you’ll want to! I definitely recommend it but only if you’re physically exerting yourself. On days that I know I’m not going to, I take regular or skip it.

Centrum Performance has all the vitamins Centrum (original) has, but it’s packed with a heavy amount of B vitamins, a little bit of ginseng root, and some gingko bilboa.
I don’t know about the health benefits of ginseng root, but gingko bilboa is supposedly said to increase blood flow to the brain. Good for improving the memeory.
Just a caveat: This version has a tad bit less calcium than the original versino. Only 10%…meaning you’d have to either eat more peas and bell peppers and/or drink more milk to compensate…but remember that centrum is just a supplement for the typical American diet that is oily and lacking in nutrients.

I received them on time and they are a far better value than the vitamins I was using before. I haven’t had any adverse side effects from using these. Not that I would expect to.
