  • Am I too young for Centrum Silver?

    So I've been on induction for a week now and I've been taking Centrum Silver multivitamin since it's has no Iron.

    I'm curious though, since it is specifically market towards people over the age 50 if perhaps it could somehow be harmful for me to take since I'm only 24?

    Thanks.

    I would ask my doctor to be sure, but I can't imagine it being *harmful*.

    Inadequate for your needs, maybe, at most?

      NO, it will not harm you and is actually recommended because too much iron is harmful to the heart. A lot of the foods on the Atkins foods list are quite adequate in iron, so unless you have been tested and you know you are low in iron, supplemental iron should be avoided.

        I've been taking that type for years and my Doctor is the one who recommended it to me. I'm 36.
