Its nice to hear that someone who has knowledge and has looked into it takes Centrum, I use Equate which I’m under the impression is the same vitamin.
You have probably read this article before, its old but I assume nothing has changed.
“In a recent test of multivitamins, ConsumerLab.com found that Equate-Mature Multivitamin 50+ sold by Wal-Mart was just as good as the name brand Centrum Silver, but at less than a nickel a day is half the price.”

Give it a week another study will prove this one wrong.
The BEST Multivitamin is a 12 Ounce steak, without the fat cut off. Once that is understood by Americans, MAHA will have succeeded, and the Leftists will have been defeated.
“ The kind you swallow, or the kind you put in your butt?”

You should read the directions carefully. Those capsules should not be placed in your butt.
Now do vaccines...
The body can store retinol and excess is harmful. Multivitamins contain retinol. People with a lot of retinol have more bone problems.
People who consume more retinol have more bone problems.

My theory: MV usage gives people a false sense of good health and so are more likely to engage in more harmful behaviors, including over-eating and excessive use of alcohol.
Gunga, maybe you should return to Inja.
I'm guessing that's within the MOE of this study, or close enough that the study's results are meaningless.
Why? And give up the American dream life here? Come on man!!
I know you actually like me.
I think you hit the nail on the head
if possible, grow your own food
and stay away from processed food
Did the study consider that a large portion of partakers of these popular supplements do so because of medical issues, thus being more likely to have a higher mortality rate.
Nothing wrong with bacon & eggs balanced with veggies and HARD WORK or exercise.
I belonged to a country club for many years in Washington State. In a private club you get to know all frequent golfers. What I noticed is most were somewhat overweight, drank 3 drinks after playing 18. But never heard of anyone getting from heart attacks. That daily activity on golf course made them immune from heart issues. I walked the course. Most members rode carts. My health took a giant upward leap from walking 30 miles every week playing 5 rounds of 18. It was shocking to watch my health issues disappear one by one just from exercise.
When I first took B-12, it many years ago and was based on reading a professional level medical text article about the signs of a B-12 deficiency. I had developed fatigue, mild verbal aphasia, and short term memory problems that my doctor blithely dismissed as due to stress and over-work.
My reaction to several tablets of B-12 within a few hours on a Friday evening was such that I barely slept for the next three days due to a sudden burst of energy and mental activity.
The cause of the B-12 deficiency was unrecognized celiac disease, with a tooth extraction that required nitrous oxide gas probably aggravating that preexisting condition. A few months after taking the B-12, I stopped eating gluten and my health improved dramatically.
Good points. I have used the Adkins diet several times to good effect for weight loss. I also often add vitamin K-2 to my combination. I rely on multivitamins for iodine.
Years ago, I noticed that cheap multivitamins consistently resulted in me getting a cold. It happened several times in a row and put me off taking vitamins for some years. I later learned of the anti-vitamin effect with cheap multivitamins.
There was no such thing as ultra processed food when people were born in the early 1900’s. Plastic had not yet even been invented. So much has changed to make our lives easier and more pleasant, but probably not as healthy.
Of course, penicillin had not been discovered so people died of pneumonia and infections at any age.
Not a chance this is true
