Ingredients
-
A: Lutein and zeaxanthin are types of plant pigments called carotenoids which give certain vegetables a yellow to reddish hue. These nutrients are found in the retinas of the eyes, where they are responsible for absorbing high-energy blue wavelengths of light that could damage vision. Low levels of lutein and zeaxanthin are associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataract, two eye diseases that lead to vision loss.
-
A: B vitamins (such as thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, B6, B12, biotin, and pantothenic acid) play an important role in converting proteins, fats, and carbohydrates to energy. For thousands of years, ginseng root has been used in China, Korea, and Japan because of its reported benefit of feelings of vitality and wellbeing.*
-
A: Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are two types of omega-3 fatty acids. EPA and DHA have been shown to confer health benefits in humans by supporting heart, brain, and eye health.* EPA and DHA omega-3s are naturally found in oily fish like salmon, halibut, sardines, and anchovies. Aside from fish, there are extremely few food sources that naturally provide EPA and DHA. And while the body can synthesize EPA and DHA in very small amounts, supplementation is helpful to get the proper amounts.
-
A: There are two forms of vitamin D—vitamin D2 and vitamin D3. While vitamin D2 is a plant-derived form of vitamin D, vitamin D3 is found in animal-sourced foods and can be made in human skin upon exposure to sunlight and is also found in animal-sourced foods. Vitamin D3 can also be consumed through supplements. We choose vitamin D3 for our Centrum and Centrum Silver multivitamin products because it is the more potent form of vitamin D.
-
A: Everyone needs vitamin D because it plays an important role in calcium absorption and bone health as well as in muscle and immune health. Vitamin D can be obtained via diet, supplements, and skin exposure to sunlight. However, vitamin D is found in very few foods and thus is a nutrient difficult to get enough of through diet alone. To find out how much vitamin D is right for you, please check with your healthcare provider.
-
A: Vitamin D is found in a limited number of foods, such as fatty fish (salmon, herring, mackerel), liver, eggs, margarine, and fortified milk. Your body also produces vitamin D in response to sun exposure, which can vary throughout the year. vitamin D can also be obtained through supplements like Centrum multivitamins, which contain vitamin D3—a preferred form of vitamin D.
