The science behind Centrum was founded in the 1950s by young scientist Dr. Leon It began with Ellenbogen ‘s study in New York on the use of nutritional support in cancer patients. Later, with his increasing interest in vitamins, he focused on the effects of vitamins on human metabolism and as a result of his research, Centrum The idea of a multivitamin was born. In the early 1970s he decided to develop a complete multivitamin and multimineral supplement to support healthy living. As a result of all these researches, the first Centrum multivitamin met with consumers in 1978. Multivitamin preferred by millions of people around the world Centrum provides multi support to its users with each tablet.

“For a healthy life, it is important to use multivitamins correctly and appropriately.
Expressing that choosing the right vitamin is very important for a quality life, Prof. Dr. Osman Müftüoğlu stated that unconscious use of vitamins can cause problems in the body and said, “The correct and appropriate use of vitamins and multivitamins is indispensable for a healthy life.”
Prof. Dr. Osman Müftüoğlu made the following statements regarding the use of multivitamins, “Multivitamins, known as multi-food supplements, are capsules or tablets consisting of specially formulated supplement combinations. My personal opinion on multivitamins is as follows; If your doctor deems it necessary, he may want to measure which vitamin you need with some blood tests. Do not use high doses of monovitamins at your own discretion. It should not be forgotten that the use of unconscious and high doses of monovitamin, mineral and antioxidant supplements can cause harm instead of benefit. If you are thinking of becoming a stronger, more energetic, more resistant person in general, you can still benefit from a reliable multivitamin supplement by consulting your doctor or pharmacist. Especially school-age children and teenagers, and people aged 50 and over can also benefit from multivitamin supplements.”
