Centrum Silver Adults 50+

Price varies
Budget-FriendlyUSP-VerifiedSenior HealthClinical Trial Backed

Centrum Silver scores lower on ingredient quality due to the use of low-bioavailability mineral oxides (Magnesium Oxide, Zinc Oxide) and synthetic dyes. However, it earns a high evidence score as it was the specific product used in the large-scale COSMOS clinical trials, proving efficacy for cognitive health. It remains a top-tier budget option due to its USP verification and extremely low cost-per-dose.
