What muti-vitamin is right for me?

06/18/2008

Question:

Is there a better brand of mutli-vitamin than others for a 53 year old women allready gone through menopause?

Answer:

Use a multi-vitamin like Centrum Silver®. It's designed for the woman over 50 and those who have gone through menopause. I personally use a store brand. The multivitamin designed for the older woman has a lower iron level in it than a normal multi-vitamin because a woman past menopause is no longer losing iron through monthly menstruation.
