Centrum Multivitamins for Adults Vs. One a Day Weight Smart Multivitamin

Ever wonder, which multivitamin is better? Each time I run out of vitamins I always cringe because that means another trip to the pharmacy store to go through the numerous amounts of multivitamins. I guess it is the price that everyone must take though for a brighter, healthier future. So, which is better, Centrum or One-A-Day?

For years I have been taking Centrum since it was just about the only product on the market shelves in my smaller city in the Midwest. When I finally went to college and moved into a larger city, I was amazed on how many choices were out there on the market for multivitamins. Centrum was the most accessible however my eyes were open to new products that were on the market specifically formulated to increase activity and health for certain types of people.

One-a-day Weight Smart Multivitamin is specifically formulated with ECGC, Green Tea and some other essential vitamin B supplements to increase the metabolism in women. Unlike most multivitamins, this product is Ephedra free which is a load off my mind. Ephedra is a dangerous Chinese supplement that has been known for years to be used in weight loss drugs however the FDA passed a law to forbid the sale of Ephedra unless it is a prescription weight loss drug since it causes serious side-effects. Not only does it help in the aid in weight loss, it also provides 100% vitamins for each day. The company that produces it is Bayer.

Centrum is strictly a multivitamin that is for adults, it does not provide assistance in weight loss or cholesterol such as One-A-Day. Centrum provides 100% of the daily vitamins that are needed to last through the day. This multivitamin is great for those that want to stick to the name-brand vitamin with the fewest choices. The company that produces it is Wyeth.
