Need for multivitamins in people over 50 years

Studies have shown that people over 50 years old generally suffer from chronic fatigue, insomnia (irregular sleep), poor diet, hormone-related psychopathological and pathophysiological disorders such as stress, and osteoporosis and these conditions take a heavy toll on their physical and mental well-being. The absorbent capacity of the nutrient content also reduces in the older people who necessitate higher intake of calories that are full of nutrition. Getting adequate nutrition can be a challenge as you get older. The number of calories you need begins to decline. Every calorie you consume must be packed with nutrition. The body becomes less efficient at absorbing some key nutrients. Several key nutrients, in particular, may be in short supply as you get older. Proper and regular intake of multivitamins like Centrum® VitaMints® can help meet the nutrients necessary for the body as a requirement to promote health and wellness as well as to increase the energy levels and build the immune system of an ageing person. According to the survey conducted by Prevention and Centrum®, almost 75% of the Americans perceived that taking vitamins and minerals based on the recommended daily servings, is the key to suffice the body with essential nutrients and to promote holistic care. The National Health and Nutrition Examination provide its assessment regarding Centrum Vitamints products, in which 9 out of 10 Americans do not get the ample amount of nutrition if they solely depend on food alone.

WARNINGS

Implications on High Consumption

The Centrum® VitaMints® is a multi-mineral/multi-vitamin supplement that can provide the necessary nutrients to the body. Vitamins are essential to nourish the deficiency and supply the needed nutrition. The supplement contains various micronutrients with an RDI (Recommended Daily Intake) percentage range of 100% up to 250% based on the nutritional facts of the Centrum® VitaMints®. Over-consumption of vitamins can produce adverse effects/reactions, and trigger the development of symptoms, and/or diseases. It is important to consider the consequences of taking vitamins in order to prevent overdosage. It is also important to remember that the product should not be used if the user is allergic to any of the ingredients it contains. The dosage of each of the vitamins and their side effects are enumerated as follows:

VITAMINS/MINERALS	NORMAL DOSAGE for Adults	SIDE EFFECTS
Vitamin B6	1.3-1.7mg/day(1.3 milligrams in men and women ages 19-50; 1.7 milligrams in men aged 51 and older; and 1.3 milligrams in women aged 51 and older). The maximum daily intake of vitamin B6 in adult, pregnant or breastfeeding women over the age 18 is 100 mg/day	Vitamin B6 may cause abnormal heart rhythms, acne, allergic reactions, breast enlargement or soreness, changes in folic acid levels, decreased muscle tone, drowsiness or sedation, feeling of a lump in the throat, feeling of tingling on the skin, headache, heartburn, loss of appetite, metallic taste, nausea, rash, recurrence of ulcerative colitis (an inflammatory bowel disorder), stomach discomfort or pain, sun sensitivity, vomiting, and worsened asthma.Side effects to some ingredients of high-dose pyridoxine hydrochloride (which is injected into the vein) are possible. Vitamin B6 may cause low blood pressure. Caution is advised in people with blood pressure disorders or in those taking drugs or herbs and supplements that lower blood pressure. Vitamin B6 may affect blood sugar levels. Caution is advised in people with diabetes or low blood sugar, and in those taking drugs, herbs, or supplements that affect blood sugar. Blood sugar levels may need to be monitored by a qualified healthcare professional, including a pharmacist, and medication adjustments may be necessary. Vitamin B6 may increase the risk of bleeding. Caution is advised in people with bleeding disorders or taking drugs that may increase the risk of bleeding. Dosing adjustments may be necessary. Use cautiously in people who have heart conditions or stomach and intestine conditions. Use cautiously in people taking agents for Parkinson's disease, as they may interact with vitamin B6. Avoid in people with known allergy or sensitivity to any ingredient in vitamin B6 products. Avoid in doses higher than 200 milligrams daily, due to the risk of nerve pain and seizures. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Vitamin B6 is likely safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women when taken by mouth in doses not exceeding the recommended daily intake. Avoid high doses during pregnancy or breastfeeding. A special product has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use during pregnancy, but it should not be used long-term or in high doses without the guidance of a medical provider, due to the risk of seizures in infants.
Vitamin C	75-120 mg/day (for women more than 18 years old, it is 75 milligrams daily, for men more than 18 years old is 90 milligrams, for pregnant women more than 18 years old, it is 85 milligrams daily; and for breastfeeding women more than 18 years old, it is 120 milligrams daily), the upper dosage 2000 mg/day	Taking Vitamin C supplements are generally regarded as safe in most individuals in recommended amounts. Vitamin C may cause abdominal cramps or pain, chest pain, dental erosion, dizziness, diarrhea, faintness, fatigue, flushing, gut blockage, headache, heartburn, increased risk of lung cancer, increased risk of Parkinson's disease, inflamed esophagus, injection site discomfort, nausea, red blood cell complications, skin tingling or irritation, slowing of endurance training, thickening of blood vessels close to the heart, urinary complications, and vomiting. High doses of vitamin C have been associated with multiple adverse effects. These include blood clotting, death (heart-related), kidney stones, pro-oxidant effects, problems with the digestive system, and red blood cell destruction. In cases of toxicity due to massive ingestion of vitamin C, forced fluids, and diuresis may be beneficial. Use cautiously in chronic, large doses. Healthy adults who take chronic large doses of vitamin C may experience low blood levels of vitamin C when they stop taking the high doses and resume normal intake. Vitamin C in high doses appears to interfere with the blood-thinning effects of anticoagulants such as warfarin. Caution is advised in people with bleeding disorders or those taking drugs that affect bleeding. Dosing adjustments may be necessary. Vitamin C may affect blood sugar levels. Caution is advised in people with diabetes or hypoglycemia, and in those taking drugs, herbs, or supplements that affect blood sugar. Blood glucose levels may need to be monitored by a qualified healthcare professional, including a pharmacist. Medication adjustments may be necessary. Vitamin C may increase blood pressure. Caution is advised in people with high blood pressure. Use cautiously in people with cancer (e.g. lung), cataracts, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, anemia and related conditions, disorders of the gut, kidney stones, or sickle cell disease. Use cautiously in people after angioplasty and in pregnant women at risk of high blood pressure during pregnancy. Use cautiously in greater than recommended doses in breastfeeding women. Use cautiously in people taking antibiotics, anticancer agents, HIV medications, barbiturates, estrogens, fluphenazine, or iron supplements. Use injected vitamin C cautiously, especially in high doses, as it may lead to kidney function problems. Use vitamin C tablets cautiously, as dental erosion may occur from chewing vitamin C tablets often. Avoid in people with known allergy or sensitivity to any ingredients in Vitamin C products. Avoid high doses of vitamin C in people with conditions aggravated by increased acids, such as advanced liver disease, gout, a disease where kidneys fail to remove extra acid from the body, or a disease with the early breakdown of red blood cells. Avoid high doses of vitamin C in people with kidney failure or in those taking agents that may damage the kidneys. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Vitamin C intake from food is generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Use cautiously in greater than recommended doses in pregnant and breastfeeding women. Use vitamin C cautiously in those at risk of high blood pressure during pregnancy.
Vitamin D	600-800 IU (600 IU for those 1-70 years of age and pregnant or breastfeeding women, and 800 IU for those over 71 years of age)	Vitamin D is likely safe when taken by mouth in doses of 100 micrograms of vitamin D3 daily (4,000 IU) and when applied to the skin alone or in combination with corticosteroids for up to three months. Vitamin D is possibly safe when taken by mouth or injected into the muscle in doses of 300,000 IU three times a year for vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D may cause allergic skin reactions (inflammation, irritation, rash, and thinning), build-up of calcium in the arteries, changes in cholesterol levels, daytime sleepiness, excessive vitamin D levels, hardening of the arteries, headaches, increased calcium excretion or increased calcium blood levels, increased risk of falls and fractures, increased risk of heart attack and stroke, increased risk of high blood pressure during pregnancy, increased risk of urinary tract infection, kidney or urinary stones, muscle pain, respiratory tract infection, and stomach problems (constipation, cramps, diarrhea, upset stomach, and vomiting). Vitamin D may affect blood sugar levels. Caution is advised in people with diabetes or low blood sugar, and in those taking drugs, herbs, or supplements that affect blood sugar. Blood sugar levels may need to be monitored by a qualified healthcare professional, including a pharmacist, and medication adjustments may be necessary. Vitamin D may affect blood pressure. Caution is advised in people with blood pressure disorders or those taking drugs or herbs and supplements that affect blood pressure. Use cautiously in people with headaches, heart disease, immune disorders (including lymph cancer and tuberculosis), kidney disease, liver disease, lung disorders, musculoskeletal disorders, skin disorders, stomach disorders, and thyroid disorders. Use cautiously in pregnant women at risk of high blood pressure associated with pregnancy. Use cautiously in breastfeeding women. Avoid in people with known allergy or sensitivity to vitamin D, any similar compounds, or any part of the formula. Avoid in people with abnormal calcium excretion or levels. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Use cautiously in pregnant women at risk of high blood pressure associated with pregnancy. The recommended adequate intake for pregnant women is the same as for non-pregnant adults. Most prenatal vitamins provide 400 IU of vitamin D daily as cholecalciferol while high-risk populations may benefit from higher amounts (2,000-4,000 IU daily). Use cautiously in breastfeeding women. The daily recommended intake of vitamin D during breastfeeding is 400 IU (10 micrograms) daily. Vitamin D2 in doses of 2,000 IU daily or 60,000 IU monthly for three months has been found to be safe and effective. Exclusively breastfed babies may be supplemented with 400-2,000 IU daily.
Vitamin E	22.5-28.5 IU/day (for adults over 14 is 15 milligrams (or 22.5 IU); for pregnant women of any age, it is 15 milligrams (or 22.5 IU), and for breastfeeding women of any age, it is 19 milligrams (or 28.5 IU)). For adults older than 18 years, pregnant women, and breastfeeding women, the maximum dose is 1,000 milligrams daily (or 1,500 IU)	Vitamin E is likely safe when used in healthy adults at doses commonly found in food, and in healthy people over 65 at doses up to 800 IU taken by mouth daily for up to four months. Vitamin E is possibly safe in people with diabetes or those using agents that lower blood sugar. Vitamin E may cause allergic skin reactions (inflammation or itching), blurred vision, changes in cholesterol levels, changes in insulin resistance, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue, flu-like symptoms, headache, heart conditions, increased risk of death, increased risk of fainting or falls, increased risk of heart failure, increased risk of high blood pressure in pregnancy, increased risk of stroke, increased risk of tuberculosis, kidney dysfunction, nausea, severe response to infection (in preterm babies), sexual dysfunction, stomach pain, vision loss, and weakness. Use cautiously in smokers and in people with Alzheimer's disease or mental decline, eye damage, kidney problems, heart conditions, and skin conditions. Use cautiously in preterm babies. Use cautiously when using long-term (more than 10 years). Vitamin E may increase the risk of bleeding. Avoid in people with bleeding disorders or taking drugs that may increase the risk of bleeding. Avoid using high doses by mouth or high doses injected into the vein. Avoid using high doses in pregnant women, due to the risk of heart problems in the baby. Avoid in people with known allergy or sensitivity to products that contain vitamin E. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Many prenatal vitamins contain small amounts of vitamin E. Natural forms of vitamin E may be preferred to man-made forms. Use cautiously in preterm babies. Avoid using high doses in pregnant women, due to the risk of heart problems in the baby.
Manganese	Adequate intake of 2.3 mg/day for adult men and 1.8 mg/day for adult women	Excess manganese in the body can cause serious side effects, including symptoms resembling Parkinson's disease, such as shaking (tremors).
Folic Acid	250-1000 mcg (for adults over 13 years, 400 mcg; Pregnant women 600 mcg; and breast-feeding women, 500 mcg. The tolerable upper intake levels (UL) of folate is 1000 mcg for everyone over 18 years of age)	High doses of folic acid might cause abdominal cramps, diarrhea, rash, sleep disorders, irritability, confusion, nausea, stomach upset, behavior changes, skin reactions, seizures, gas, excitability, and other side effects. There is some concern that taking too much folic acid for a long period of time might cause serious side effects. Some research suggests that taking folic acid in doses of 800-1200 mcg might increase the risk of heart attack in people who have heart problems. Other research suggests that taking these high doses might also increase the risk of cancer such as lung or prostate cancer.
Iodine	For adults Recommended Dietary Amounts (RDA) have been set: people age 14 and older, 150 mcg/day, for pregnant women, the RDA is 209 mcg/day, and breastfeeding women, 290 mcg/day. the Tolerable Upper Intake Level is 1100 mcg/day.	Common side effects include nausea and stomach pain, runny nose, headache, metallic taste, and diarrhea. In sensitive people, iodine can cause side effects including swelling of the lips and face (angioedema), severe bleeding and bruising, fever, joint pain, lymph node enlargement, allergic reactions including hives, and death. In both children and adults, there is concern that higher intake can increase the risk of side effects such as thyroid problems. Iodine in larger amounts can cause metallic taste, soreness of teeth and gums, burning in mouth and throat, increased saliva, throat inflammation, stomach upset, diarrhea, wasting, depression, skin problems, and many other side effects. When iodine is used directly on the skin, it can cause skin irritation, stains, allergic reactions, and other side effects. Be careful not to bandage or tightly cover areas that have been treated with iodine to avoid iodine burn.

DATE	AUTHOR	COMMENT
September 17, 2015	FLBamaFan	Great product! I don't normally take vitamins. I hate taking pills and sometimes those vitamin gummies are too tough and it feels like your chewing on jerky. So I was happy that someone was taking a different approach to fill a vitamin option need. These Vitamints from Centrum are perfect.

I have trouble taking regular vitamins as they are often large in size, taste bad and will usually upset my stomach. I am skeptical of gummy vitamins and the amount of vitamin your body would actually absorb. And honestly, the chewable vitamins do not taste like I remember them as a kid. Centrum Vitamints make taking vitamins easy. The recommended serving size is 2 vitamins. They are small and have a fresh minty taste to them when chewed. They are not breath mints, however, they do leave your mouth feeling cool and refreshed. There is no vitamin aftertaste. My stomach tolerated them well, even when I took them on an empty stomach.
