Centrum Vitamins Have Toxic Ingredients

Okay, so if you’re like a LOT of people, you go to the health food aisle in your local store, and buy something healthy, right.  I mean, it says “vitamins” on the label.  So you think, hmmm, must be good.

Nope… a major player in the industry, Centrum Vitamins Have Toxic Ingredients.

And now you have yet another reason to be compelled to read EVERY SINGLE LABEL.  

Centrum Vitamins Have Toxic Ingredients That are NOT Good For You!

In a very compelling article by Dr. Josh Axe, he outlines very clearly all of the toxic ingredients contained in Centrum Vitamins.

Centrum vitamins are the No. 1-selling multivitamins in the country, but not without contention. The enormous vitamin brand is now owned by Pfizer, the largest pharmaceutical company in the world that deals mainly in manufactured chemicals. Pfizer is no stranger to controversy, fraud and legal battles. Centrum Vitamins Contain GMO, Food Dyes & Toxic Chemicals – Dr. Axe

The list of bad bad bad ingredients is EXTENSIVE… for example, GMO Corn Starch, Hydrogenated Palm Oil, Food Dye 6 and Titanium Dioxide to name just a handful of the toxic ingredients.

And to make things worse, the ingredients in the CHILDREN’S formula are just as bad. For heaven’s sake, these are vitamins that moms are supposed to be giving their children?

Centrum Children’s Vitamins contain artificial sweeteners (aspartame), zinc oxide (yes, like in sunscreen) and cupric oxide, a copper mineral, which is listed as a hazardous material in Europe, just to name a few.

There Are Plenty Of Good Quality Vitamins on Market

All you need to do is to read the labels on everything you buy.

And always keep in mind just because it says “vitamin” and it’s a big name brand does not mean it’s healthy.

Big drug companies are in this for the money, they could care less about what they are pumping into their cheaply made products.

What Do You Need to Know Before You Go To the Health Food Store?

Before you go to the health food store to get your vitamins, keep in mind that the best thing for you is high quality, organic-as-possible food.

Understanding that you may need to take a multivitamin supplement because of our hectic, stressful, overly busy lives, then just do your research before you plunk down your hard earned money on junk-food vitamins.

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”  ~Hippocrates

The most ideal scenario is to get your daily vitamins and minerals through the consumption of real, whole foods. If you plan on taking a supplement, however, you ideally should not have to reference a scientific encyclopedia to understand what’s in your vitamin.

Choose Your Food With This In Mind

One thing to remember when shopping and reading labels is to avoid foods that contain more than five ingredients and that have ingredients that your kids cannot pronounce!  Keep it simple. Look for healthy, ONE INGREDIENT foods, veggies, fruits, lean meats, and healthy starches like sweet potatoes and brown rice.

To Your Health!
