is it ok to take centrum silver vitamins even though i am not over 50?
I just bought a bottle of it and it says its formulated for adult over 50. I am 27 and the reason i chose this because iron irritate my stomach and centrum silver does not contain any iron. so is it ok for me to take centrum silver? any side effects? Thanks.

Yes, It’s fine.
Vitamins are vitamins. They may have slight variations in quantities of individual compounds but your requirements have more to do with your diet than anything else.
The age group listed on the label is just marketing… Makes the vitamins sound more important if they target a specific group.

It’s fine, it won’t give you instant grey hair or anything, it’s just vitamins in slightly different amounts because people over 50 absorb things less well. If you’re really concerned, go look at the label on an under-50 formulation and compare the differences. They’re not that different.
