This 250 count package is available at any pharmacy and grocery store for $16.99 -- makes you wonder how Amazon arrives at the list price of $29.99 and the seemingly fabulous 43% discount to arrive at the selling price of $16.99.

Its a superb product, mind you -- but makes on think what other inflated list prices Amazon lists on its website to offer seemingly good deals (I've noticed this in the electronics section several times, but never inflated by such a high percentage...)

Update on November 10 2006: Amazon has since lowered the price to 13.99

I work out a lot! This is just great for your daily dose of vitamins, I don't get sick as much as I used to. Take half before lunch and the other half at night before dinner.

I've had to stop taking these pills after a week because whenever I take them I get a terrible stomach ache. This new formula is bad. Search for other reviews of these vitamins before you buy them, it seems that they have been giving a lot of people stomach problems. Don't buy these they are not worth it. I'm going back to GNC mega man sport.

When I was a student, I had tons of time on my hands. I wandered the aisles of the pharmacy and checked out the labels of all the multivitamin/multimineral bottles. Centrum had more vitamins and minerals crammed into each tablet than any other multivitamin/multimineral tablet. If you are looking for a broad range of vitamins and minerals, sort of a safety net in case you're missing anything, this would be it. It's no substitute for eating, but it's a nice backup.

I used to take the old formula with no problems. Something about this one has me getting really sick. It took me a while to figure that it was this vitamin making me sick. After taking this tablet with food or after food, In about 15 minutes I start to feel severe pain around my chest, hardly able to breath. It happened at work and I almost called 911 and my husband, I was sure it was a heart attack. Good thing I waited and after about 1 hour I was OK. I waited a few weeks and tried it again, exact same thing happened. Now I am stuck with a huge bottle of vitamins I cannot use.

This given me stomach ache within 5 minutes of eating. Initially I thought its due to the humongous size of the tablet but even breaking it into smaller pieces didn't fix it.

I'm 67 years old,but I'm very active with daily excercise. Centrum gives me all the boost to keep on going and going.Great stuff.

this stuff gives a very annoyin stomach pain, looks like it's d new formula. i wish i had read other people's reviews

Each time me and my husband take Centrum (the NEW formula), we always get a very bad stomach ache which stays for an hour or so. The previous formulation of the Centrum multivitamins,seemed to be okay. I have switched to a different brand, because the stomach pain can be quite severe at times.

dont take this... i had stomach aches too after taking this tablets...i read somewhere they had a coating which is difficult to digest.
