Our verdicts

Silver Women 50+ Multivitamin

Centrum Silver Women 50+ is a well-dosed, very inexpensive daily multivitamin for women over 50, with dependable vitamin D, B12 and iodine and the strongest trial pedigree of any drugstore brand. The memory benefits seen in COSMOS were small and came from the unisex Centrum Silver formula rather than this women's version, and the tablet has no third-party seal, little calcium and synthetic colors. It suits most women past menopause who want simple nutritional insurance, as long as they know it contains 8 mg of iron.

Multi for Him

Nature Made Multi for Him is the best value in this category for most men: USP Verified, iron-free and dosed near the Daily Value for about 11 cents a day. It uses basic nutrient forms and contains gelatin, but as a straightforward nutritional insurance policy it is hard to beat.
