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.

Women's Multi
OLLY Women's Multi is a pleasant, NSF-certified gummy that covers vitamin D, folate, iodine and B12 well, and its taste keeps people consistent. It is a partial multi, though, with no iron, little zinc and selenium, and fewer B vitamins than before its reformulation. It suits pill-averse women who get iron elsewhere; others will get more from a tablet.
