Centrum

Centrum is a globally recognized brand of multivitamin and multimineral supplements, currently owned by Haleon. Originally developed by Dr. Leon Ellenbogen at Lederle Laboratories in the 1950s and launched in 1978, the brand has become the world's most clinically studied multivitamin. Its product line includes specialized formulations for various demographics, such as Centrum Silver for adults over 50, gender-specific multivitamins, and targeted supplements for energy, immunity, and cognitive health. The brand's history involves ownership by major pharmaceutical companies including Pfizer and GSK before being part of the Haleon spin-off in 2022. Centrum products are widely used in large-scale clinical trials, including the landmark Physicians' Health Study II, to evaluate the long-term health benefits of micronutrient supplementation.
