Centrum Specialist multivitamins with specific benefits includes Prenatal, Vision, Energy and Heart.¹ With these new offerings, Centrum expands its commitment to providing a comprehensive portfolio to help people achieve health and wellness.

"Many people are considering adding or already have added supplements like Omega-3 or probiotics to their diet,” said Tiffany McLaud, U.S. franchise lead, dietary supplements, Pfizer Consumer Healthcare. "But we have heard from consumers that choosing the right multivitamin and supplement can be confusing. We have been in the multivitamin business for 30 years; people trust Centrum because it’s always been backed by science. Now with ProNutrients, Americans can feel confident about their supplement choices, and when taken with a multivitamin, either new Centrum Specialist multivitamins or Centrum multivitamin, will get key nutrients for health and wellness.”
