Very few people actually need to take vits. Those who take additional doses when also using one of the macular degeneration combinations should exercise caution. High doses of some vit. can be very dangerous. My guess is that the Centrum label has warnings about this, but maybe not. IMHO, whenever any sort of supplement uses the weasel word "supports", it is useless...period. 50 yrs. professional experience in drug chemistry here with a doctorate.

Thank you for this! I'm going to dig further with you if you're willing? I take Preservision AREDS2 per my Ophthalmologist and Retinologist. I also take a multi-vit due to Crohn's, Gastric Bypass and an inability to eat most veggies AND I add in several other vitamins as I am deficient (e.g., I get Ferritin infusions for Anemia and take Biotin (actually works for me) and Vitamin D as mine is tested deficient for example.) If I may, WHICH vitamins in your knowledge/estimation should I sit down and add up across my pills to ensure I don't accidentally overdose? Thank you for any insight! Alley
A good diet comes first, but there is some good evidence for a multivitamin for seniors.

(Might be behind a paywall) But reports, "The most recent study found that those taking multivitamins showed an estimated 3.1 fewer years of memory loss compared with a control group who took a placebo. Put another way, the multivitamin group was an estimated 3.1 years "younger" in terms of their memory function than the placebo group."
The research, a collaboration between scientists at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Columbia University, appeared in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
Another study, conducted by Brigham and Women's Hospital and scientists at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, appeared in the fall in the journal Alzheimer's & Dementia. It found a 60 percent slowing of cognitive aging among those who took multivitamins compared with the placebo group.

Clearly your situation is unusually complex. The best advice I can give you is to discuss this with your gastroenterologist. All are also board-certified in Internal Medicine. Be sure to bring all of your medications and EVERYTHING else you take with you in the bottles in which they came. Make a list of your questions and bring that with you, too.
Low quality ingredients beware...for example Cyanocobalamin is literally made of cyanide...you gotta dig (i did) and you'll see it on an official gov website...instead of folate, they use folic acid....about 40 percent of women have a hard time digesting (converting) folic acid (synthetic form) into folate...so you dont get the folate you need and causes autoimmune symptoms....in a nutshell, there are too many questionable ingredients (that many agree) do more harm than good...all in the name of saving money for themselves and to be more marketable....just beware...typical selfish big pharma tactics....IYKYK

Thanks for this. All good advice but, with respect, mostly obvious to anyone reasonably educated who sees multiple doctors. In fact, I have a single master page with all vitamins, drugs, conditions, operations, vaccines and dates I provide to all my doctors. Unfortunately in the world we live in, cross-specialism is virtually unavailable. Each of my doctors is focused on the issues for which I see them. They ain't gonna X-ref my meds and all the labels: that's MY job. As almost any patient learns, once it's zebras maybe not horses, it can be up to US to save ourselves, to read the studies and seek out those interested in validating or invalidating such studies and/or supplying answers OUTSIDE the Exam room.
Thank you - seriously - for your post though. One of my jobs this weekend during D&D - in between refilling my weekly drug and vitamin dispensers, will be to review the labels and write down ALL ingredients and amounts to check which fat-solubles I might be building up. (If I just have expensive pee, I'll live with it!)

Interesting. Thank you: I'll look into this.
