Sentry senior multi vitamin

[CallumWK]

Due to another thread, iherb got my attention, and I started looking for Centrum silver 50+.

 

Then suddenly I stumbled on Sentry senior, and at first look, the ingredients and amounts of each are similar to Centrum. But they cost a third of the price. Is this too good a deal to be true?

 

Anyone has experience with Sentry, or both and can provide feedback?

I get 20% off because first order, but 25% is better of course.

You have a link to the promotion, or does it get automatically deducted?

 

Never mind, found it

I am looking at a multivitamin and mineral tablet for someone who is "senior" and as far as I can see at the moment, Swisse is the one I am leaning towards because of its extensive range of ingredients.

Seems like a better deal than Centrum:
 

Sentry Senior, marketed by 21st Century HealthCare, Inc., is a multivitamin and multimineral supplement designed specifically for adults aged 50 and older. It aims to support the unique health needs of this age group by providing essential vitamins and minerals that may be lacking in their diets.

 

### Key Features of Sentry Senior
- **Comprehensive Formula**: Contains a range of vitamins including A, C, D3, E, and several B vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12, niacin, folate), as well as important minerals like calcium, magnesium, zinc, and selenium.
- **Antioxidants**: Includes antioxidants such as lutein and lycopene, which are beneficial for overall health.
- **Gluten-Free and Non-GMO**: The product is marketed as being free from gluten and genetically modified organisms.

 

### Comparison to Centrum
Sentry Senior is often compared to Centrum Silver, a well-known multivitamin brand. While both products serve similar purposes and target the same demographic (adults over 50), they are not direct knockoffs. Instead, they are distinct products with potentially different formulations and ingredient profiles. Sentry Senior is positioned as a cost-effective alternative to Centrum Silver.

 

### Pricing and Availability
Sentry Senior is generally priced lower than many other senior multivitamins, making it an attractive option for consumers looking for value without compromising on quality. It is widely available in pharmacies and online retailers.

 

### Conclusion
While Sentry Senior may share some similarities with Centrum Silver in terms of target audience and purpose, it is not simply a knockoff but rather a separate product with its own formulation. As always, individuals should consult healthcare providers before starting any new supplement regimen to ensure it aligns with their health needs.

I would be careful with multivitamin/mineral tablets, since several of the ingredients may be harmful if you get too much, unless you specifically are deficient. Examples from the list you provided are: A, E, B6, calcium, potentially also selenium.

 

Edit: I would also mention iron, don't take unless deficient. Better to eat some red meat 🙂.

Thanks for the information so far, but my question still remains unanswered.

The question was, is Sentry as good as Centrum.

@TimBKK posted an AI result that said, Sentry is comparable, and is usually cheaper than other brands, but we are talking here about less than a third of the Centrum price, and I worry a bit that this is too good to be true.

Maybe others here have already used this product, and can give some feedback.
