can 17-year olds take Centrum vitamins (doctors please)?
Question:
Answers:
the vitamins are good, it is ok for the 17 yr. old. Actually they are a necessity, because not always do people eat everything that their body needs. Also he and you needs to make sure you get certain amino acids that are essential, meaning your body does not make them, yet you need them, you need amino acids phenylalanine, valine, threonine, tyrosine, isoleusine, lysine, methionine, histidine, and leucine. These are very important to also take with vitamins. Make sure that he and you also eat fish, but if you or him do not like fish, try taking omega-12 fatty acids, I think they have that in liquid form at the grocery store. I hope my info is helpful. I currently have 2 years left in med school.

They will kill you. You can take them after you turn 18.
Centrum will not harm you unless you have some underlying health problems. Centrum is actually not as strong in certain aspects as some other vitamins. Consult your family doctor and ask him what he recommends. I personally take a 400 IU Vitamin E and 1000 mg Vitamin C every morning along with calcium.
Yes, you can take them. I would recommend that you start out with only half a pill for the first week and the following week take a whole pill. Make sure you eat something when taking it or drink milk. Taking mult-vitamins on an empty stomach will make you sick.
oh geez anyone can take a multivitamin, ur moms crazy
get your vitamins from good home cooked meals and make a deal with mom to take a centrum twice a week, now go kiss your mom a make up!
Try vitamins for kids. They come chewable or like gummy bears if you can't swallow.
they do have vitamins that are for teens look for them at GNC or some place like that--- check with your doctor!! --
It's true you need vitamins but unless your doctor has determined there is a deficiency -- you shouldn't assume you're in need of them!
