The short version
- One tablet is one serving, with 26 lines on the panel. Iron is 18 mg (100% DV) and vitamin D3 is 1,000 IU (125%). Vitamin C (67%), vitamin K (21%), calcium (15%) and magnesium (12%) are partial.
- $12.12 for 200 tablets on Sep 30, 2026 is about 6 cents a tablet ($12.12 ÷ 200).
- The tablet trade-off: no sugar, but added color (Yellow 6 Lake, titanium dioxide) and FDA's iron warning for households with young children.

The label's suggested use: "Adults: Take one (1) tablet daily with food. Do not exceed suggested use. Not formulated for use in children." The strip shows that serving, not our recommendation.
What the label shows
We read the Supplement Facts panel from the Amazon listing for ASIN B09BVYY7XR (200 tablets) on September 30, 2026. It appears as a flat panel image and again on a photo of the bottle's side, and the amounts match. Serving size is 1 tablet. The panel prints the nutrients without their chemical forms, so the "form" notes below come from the ingredient list.
| Nutrient | Per serving | % Daily Value | What to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin A (29% as beta-carotene) | 1,050 mcg | 117% | The rest is vitamin A acetate (preformed) |
| Vitamin C | 60 mg | 67% | Ascorbic acid, plus sodium ascorbate as a preservative |
| Vitamin D3 | 25 mcg (1,000 IU) | 125% | Cholecalciferol |
| Vitamin E | 13.5 mg | 90% | DL-alpha tocopheryl acetate (synthetic form) |
| Vitamin K | 25 mcg | 21% | Phytonadione (K1) |
| Thiamin | 1.5 mg | 125% | |
| Riboflavin | 1.7 mg | 131% | |
| Niacin | 20 mg | 125% | Niacinamide |
| Vitamin B6 | 2 mg | 118% | Pyridoxine hydrochloride |
| Folate (400 mcg folic acid) | 667 mcg DFE | 167% | Folic acid, shown in DFE units (400 mcg printed as 667 mcg DFE) |
| Vitamin B12 | 6 mcg | 250% | Cyanocobalamin |
| Biotin | 30 mcg | 100% | |
| Pantothenic acid | 10 mg | 200% | |
| Calcium | 200 mg | 15% | Calcium carbonate and dibasic calcium phosphate |
| Iron | 18 mg | 100% | Ferrous fumarate; the reason for the warning box |
| Phosphorus | 20 mg | 2% | |
| Iodine | 150 mcg | 100% | |
| Magnesium | 50 mg | 12% | Magnesium oxide |
| Zinc | 11 mg | 100% | Zinc oxide |
| Selenium | 55 mcg | 100% | |
| Copper | 0.5 mg | 56% | |
| Manganese | 2.3 mg | 100% | |
| Chromium | 35 mcg | 100% | Chromium picolinate |
| Molybdenum | 45 mcg | 100% | |
| Chloride | 72 mg | 3% | From potassium chloride |
| Potassium | 80 mg | 2% |
The ingredient list starts with calcium carbonate, potassium chloride, dibasic calcium phosphate, magnesium oxide, microcrystalline cellulose, ascorbic acid, ferrous fumarate, DL-alpha tocopheryl acetate and maltodextrin. It then lists, at less than 2% each, the remaining vitamin and mineral compounds plus tablet-making and coating ingredients: BHT, sodium ascorbate and tocopherols (all "to preserve freshness"), corn starch, modified corn starch, crospovidone, gelatin, magnesium stearate, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, silicon dioxide, talc, titanium dioxide and Yellow 6 Lake. The listing counts "23 micronutrients". The panel has 26 lines because it also counts phosphorus, chloride and potassium, which appear in small amounts.
The front of the bottle carries a round brand badge. That is Centrum's marketing, not a finding of ours, and we don't repeat it. The side panel says "Verified Non-GMO" and refers readers to Centrum's own non-GMO standard on its website. That is a company standard, not a third-party program seal.
What the format changes
Reading the % Daily Value column. Every line is measured against an FDA Daily Value, a single reference amount per nutrient [2]. That is why 18 mg of iron reads 100%, while 200 mg of calcium reads only 15% of a 1,300 mg DV. Numbers above 100% are allowed and common for inexpensive vitamins. Minerals that take up a lot of room, like calcium and magnesium, rarely reach 100% in a single tablet. Our guide to reading % Daily Value on a multi walks through this panel in more detail.
Tablet vs. the other tablet. Next to the Nature Made Multi with Iron, both list 18 mg iron, 1,000 IU vitamin D3, 11 mg zinc and 400 mcg folic acid. Centrum lists less vitamin C (60 vs. 180 mg), vitamin E (13.5 vs. 22.5 mg), vitamin K (25 vs. 80 mcg), magnesium (50 vs. 100 mg) and copper (0.5 vs. 0.9 mg), and a bit more calcium (200 vs. 160 mg). Nature Made's label says no color added, while Centrum's tablet is colored with Yellow 6 Lake and titanium dioxide.
No sugar, no chewing. The panel declares no sugar, and the tablet is swallowed whole. The 200-count bottle holds more than six months of tablets at the label's serving, so the storage line matters. The bottle side tells you to keep it tightly closed. A bottle this size also stays in the house, near children, for a long time.
Cost. About 6 cents a tablet on the date we looked, the lowest cost per labeled serving of any multi in the organizer that we priced that day.
What the evidence says about the nutrients
MedlinePlus explains that iron is needed to make hemoglobin and myoglobin, the proteins that carry oxygen in blood and muscle [4]. It notes that children can develop iron poisoning by swallowing too many iron pills, and that a severe overdose can happen if a child eats adult multivitamins [5]. For vitamin D, it explains that the vitamin helps the body absorb calcium and gives a safe upper limit of 4,000 IU a day for people 9 and older [6]. MedlinePlus's general advice is to avoid going above 100% of the RDA without a provider's supervision, and to be especially careful with fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K [7]. That advice matters most if you take this tablet alongside other supplements.
The bottle carries FDA's required iron warning [3]: accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. Keep it out of reach, and call a doctor or poison control center at once if a child swallows some. The label also asks people who take medications or supplements, or who have medical conditions, to talk to their healthcare provider.
Price and where it is sold
On September 30, 2026 the Amazon listing showed $12.12 for 200 tablets, shipped and sold by Amazon.com, in stock. That is about 6 cents per one-tablet serving. A lower subscribe-style price ($11.51) was also shown; we used the one-time price. The listing marked the item non-returnable for food-safety reasons, with a refund or replacement if it arrives damaged or defective.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone told to avoid extra iron. The Thorne capsule multi lists none, and a clinician can say which fits.
- People avoiding added colors such as Yellow 6 Lake or titanium dioxide.
- Anyone looking for meaningful calcium or magnesium from a multi alone, since those lines stop at 15% and 12% DV.
- Children. The label says it is not formulated for use in children.
