How often should I take a vitamin tablet?
You should take one multivitamin each day, preferably before bed.

Are these safe for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals?
Centrum Advance is not advisable during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. It is better to select a multivitamin specifically designed for pregnancy, like Pregnacare.
I’m a vegetarian/vegan. Can I take these vitamins?
Centrum multivitamins are not suitable for vegetarians or vegans as they contain animal-derived ingredients.
Are these appropriate for a kosher/halal diet?
These vitamins are not suitable for kosher or halal diets because they contain gelatin derived from cows or pigs.
Are these multivitamins gluten-free?
Yes, these vitamins are free from gluten, wheat, and yeast.
Why take vitamins with Orlistat?
Orlistat can affect the absorption of fats from food, including certain fat-soluble vitamins stored in the body. This can make it more challenging for your body to absorb important vitamins such as A, D, E, and K. Therefore, it is essential to take supplements containing these vitamins while using this treatment.
