What Multivitamin do you use?

The nutritionist at my surgeon's office recommended Centrum Chewables for Adults.  It is Orange Burst.  Reasonably priced too.  I know it is important to have a multivitamin with iron.  CVS in my area does not carry it, but Rite Aid does.

I was told a multivitamin with iron is important for women of menstruating age but not necessarily non-menstruating women. Does anyone agree, disagree, or have other input on this?

That is wrong.  It depends on your labs. I am not menstruating, but my iron and ferritin dropped so low that I needed iron infusions.  Then a year later, another series, then another...  

Many times they only check basic blood panel, and don't test ferritin.  You ferritin may be getting low even if the other blood markers are OK...
