FAQs

Are generic vitamins as good as brands like Centrum, Theragran, or One-A-Day?

Yes. The FDA regulates vitamins and supplements for quality and purity. A generic multivitamin, like GoodSense Centry or Rugby Daily-Vite, must contain the same active ingredients (like Vitamin C, D3, B12, etc.) in the same strengths as its brand-name counterpart. You get the same formula and benefits, just without paying for the brand's expensive advertising.

Why are generic vitamins from brands like Rugby and GoodSense so much cheaper?

You are paying for the product, not the marketing. Major brands spend millions of dollars on television commercials, celebrity endorsements, and print advertising. Generic brands skip that cost and focus on providing the same quality formula at a lower price, passing those savings directly to you.

How do I compare a generic multivitamin to a brand name?

Always check the "Supplement Facts" panel on the back of the bottle. This is the most important step. Compare the list of ingredients and, more importantly, the amount per serving (in mg, mcg, or IU) of each one. You will find that the formulas in our generic alternatives are designed to be directly comparable to the national brands.

Since Theragran-M is discontinued, what is the best generic alternative?

The best alternatives are generics that were specifically formulated to match Theragran's high-potency formula. Products like Rugby Therems and the Major/Rugby Certavite line are excellent, comparable options. We break this down in detail in our Theragran Generic Alternatives guide.

What is the real difference between a "Senior" and a "Daily" multivitamin?

The formulas are adjusted based on the changing nutritional needs of different age groups. "Senior" formulas (like those comparable to Centrum® Silver) are typically formulated for adults 50+. They often contain higher levels of Vitamin D, B6, and B12, but less (or no) iron, as iron needs tend to decrease with age. "Daily" formulas are balanced for general adult use under 50.
