Centrum, the World’s number 1 Multivitamin, launched their health initiative titled ‘Your Nutrition Matters’. Held in wake up of the upcoming World Nutrition Day, the initiative underscored the importance of multivitamins in addressing micronutrient deficiencies and promoting healthier lifestyle in India. Their aim is to educate Indians about their Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) and the importance of incorporating multivitamins into daily diets.
Centrum unveiled a first-of-its-kind consensus titled ‘Inclusion of Micronutrient supplementation in India’ on the correlation between micronutrients and health status. The consensus was recently published in the Journal of the Association of Physicians of India (JAPI), with 14 participating healthcare professionals across specializations. It sheds light on the relationship of multivitamins on individuals with comorbidities like Hypertension, Diabetes & other health conditions.
