Centrum

Is Centrum an ethical vitamin and supplement brand? 

Centrum is an American brand of multivitamins owned by Haleon, a spin-off company from GSK’s consumer healthcare division.

Unfortunately, Centrum has a below benchmark score on the Vitamins & Supplements Ethical Ratings Table and as a result, cannot be classed as an ethical brand.

Although it does not yet reach our minimum benchmark, we still suggest that Centrum get in touch and apply for Ethical Accreditation. By applying, The Good Shopping Guide would be able to offer Centrum an assessment and some advice on how to work on its low rating.
