Centrum with Lutein dietary supplement

Centrum is one of the world's most recognized multivitamin brands, originally developed by Lederle Laboratories in the United States during the 1970s. The brand was created following research by Dr. Ellen Conklin, who aimed to provide a comprehensive daily vitamin that covered a wide spectrum of nutritional needs. Over the decades, the brand has expanded its portfolio to include specialized formulas such as this version with Lutein, which is specifically marketed for eye health and general well-being.

Throughout its history, ownership of Centrum has transitioned through several major pharmaceutical mergers, moving from Wyeth to Pfizer, and eventually into a joint venture with GSK (GlaxoSmithKline). As of the early 2020s, the brand became part of Haleon, a major independent consumer healthcare company spun off from the GSK-Pfizer consumer healthcare merger.

Centrum products are manufactured globally in various facilities located in the United States, Canada, Italy, and China to serve different regional markets. The specific packaging shown, featuring Arabic text and the GSK logo, reflects the transition period of the brand's corporate identity within the Middle Eastern market, where it remains a leading supplement choice.
