1 or 2 Centrums daily
I recommend Centrum for people on the Ketogenic Mediterranean Diet. Since the composition of plain Centrum could change at any time (or be concocted differently in non-U.S. countries), I’m recording the contents of the current U.S. product. Here are the component amounts with “% Daily Values” in parentheses.
U.S. government authorities recommend Percent Daily Values for average non-pregnant healthy adults eating 2,000 calorie a day.

Why Centrum?
It’s been around for years and has a good reputation. It’s widely available at a reasonable price. This is not a paid endorsement, in case you’re wondering. Let me know if you think my faith is misplaced.
