Can a teenager take vitamins that are meant for people who are 50 and up?

I`m out of my usual vitamins and its important that I take them because I need the iron. We do have vitamins for people who are 50 and up. Is it ok if I take those, just for a few days, until I can get more of my usual vitamins? I`m 18.

    JC, the main reason they make "Senior Centrum" is to leave the iron OUT!! Older people do not need iron! If you can't get to the drug store, eat a lot of MEAT. It has all the iron! You can also do a Web search of "foods with iron."

    Good luck! :)

    I don't think it would hurt anything but the vitamins that are for older people have different amounts of vitamins in them. For instance, they might have more vitamin E for eyesight, unlike younger people. If I were you, then I would just buy some all natural vitamins just for iron. And, just wait until you can get your others.
