Diabetes specialist Dr V Mohan criticized Centrum's ad claiming multivitamin deficiency in 80% Indians.

Diabetes specialist and Padma Shri awardee Dr V Mohan criticised an ad by multivitamin brand Centrum, stating "there is nothing called multivitamin deficiency." The ad claims that "8 in 10 Indians may be multivitamin deficient" and promotes multivitamin supplements for every family member. Dr Mohan believes the advertisement is misleading and can lead to harm, suggesting that multivitamins should only be taken if specific vitamins are deficient.
