Geritol
Geritol is a United States trademarked name for various dietary supplements, past and present.〔("SmithKline Beecham Publishes Geritol Protection Trademark," ) ''LOHAS Weekly Newsletter'', September 01, 1999〕 Geritol is a brand name for several vitamin complexes plus iron or multimineral products in both liquid form and tablets, containing from 9.5 to 18 mg of iron per daily dose.〔("Geritol Complete Information" ), GlaxoSmithKline, official Geritol information site for U.S. residents, 2008. accessed online 9 May 2008.〕 The name conveys a connection with aging, as in "geriatric." The product has been promoted from almost the beginning of the mass media era as a cure for "iron-poor tired blood". In the early 20th century, some medical doctors and other health professionals felt that much of the tiredness often associated with old age was due to iron deficiency anemia.
==History==
Geritol was introduced as an alcohol-based, iron and B vitamin tonic by Pharmaceuticals, Inc., in August 1950 and primarily marketed as such into the 1970s. Geritol was folded into Pharmaceuticals' 1957 acquisition of J. B. Williams Co., founded in 1885.〔(J. B. Williams Company Records ), 1853–1956. Archives & Special Collections, Thomas J. Dodd Center, University of Connecticut.〕 J. B. Williams Co. was later bought out by Nabisco in 1971. The Geritol product name was formerly owned by the multinational pharmaceutical firm GlaxoSmithKline. Geritol was acquired by Meda Pharmaceutical in 2011.
The earlier Geritol liquid formulation was advertised as "twice the iron in a pound of calf's liver," and daily doses contained about 50–100 milligrams of iron as ferric ammonium citrate. The Geritol tonic also contained about 12% alcohol and some B vitamins.
