Default Centrum has Starch?

I'm new to the world of LC and to this forum. My fiance and I are both starting on Atkins. I went and bought a large bottle of the standard Centrum to use as the primary supplement, and after I got the bottle home I read that it contains starch and some other disallowed ingredients (one of the sugars, I believe). I've heard that Centrum is a recommended multi-vitamin. Is it because folks mistakenly thought it did not contain the disallowed ingredients, or is it because the quantities are negligible and aren't of concern. If a supplement contains starch (e.g. a Vitamin C rose-hip supplement), is the amount assumed to be too little to worry about, perhaps half a gram of carb?

I don't want to find myself diminishing the keto affect owing to a handful of supplements raising the carb count; but I also don't want to stress over little things, hoping instead to save my stress for those bigger temptations.

Thanks for your help... and this is a great forum.
