Going vegan (or mostly plant-based) is one of the few times almost every nutrition professional agrees a multivitamin is worth considering — a handful of nutrients are genuinely harder to get from plants alone. But the vegan multivitamin shelf is crowded and noisy. Here is the checklist we would use ourselves.

1. Check the non-negotiable nutrients

• Vitamin B12 — the classic gap in plant-based diets. B12 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal red blood cell formation.
• Vitamin D3 — the NHS advises everyone in the UK to consider vitamin D from autumn to spring, when sunlight is scarce. Check the D3 is from a vegan source (lichen-derived).
• Vitamin C — contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
• Zinc — contributes to normal cognitive function and the maintenance of normal skin.
• B-complex — B6 and friends contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism.

2. Truly vegan means the gummy itself, too

Plenty of "plant-powered" gummies are set with gelatine — which is animal-derived. Look for a pectin base (from fruit). Every Onvit gummy is pectin-based, always.

3. Watch the sugar

A shocking number of daily gummies carry 2–4g of sugar per serving — a daily sweet habit dressed up as wellness, and unkind to teeth. Zero sugar options exist; ours are sweetened without sugar across the entire range.

4. Read the claims like a sceptic

UK food supplement rules only permit authorised nutrition and health claims. A brand shouting "boosts immunity 300%" or "cures fatigue" is either careless or hoping you don't know the rules. Calm, specific labelling is a green flag.

5. Look behind the brand

• UK-registered business with a real address and reachable support.
• Batch documentation available on request.
• Reviews collected through an independent platform — not pasted onto the site by hand.

6. Pick a format you'll actually take

The best multivitamin is the one still in use in March. Two strawberry-flavoured gummies with breakfast is a routine that survives real life — which is exactly why we built our Multivitamin Gummies with D3, C, a B-complex and zinc, at zero sugar.

FAQ

Do I need a multivitamin if I eat well?

A varied, balanced diet comes first — supplements are a back-up, not a replacement. For vegans, B12 and winter vitamin D are the classic gaps worth covering. We wrote more here: Do you actually need a multivitamin?

When should I take it?

With breakfast is the easiest habit anchor — see our take on building a morning routine that sticks.
