Because the range is large, the filters are the quickest way in: filter by Form (capsules, tablets, softgels, gummies, liquids, sprays), Diet (vegan, vegetarian) and Brand, or use the category pages linked here. When comparing products, look at the amount of each nutrient per daily serving and the form it is in (for example magnesium citrate or glycinate), not just the headline number on the front. Every product we describe uses only the health claims authorised in Great Britain, worded as they are authorised. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or under medical supervision, speak to a healthcare professional before taking supplements.

FAQs
Which vitamins should I take every day?
It depends on your diet and circumstances. In the UK, government advice is that everyone should consider a daily vitamin D supplement during autumn and winter. A healthcare professional can advise on anything else.
Capsules, tablets or gummies: which is best?
All can provide the same nutrients. Capsules and tablets usually give more per serving; gummies and sprays suit people who dislike swallowing tablets. Compare the amount per serving.
Can I take several supplements together?
Many people do, but add up the amounts of each nutrient across all products and stay within each label's directions. Ask a pharmacist if you take medication.
How do I find vegan vitamins?
Use the Diet filter or our vegan range. Vegan products avoid gelatine capsules and animal-derived ingredients such as lanolin-sourced vitamin D3.
