Vitamins & minerals
Vitamins and minerals are one of the few groups with many authorised health claims in the EU. We show them on a product page only when the daily dose provides at least 15 % of the reference intake — as the regulation requires.
The section holds single vitamins, minerals, multivitamins and omega-3. Compare the dose per daily serving and the % of the reference intake: a high dose is not always needed, and some substances have an upper limit. More on each is on the ingredient pages.
FAQ
What does % of the reference intake mean?
The share of the EU labelling reference intake that the product's daily dose provides.
Can I take several vitamins at once?
Yes, but count the same substance across products so as not to exceed the upper limit.
When should vitamins be taken?
Fat-soluble ones (A, D, E, K) usually with a meal containing fat; the rest as the pack directs.
Why are there different forms of one vitamin?
Forms differ in price, tablet size and tolerance; the authorised claims are the same for all of them.
Do vitamins replace food?
No. Food supplements add to a varied, balanced diet; they do not replace it.
