VEGAN PRENATAL VITAMINS
UK PREGNANCY SUPPLEMENT GUIDE

The following is a list of vegan-friendly supplements available in the UK. All supplements vary in vitamin and mineral content, ingredients, price and eco-friendliness. Therefore, it is strongly advised to speak with your doctor, midwife, or dietitian, and select a product which is best suited to your personal needs, as well as confirming an appropriate dose.

Unfortunately, the free multi-vitamin available through the NHS ‘Healthy Start Scheme’ is not suitable for vegans. However, if you are eligible for the scheme you can apply to receive a card to contribute towards fruit and vegetables. For more information go to: www.healthystart.nhs.uk
