Vegan vitamins are supplements formulated without any animal-derived ingredients — no gelatine capsules, no lanolin-sourced vitamin D, no animal-based coatings. Every product in this range is built around plant-based and synthetic sources, so what's inside the bottle aligns with what's on your plate. From vitamin C capsules to magnesium gummies, iron and folic acid tablets to vegan omega 3 — the range covers the nutrients that matter most, in formats that work for everyday life.
With over 20 plant-based vitamin and mineral products to choose from, this isn't a token vegan shelf. It's a full lineup — single-nutrient tablets, combination formulas, gummies, capsules, and liquid formats — developed by Myprotein's expert nutritionists specifically for people eating a plant-based diet or anyone who simply wants supplements that contain no animal products.
Who Vegan Vitamins Are For
These plant-based vitamins are an obvious fit for anyone following a vegan or plant-based diet. Certain nutrients — including vitamin B12, vitamin D, iron, zinc, and omega 3 — are harder to get in adequate amounts from plant foods alone, making supplementation a practical and popular choice for people eating this way. Whether you're newly vegan or years in, having reliable, certified plant-based supplements in your routine makes sense.
That said, vegan vitamin capsules and tablets aren't exclusively for vegans. Anyone who prefers gelatine-free supplements — whether for dietary, religious, or personal reasons — will find this range just as relevant. Athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and people focused on general wellness all sit comfortably within this range's audience. If you want high-quality vitamins and minerals with no animal-derived ingredients, this is where to look.
When to Use Vegan Vitamins
Timing depends on the specific supplement. Most vitamins and minerals are best taken with food — fat-soluble vitamins like D and K in particular absorb more effectively alongside a meal that contains some dietary fat. Water-soluble vitamins like C and the B-vitamins can be taken at any time of day, though taking them with breakfast is a common and practical habit that makes it easier to stay consistent.
Some nutrients have more specific timing considerations. Iron is generally best taken on an empty stomach for optimal absorption, though it can be taken with food if needed. Magnesium is popular taken in the evening. The key with any supplement is consistency — taking them regularly at a time that fits your routine will always outperform sporadic use at the "perfect" time.
Vegan Vitamins Benefits
Vitamin D for Bones, Teeth, and Muscles
Getting enough vitamin D from food alone is difficult — and that challenge is compounded on a plant-based diet where oily fish and egg yolks aren't on the menu. Vegan vitamin D, typically derived from lichen rather than lanolin, provides a fully plant-based route to a nutrient that contributes to the maintenance of normal bones1, normal teeth2, and normal muscle function3. It also contributes to the normal function of the immune system4.
Vitamin B12 for Energy Metabolism and Nervous System Function
Vitamin B12 is found almost exclusively in animal products, making it one of the most important supplements for anyone on a plant-based diet. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism5, normal functioning of the nervous system6, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue7. It's one of the non-negotiables in a vegan supplement stack.
Iron and Folic Acid for Red Blood Cell Formation
Iron from plant sources (non-haem iron) is absorbed differently than iron from meat, which makes it especially worth paying attention to on a plant-based diet. Iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin8 and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue9. Paired with folic acid — which contributes to normal blood formation10 — Iron & Folic Acid Tablets cover two of the key nutrients for red blood cell health in a single, plant-based formula.
Vitamin C for Immune Function and Collagen Formation
Vitamin C is well covered in most plant-based diets through fruits and vegetables, but a dedicated supplement ensures consistent daily intake. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system11, to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin12, and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress13. There's also a practical bonus: vitamin C increases iron absorption14, making it a smart pairing with iron supplementation.

FAQs
What are vegan vitamins?
Vegan vitamins are nutritional supplements made entirely without animal-derived ingredients. That means no gelatine in the capsule shell, no lanolin-sourced vitamin D, and no animal-based excipients or coatings anywhere in the formula. Plant-based and synthetic sources are used instead, so the supplements are suitable for anyone following a vegan lifestyle or anyone who simply prefers animal-free products.
Are plant-based vitamins as effective as regular vitamins?
Plant-based vitamins contain the same active nutrients as their conventional counterparts — the vitamin D3 derived from lichen, for example, is chemically identical to that derived from lanolin. Effectiveness comes down to the quality of the ingredient, the dose, and how consistently you take it, not whether the source is plant-based or animal-derived. The vegan supplements in this range are formulated to the same nutritional standards as any other Myprotein product.
Which vegan vitamins are most important on a plant-based diet?
Vitamin B12 is the most widely recommended supplement for people eating a plant-based diet, as it's found almost exclusively in animal products. Vitamin D, iron, zinc, omega 3 (as algae-derived DHA and EPA), and calcium are also commonly highlighted as nutrients that can be harder to get in sufficient amounts from plant foods alone. The range includes dedicated products for each of these, including Vegan Omega 3, Iron & Folic Acid Tablets, and Zinc Tablets.
What formats are available in the vegan vitamins range?
The range covers multiple formats to suit different preferences. Tablets and capsules make up the majority of options — including Vitamin C Capsules, Zinc Tablets, Essential Magnesium Tablets, and Ashwagandha KSM-66 Capsules. Gummies are also available, including Mushroom Gummies and Magnesium Gummies, for those who prefer a chewable format. Liquid capsules feature in the Vegan Omega 3 range. With over 20 products across the category, there's a format for most routines.
What are vegan vitamin gummies?
Vegan vitamin gummies are chewable supplement gummies made without gelatine — a common ingredient in conventional gummies that's derived from animal collagen. Instead, plant-based alternatives such as pectin are used to give them their texture. Mushroom Gummies are a popular pick in this range, combining fruity, plant-based gummies with mushroom extracts and essential vitamins and minerals — available with Lion's Mane, Reishi, or Cordyceps mushroom.
Can I take multiple vegan vitamins together?
Most vegan vitamins and minerals can be taken alongside one another without issue. Some combinations are actively complementary — vitamin C alongside iron, for instance, since vitamin C increases iron absorption14. A Daily Multivitamin Tablet is a convenient way to cover multiple nutrients in a single serving. Where specific timing or pairing considerations apply to individual products, the product label will provide guidance.
Who developed the vegan vitamins range?
The vegan vitamins range has been developed by Myprotein's expert nutritionists. Every formula is built around evidence-based ingredient selection and dosing, using plant-based or synthetic sources throughout to ensure the full range is suitable for vegan lifestyles. The same nutritional rigour applied across all Myprotein products goes into this range.
Are these suitable as vegan supplements in Ireland?
Yes — the full vegan vitamins range is available to customers in Ireland. All products are formulated without animal-derived ingredients, making them suitable for vegans and those seeking plant-based supplements regardless of where in the UK or Ireland they're ordering from. Delivery is available across Ireland, with the same product lineup accessible online.
How do I choose the right vegan vitamin for me?
Start by identifying which nutrients you're most likely to be under-consuming based on your diet. On a plant-based diet, vitamin B12, vitamin D, iron, and omega 3 are the usual starting points. Single-nutrient products like Zinc Tablets or Vitamin C Capsules work well for targeting specific gaps. If you'd rather cover multiple bases at once, Daily Multivitamin Tablets offer a broad-spectrum option in one daily serving.
Do vegan vitamins contain allergens?
Allergen information varies by product and is listed clearly on each individual product page and packaging label. While the range is free from animal-derived ingredients, some products may be manufactured in facilities that also handle allergens such as gluten, soy, or nuts. Always check the full allergen and ingredient information on the specific product you're considering before purchasing.
