Our Multivitamin for Vegans contains a fine blend of vitamins and minerals, which are more likely to be deficient in a plant-based diet. However, they are not specifically designed to be taken during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and therefore if this applies to you we recommend you supplement according to the NHS guidance, of which your doctor or pharmacist can advise. Our Iron and DHA gummies are safe for pregnant or breastfeeding people to take, but you should always consult your GP first.

Yes! Many vegan parents have told us that they worry that their child is not getting enough of the vitamins and minerals they need, but really struggle to get them to take vitamin tablets. Vegums turn a daily chore into a treat, and not just for children; I mean who wouldn’t rather chew a delicious gummy bear than swallow a pill?

Vegums have been specially designed to allow a simple dosage of ONE gummy bear for children (3-12 years old) and TWO for adults (and children over 12) – perfect for all the family!

Each gummy bear contains a pinch of sugar: 0.7g (a sixth of a teaspoon), which is also the same quantity as the sugar in a chewable vitamin.

Both our Omega-3 and Iron gummies contain natural beet sugar, whilst our Multivitamin contains unrefined cane sugar.

A plant-based diet is usually packed full of essential vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamin A, B & C. However, some vitamins are difficult to get from plants, and are largely present in meat and dairy products, such as vitamin D, B12, iodine and more. For this reason, a standard multivitamin would give you too much of what you already have and too little of what you really need.

Thankfully our Vegums pharmacists have tailored a blend of vitamins that perfectly compliments a plant-based diet; easing-off on those that you get plenty of, while loading-up on the ones that tend to be absent.
And if that’s not enough, they taste delicious!

We are currently working on an A-Z gummy which would contain a winder variety of those essential vitamins and minerals. Please sign up to the newsletter for more information on when this will launch!

EPA is much more difficult to find in a vegan form, so our creators decided to stick to DHA rich algae oil to keep it in line with our ethics.

We are aware of the benefits of EPA, so will continue to try to find the best vegan source of this.

Absolutely not! We use pectin (from citrus fruits) as our gelling agent. Along with all our other ingredients, it’s totally vegan.

Although we have never known anyone to become ill from taking too many Vegums, we always advise that you stick to the recommended dose and seek the advice of a doctor or pharmacist if you know someone who has taken too many of any product.

The Multivitamin for Vegans contains mainly water-soluble vitamins, which are easily removed from the body in urine if too much is consumed so these shouldn’t cause a problem. The only exception to this is vitamin D, which is fat-soluble and if taken at a very dose for a prolonged period of time can become harmful to the body. Taking 60,000 IU of Vitamin D a day for several months has been shown to cause toxicity. This is the equivalent of taking 150 Vegums every day for several months. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/vitamin-d-toxicity/faq-20058108

Our Iron gummies contain 7mg each, so it’s important that you stick to the recommended dose as iron is stored in the body. According to The Department of Health and Social Care, you should not regularly be supplementing more than 17mg of iron per day. The tolerable upper limit for a one-off intake is slightly higher at 20mg, but the NHS states that this is when you might see side-effects such as constipation, nausea and stomach pain. Extremely high doses can be fatal, so keep out of reach of children. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vitamins-and-minerals/iron/ 

It is hard to define a tolerable single upper limit for Omega-3, but prolonged high intake of fatty acids (DHA, EPA or ALA) can increase risk of cardiovascular disease. The European Food Safety Authority states that supplemental intakes of DHA alone up to about 1 g/day, or 5g/day of DHA and EPA combined, do not raise safety concerns for the general population. It is therefore advised not to regularly exceed this. The dietary recommendations for EPA and DHA based on cardiovascular risk considerations for European adults are between 250 and 500 mg/day is sufficient. https://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/efsajournal/pub/2815
