The 6 Best Vegan Multivitamins in 2023, Reviewed & Ranked

If you took a multivitamin before becoming vegan, chances are that it’s not vegan friendly.

Vegans don’t necessarily need to take a multivitamin, but it can be a nice backup if your diet isn’t always so great.

I’ve tested dozens of vegan multivitamins since changing my diet, and I’ll share with you the best ones I’ve found here.

This post will go over 2 main things:

1. The most important vitamins and minerals for vegans (data-backed)
2. The best vegan multivitamins

My Top Picks

If you don’t have time to read all that, here’s a quick summary of the best vegan multivitamins I’ve reviewed:

What Should You Look For in A Vegan Multivitamin?

If you eat vegetables regularly, you don’t need to be worried about being deficient in most vitamins.

However, as vegans, we’re more susceptible to certain types of deficiencies than omnivores.

Research has found that vegans are more likely to be lacking or deficient in:

• Vitamin B12
• Vitamin D
• Iron
• Omega 3 Fats

These are the crucial nutrients that I’ve focused on when trying to find the best vegan multivitamins.

Vitamin B12 is the only one that’s necessary to supplement if you only eat whole foods. Here’s a list of the best vegan vitamin B12 supplements if that’s the only nutrient you’re really concerned about.

All supplements on this page include B12 as methylcobalamin, the easiest form of vegan B12 to absorb.

The 6 Best Vegan Multivitamin Supplements

I spent a few hours researching different options, and the ones I have here are the best overall.

When I say “best”, I’m judging supplements based on:

• Vitamin B12 content
• Vitamin D content
• Omega 3 fats content
• Iron content
• Are they a reputable company for vegan products?
• How much do they cost?

I’ve put together a summary table here, but if you want more detailed looks at each product, continue down further.

	Type	Vit. B12 (% DV)	Vit. D (% DV)	Iron (% DV)	Price per serving
Future Kind	Vegan Softgel	16667	250	0	$$
Deva	Pill	1666	100	100	$
Garden of Life (Pill)	Pill	200	250	10	$$$
Veg1 Multivitamin	Chewable tablet	1000	400	0	$
Garden of Life (Gummies)	Gummies	300	100	0	$
Naturelo	Pill	110	110	0	$$

1. Future Kind Essential Multivitamin for Vegans

Bottom Line

Instead of having a bunch of vitamins that most vegans get more than enough of already, Future Kind’s multivitamin focuses on the main nutrients that vegans often lack:

• Vitamin B12
• Vitamin D3
• Omega 3 fats (from algae)

The vitamins are in a vegan softgel, which isn’t too large, so it’s pretty easy to swallow.

In terms of covering most health concerns for vegans, this is the best one I’ve come across.

2. Deva Vegan Vitamins Daily Multivitamin & Mineral Supplement

Bottom Line

Deva is perhaps the most well-known vegan supplement brand.

This product is certified vegan by the Vegan Society and is the best vegan multivitamin for women in my opinion.

This multivitamin and mineral supplement not only meets the RDA of several vitamins, but also important minerals like iron.

There is 18 mg of iron in a pill, which meets the RDA for women (men only need ~8 mg). If you’re male, it’s typically not a problem to get a bit extra, your body will absorb less, but it can cause some stomach issues.

Overall, it’s a solid multivitamin that’s well suited for vegans. If you’d like to read a bit more about it, here’s my full Deva vegan multivitamin review.

3. Garden of Life mykind Pill Multivitamin

Bottom Line

There’s both a men’s and women’s version of this multivitamin.

Both have the same core nutrients and are almost identical, but the different versions have a bit extra of important nutrients for each gender.

Note that Garden of Life also make non-vegan products. They have a “raw” multivitamin that is vegetarian, but there’s no vegan sticker or description anywhere. I wouldn’t feel comfortable taking or recommending it.

If budget is a big concern, choose a different one.

4. Veg1 Tablets (Chewable Multivitamin)

Veg1 is sold by The Vegan Society, which obviously gives you really high confidence that the product is entirely vegan.

It doesn’t have a huge array of vitamins that you almost certainly get enough from food already. It just focuses on the ones you might need more of.

It’s a solid option, especially if you’re just looking for a little bit extra to complement your vegan diet.

5. Garden of Life mykind Gummy Multivitamin

Bottom Line

This is a different multivitamin product from Garden of Life from the one above on the list.

Its ingredients and nutritional value are different from the pill version, so treat them as completely separate products.

There’s a men’s, women’s and kid’s version of this gummy multivitamin. It’s one of the very few vegan multivitamins for kids.

Note that while some levels of vitamins are lower than in comparable products, most vitamins over 100% of the daily requirements don’t get fully absorbed, so it doesn’t matter in most cases.

6. NATURELO One Daily Multivitamin

Naturelo makes a version of their multivitamin for both men and women.

Make sure you buy the “daily” multivitamin, because they have another multivitamin that you need to take 4 tablets of per day, which is a pain.

This is a good multivitamin if you just want a bit of extra nutrients, but don’t have any big holes in your diet.

The levels of each vitamin are good, but not extremely high (which you might want if you were worried about a big deficiency).

The ingredients are all whole foods, and the vitamin D is D3 from lichen, which is ideal.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vegan Multivitamins

If you have any question that you’d like answered here, just ask below in a comment.

Do Athletes Need Multivitamins?

For the most part, vegan athletes need the same vitamins and minerals that everyone else does, just more of them.

Why more?

Because exercise does damage to your body, so antioxidants (vitamin B, C, D, and E) in particular are extra important for recovery and to prevent free radical damage.

Again, you can get all this from food, but you may also want to look for it in a multivitamin.

Do All Vegans Need a Multivitamin?

No, all vegans do not need a multivitamin. If you’re not deficient in a vitamin, then taking a supplement will not benefit you. So if you already eat a well rounded diet of whole foods, you may not need a multivitamin (although you’ll still need a vegan vitamin B12 supplement).

However, if you don’t get much sun where you live, a multivitamin with both vitamin B12 and vitamin D can be convenient.

Are All Multivitamins Vegan-Friendly?

No, all multivitamins are not vegan friendly. I made this list of vegan multivitamins that I’ve come across because many regular multivitamins contain vitamins that are extracted from animal sources (commonly vitamin D and iron).
