Vitamins & Minerals

This section covers vitamin and mineral preparations sold as medicines, grouped by the nutrient they supply. It includes calcium and bone health products, multivitamin and multimineral formulations, vitamin B and folic acid, vitamin D, iron and anaemia care, vitamin C and E, eye and antioxidant vitamins, and sugar substitutes.

Before you buy

Strength varies considerably between brands of the same nutrient, so check the composition and pack size on the product page rather than comparing by name. Some products in this section require a prescription, and the product page states where that applies. A pharmacist or registered doctor can confirm which preparation and strength suits you, particularly during pregnancy, for children, or alongside existing medication.
