The best multivitamin for women you can buy in the UK (top 5)
Despite our best efforts, many of us fail to get sufficient amounts of vitamins into our diet through our diets. This is where supplements like multivitamins can be really useful - these supplements can help us get all of the vitamins we need in just one tablet.
Women's bodies work differently from men's, so it makes sense that there should be multivitamins which are especially designed for women to consume. There are lots of supplements out there like this, so we thought it would be useful to round up the best women's multivitamins that you can buy. Let's get into it:
Vitl Female
This Vitl multivitamin is tailored for women and contains an excellent mix of vitamins and other goodness. It’s got everything from biotin to help with skin and nails to iron and zinc. It also contains a full Vitamin-B complex including vitamin B6 which helps to regulate hormonal activity. We were also interested to see that the multivitamin also contains ashwagandha, which can reportedly help to alleviate anxiety, a feeling that can often hit women during menstruation. Impressively (and unlike many other women's multivitamins we looked at for this guide), this multivitamin is completely filler-free, which means it contains no bulking agents, and no artificial colours or preservatives. You can subscribe to get this multivitamin every month or you can buy a one-off tub, learn more and buy it here - sainsburys.co.uk
Together Health
This women’s multivitamin from Together Health is described as a wholefood multivitamin because it’s made using food compounds. The justification for this from Together Health is that our bodies absorb vitamins and minerals better when they’re within a complete complex. The contents of the multivitamins are prepared in low heat conditions to retain the naturally occurring co-nutrients found within the multivitamin. This includes live enzymes, phytonutrients, amino acids, and trace minerals. Together Health also claims that this multivitamin has higher percentages of iron and biotin compared to most other multivitamins on the market, 2 nutrients which are really important for women. This multivitamin is also 100% vegan so it’s a great choice for people following a plant-based diet. Learn more and buy it here - amazon.co.uk
Bioglan Women's Multivitamin VitaGummies
If you prefer to take your multivitamins in the form of gummies then the Bioglan VitaGummies are a great option. These gummies contain all of the vitamins that a woman needs to keep her entire system in good condition - this includes 1.4 mg of Vitamin B6 and 2.5 µg of Vitamin B12 to support the nervous system and to help keep hormones in balance, and 5 µg of Vitamin D to help bones and teeth. If you don't like the idea of swallowing a multivitamin then these gummies are perfect as they're really tasty. Flavours include orange, lemon, and blueberry.

Solgar Female Multiple
The Femla Multiple from Solgar contains 27 different nutrients which are designed to support women's health - this includes everything from minerals like magnesium and calcium to vitamins such as Vitamin K. The team at Solgar also notes that during menstruation, women should also be consuming more blood supportive nutrients to support their system, and that's exactly what Solgar has included in the multivitamin - Vitamin B12, iron and folic acid all support healthy blood production and flow. For those of you who are sensitive to iron, the iron in this multivitamin comes in bisglycinate form which not only helps it to be absorbed but also reduces irritation. Even the amber bottle that the multivitamin tablets come in is clever because it helps to protect against heat damage. This multivitamin contains no fillers or artificial ingredients and is totally vegan-friendly. We're very impressed with this multivitamin, learn more and buy it here - amazon.co.uk
Alive Women’s Energy
Many women will be taking a multivitamin to try and regain some energy, and that’s exactly what the Women’s Energy multivitamin from Alive promises to help with - each tablet is packed with vitamins like Vitamin B6, B12 & Vitamin C. You'll also find 100mg of fruit & vegetable powder in every tablet, which is made from 26 different fruits and vegetables, so you're getting goodness from a natural source. Korean Ginseng is also in every tablet. It's also free from artificial flavourings or colours and totally suitable for vegetarians. Learn more and buy it here - hollandandbarrett.com
