Dr Vegan Supplements (in metal tins with refills)
Just like Mr Kipling, Dr Vegan does not really exist. But is a team of nutritional experts, who make supplements sold in metal tins, then you just buy refill pouches thereafter.
Check with GP before taking supplements if pregnant/nursing or on medication. Keep away from young children and pets. Recycle unwanted supplements/medicines at pharmacies (never flush down loo).
The supplements industry creates 1.8 billion plastic bottles each year, half containing animal-derived ingredients, causing the deaths of 24 billion creatures (many of them fish).
The range includes:
Dr Vegan’s Women Promulti (for women over 40) includes antioxidants and B/D3 vitamins, iron, folate, magnesium and zinc, plus iodine for thyroid support. Expect more energy and better bone density, better immunity and sleep, and less PMS-related discomfort (results in a few weeks).
Dr Vegan Men’s Promulti includes vitamins and minerals, plus ingredients to support prostate health and testosterone levels. Expect better immunity, vision, skin and energy. Again expect results in weeks. Due to ashwagandha, avoid for thyroid or autoimmune disorders, or if about to have surgery.
Other supplements include:
- A pregnancy supplement
- GutWorks is good for digestive issues like IBS.
- Omega-3 supplements contain the optimal dose of DHA and EPA per serving for brain, heart, skin and eye health. Ethically sourced from algae (one ton is the same as 60 tonnes of wild-caught fish).
- Vegan Nights is an advanced nootropic to help your mind and body relax for better sleep, and awake refreshed.
- Hair Saviour is an award-winning formula to fuel healthy hair growth. Not for male pattern baldness or alopecia. Do not use for pregnancy/nursing, women or have had or at risk of hormone-related cancers or conditions that may affect iron loss.

Dr Vegan’s Kids Multi-vitamin
Dr Vegan’s Kids Protmulti (for ages 3 to 16) is another supplement of quality, containing 25 active nutrients, designed to protect against common nutrient gaps, it contains:
- Vitamins (for general health and immunity)
- B Vitamins (for mental health and concentration)
- Minerals (for bones, muscles and teeth)
- Iron (for energy)
- Antioxidants (for healthy hair, skin and nails)
- Live bacteria (for sensitive tummies)
The capsules are 1 to 3 a day, depending on age (from 3 years up). Best taken with food, the capsules can also be opened and sprinkled onto food or drink (not with heat, this can damage the probiotics).
For the same reason, store away from heat and moisture (including radiators, kettles and steamy bathrooms). Ideally store in a frost-free fridge.
