Vitamin gummies and sugar usually go hand in hand, and that is exactly where this A-Z variant differs. Ten vitamins and minerals in one gummy, entirely sugar-free, sweetened with maltitol instead of glucose, sugar or fruit concentrate. The most comprehensive multi in the Vegums line, from the British brand founded by two vegan pharmacists.
What is in it?
Per gummy:
- Vitamin A (200 µg, 25% RI): for normal vision, normal skin and the normal function of the immune system

- Vitamin C (40 mg, 50% RI): for the normal function of the immune system and the protection of cells from oxidative stress
- Vitamin D3 (10 µg, 200% RI): for the maintenance of normal bones, muscle function and the normal function of the immune system
- Vitamin K1 (40 µg, 50% RI): for normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bones
- Folic acid (200 µg, 100% RI): for normal blood formation and plays a role in the process of cell division
- Zinc (2.5 mg, 25% RI): for the normal function of the immune system and the protection of cells from oxidative stress
These are the EU-approved claims for these nutrients.
Sugar-free, what does that mean?
Many gummy supplements contain a fair amount of sugar, which is a drawback if you want to limit your sugar intake. This Sugar-free variant uses maltitol syrup as a sweetener. Maltitol is a sugar alcohol that does taste sweet, but has barely any effect on blood sugar and does not cause tooth decay. Bear in mind that large amounts of sugar alcohols can cause digestive complaints. The recommended 2 gummies per day are well below that.
How do you use it?
- Children aged 3 to 12: 1 gummy per day
- Children from 12 years and adults: 2 gummies per day
You can chew the gummies calmly or let them dissolve in your mouth, preferably during or after a meal. Do not exceed the recommended daily amount. A food supplement is not a substitute for a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.
