Women's Multivitamins

Women's Multivitamins brings together daily vitamin and mineral capsules formulated for women. We list two 90-capsule options from Trec Nutrition, the Women's Multivitamin and the original Multivitamin For Women, for women who want a single daily supplement alongside a balanced diet.

What matters on a women's multivitamin label

  • Iron: the NHS puts the need for women aged 19 to 50 at 14.8 mg a day, much more than men, so many women's formulas include it. Iron contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Keep iron-containing products out of reach of children.
  • Folate: folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy. The NHS advises 400 micrograms of folic acid a day when trying to conceive and until week 12 of pregnancy.
  • Vitamin D: 10 micrograms a day in autumn and winter is the NHS advice for everyone.
  • Vitamin A: keep your total from food and supplements below an average of 1.5 mg a day, and avoid supplements containing vitamin A (retinol) in pregnancy.

Our two Trec formulas

Both are 90-capsule women's dailies from Trec Nutrition. Trec Nutrition Women's Multivitamin is the newer line, with a wellness and beauty angle: its listing says it includes zinc and biotin, which contribute to the maintenance of normal skin and hair, alongside vitamins C and D, which contribute to the normal function of the immune system. Trec Nutrition Multivitamin For Women is the original formula and sits in our clearance range, so check the best-before date on the listing. Compare the two labels side by side and choose the nutrient spread that fits your diet.

Pregnancy, menopause and other women's ranges

A general multivitamin is not a pregnancy supplement. If you are trying to conceive or are pregnant, start with Prenatal & Pregnancy. For products used around the menopause and the monthly cycle, see Menopause & PMS within Women's Health. Buying for a partner? See Men's Multivitamins.

Women's Multivitamins: your questions answered

What is the difference between Trec Women's Multivitamin and Multivitamin For Women?

Both are 90-capsule daily formulas for women from Trec Nutrition. The Women's Multivitamin is the newer line, with zinc and biotin aimed at skin and hair, while Multivitamin For Women is the original formula; compare the labels to see which suits you.

Can I take a women's multivitamin during pregnancy?

Only if the label says it is suitable, and speak to your midwife or GP first. The NHS advises avoiding supplements containing vitamin A (retinol) in pregnancy, so a dedicated prenatal formula is usually the better choice.

Does a women's multivitamin contain iron?

Many do, because women of childbearing age need more iron than men, but the amount varies. Check the label, and if you also take a separate iron supplement, add the two together.

Can I take a multivitamin and a separate vitamin D?

Yes, as long as your combined vitamin D stays within the NHS limit of 100 micrograms (4,000 IU) a day for adults. Most multivitamins provide much less than that, so check both labels.

Are these multivitamins suitable after the menopause?

They can be taken at any adult age if the label allows, but needs change after the menopause; for example, iron needs fall to 8.7 mg a day. Compare the label with your diet, or ask a pharmacist for advice.
