Deva Vegan Prenatal Multivitamin and Mineral - 90 Tablets (2-Pack)

What are vegan prenatal vitamins?

Prenatal vitamins are supplements designed to meet the increased nutritional needs during pregnancy and lactation. Deva's vegan formula combines essential vitamins and minerals in a presentation suitable for vegans and vegetarians. This prenatal multivitamin provides key nutrients such as B vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), and minerals like iron and zinc, helping to supplement the daily diet.

Benefits backed by EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved health claims for several nutrients present in this formula. For example, folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy, iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin, and iodine contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function. Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal blood calcium levels, and zinc contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism.

Key ingredients and their functions

This supplement contains B complex vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, folic acid) that help normal energy metabolism. Fat-soluble vitamins are presented in safe amounts: vitamin A as beta-carotene (provitamin A), vegan vitamin D3, natural vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol), and vitamin K1. Minerals include iron (as ferrous fumarate), zinc, selenium, copper, manganese, chromium, and molybdenum. All ingredients are plant-based and do not contain common allergens such as dairy, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, or peanuts.

How to choose the best prenatal vitamins?

When selecting a prenatal supplement, it is important to consider the form of the nutrients and their bioavailability. Folic acid should be present in an adequate amount (at least 400 mcg), and iron in a well-tolerated form. Vitamin B12 in the form of methylcobalamin is preferable for vegans, as it is the active form. Deva uses beta-carotene instead of retinol, which reduces the risk of vitamin A toxicity. Furthermore, being a certified vegan product, it avoids animal-derived ingredients such as gelatin or lanolin.

When and how to take them?

It is recommended to take one tablet daily, preferably with a meal to improve the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. It is advisable to start supplementation before conception and continue during pregnancy and lactation, always under medical supervision. Each container has 90 tablets, enough for three months. Consult your healthcare professional to determine the appropriate dosage for your individual needs.
