Welcome back! Today I’m sharing the supplement brand taking the world of wellness by storm. It’s APOKRA vitamins! We’ve been trying out their family-friendly supplements: APOKRA Vegan Breastfeeding Multivitamins, Apokra Kids! Omega 3 DHA Drops, and APOKRA Kids! Vitamin D3 Drops for a few weeks. Today, I’m delighted to introduce the brand to you.

Inspired by their pharmacist grandfather, brothers Matthew and Max Hanson founded APOKRA with a clear vision – to help people focus on their health and nutrition. Indeed, as qualified pharmacists working in the nutrition industry, the brothers were the first to bring vegan algae oil omega 3 DHA liquid to the public in the form of a cleaner and more sustainable plant-based alternative to traditional fish oils.
Hence, expanding the product range into vitamins for the whole family’s wellness was a natural next step.
Today, APOKRA offer us specialist pre-natal, pregnancy, and breastfeeding vitamins alongside adult supplements – plus liquid vitamin drops for kids. As you would expect, the formulations contain no sugar, preservatives, allergens such as gluten or lactose, and no artificial colours or flavours.
You’ll find the products in UK and Ireland retail stores, including over one thousand Boots, Holland & Barrett, and Superdrug stores.
APOKRA Vegan Breastfeeding Multivitamins
Until now, breastfeeding mums took two separate tablets to cover all our nutritional needs. But now, we can take just two of these breastfeeding vitamins – multivitamins combined with vegan omega-3 in two convenient tablets per day, containing 21 post-natal specific nutrients.
We know how important omega-3 is to the brain and eye development of our baby. The omega-3 in APOKRA Vegan Breastfeeding Multivitamins is 5x better absorbed than regular omega-3 supplements.
Also, this is vegan omega-3 derived from marine algae, so it has no fishy aftertaste and no fishy burps later down the line! In fact, the tablets have a delicious vanilla taste which is really pleasant.
Accordingly, the vitamins contain your daily recommended dose of vitamin D (10mcg), alongside plenty of calcium (75% of your RDA).
As a breastfeeding mother, I really appreciate the quality of these multivitamins and I love that I don’t need to take an extra omega-3 capsule. I feel totally satisfied that myself and my baby are receiving good quality nutrition.
You might be asking yourself, what is the difference between these breastfeeding multivitamins, and the most advertised brand in the UK, Pregnacare? Here, we can see very similar nutrients at slightly varying levels. The difference is that the APOKRA tablets are totally vegan and vegetarian, and offer benefits even if you’re not vegan, since their omega-3 is more readily-available. Importantly, for those wishing to live a sustainable and ethical lifestyle, the omega-3 in the capsules is sourced from marina algae and not fish.
With all these benefits in mind, let me mention that these tablets are considerably more expensive than their counterparts. However, should you wish to live a sustainable lifestyle, or if you’re vegan, these are the breastfeeding multivitamins for you. They represent the most bio-available omega-3 you can get.

APOKRA Kids! Omega 3 DHA Drops
If you’re looking for a vegan omega-3 supplement for your baby or child, then look no further. Suitable from 3 months to 12 years old, APOKRA omega-3 drops come in a liquid format that’s easily mixed with food, milk, or smoothies.
In fact, they’re naturally sugar-free and give the recommended amount of 250mg omega-3 DHA for children over 2 years old.
When it comes to kids, omega 3 is vital in the maintenance of normal brain and eye development & has shown benefits in asthma, eczema, autism and ADHD.

The drops come with an eco-friendly glass dropper that exactly measures the correct dose. We mix the orange flavoured drops into my baby’s plain yogurt, and she loves it! Simply rinse the dropper after use ready for tomorrow.
The drops are also based on marina algae sources rather than fish, so your baby won’t have to endure a fishy taste. I think the drops are such a fantastic way to supplement this essential nutrient!

APOKRA Kids! Vitamin D3 Drops
Vitamin D is undoubtably one of the most important supplements you can give to your child, and is recommended for all ages by the NHS throughout autumn and winter (source).
These vegan vitamin D drops make the perfect supplement for kids from birth to 12 years old. Specifically, they contain the recommended daily dose of 10 micrograms per 0.5ml of vitamin D, which results in a daily supplement of vitamin D 400iu for toddlers and kids. What’s more, the unflavoured supplement is suspended in high-quality MCT oil.
Again, the eco-friendly glass dropper makes dispensing the drops easy. My kids don’t notice me putting their dose into their milk or yogurt. It makes dosing really easy and simple! Again, simply rinse the dropper ready for next time.
So, if syrups and gummies aren’t your thing, APOKRA kids vitamin D is a really healthy and clean choice. The bottle contains two months supply.

Final thoughts on Apokra vitamins
We really love APOKRA vitamins! Particularly, that they’re a vegan, healthy, and sustainable alternative to traditional soft-gel omega-3 supplements. We’d love to try more from the brand, like their vitamin C and immunity supplements – especially with winter approaching.
