Why we carry Vitakruid supplements
Vitakruid is a Dutch family business that has developed food supplements since 2000. The brand grew out of a naturopathic practice and now blends orthomolecular nutrition with knowledge of herbs. Over more than twenty years it has become one of the better-known supplement brands in the Netherlands. Its motto, "Driven by health", captures the approach in one line: choose the form the body absorbs well, use a sensible dose, and combine nutrients that make sense together.
Well-absorbed forms come first
Vitakruid selects ingredients by how well your body takes them up, not by what simply sounds natural. With minerals this makes a real difference. The magnesium range uses organic forms bound to an amino acid, such as bisglycinate, citrate, malate and taurate, instead of cheap magnesium oxide. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. On every label the exact form sits in brackets, so you can see what you are taking.
For some nutrients the natural version is the better choice, and Vitakruid says so openly. Its vitamin B12 products use methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin, often paired with folate and the active vitamin B6 form P-5-P. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of fatigue and tiredness. Where a synthetic form is absorbed better, the brand picks that instead, with nature as the starting point.
The herbal side sets Vitakruid apart from brands that sell single herbs on their own. Formulas such as ashwagandha, curcumin and saffron are designed to sit alongside vitamins and minerals, on the idea that the interplay between them matters. That mix of orthomolecular science and herbal tradition runs through much of the range, which also includes vitamin C, vitamin D3 with K2, omega-3, collagen powders and probiotics.
Why Vitakruid at BONO
We carry Vitakruid because its choices mirror how we select: form first, then dose, then the combination. We like that every label names the nutrient form in brackets, so you are never left guessing. Many products are vegan or vegetarian and free from GMO, added colours and flavours, which fits a broad audience. We buy straight from the brand, so what reaches you is authentic. Every product passes our compliance check before it goes live, and we test ourselves while independent labs spot-check batches. That is the honest basis on which we stand behind this range.
Who the range suits
Vitakruid suits you if you want to know exactly what is in your supplement and prefer active, well-absorbed forms. The choice is wide, from single nutrients to complete multivitamin formulas built around a day and night rhythm. There are also formulas aimed at athletes, at pregnancy, and at vegetarians who may fall short on certain nutrients. Bundles that pair complementary products are part of the range too, which can work out cheaper than buying each item alone. A few honest notes help set expectations:
- Support, not replacement: supplements top up a varied diet, they do not stand in for it.
- Give it time: for most nutrients, expect steady support with consistent daily use rather than an instant effect.
- Read the label: some multivitamins are not suitable for young children, so check the age note before buying.
Frequently asked questions
Which Vitakruid products are most popular?
Across shops, the most-chosen Vitakruid lines are the Multi Day and Night series, the magnesium range, the B12 Combi with folate, vitamin D3 with K2, buffered vitamin C, collagen powders and probiotics. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system, which is one reason the vitamin C options are frequently bought. Your best choice depends on your own diet and goals, so read each product page before deciding.
Who makes Vitakruid and what does the brand stand for?
Vitakruid is a Dutch family business, based in Hoofddorp, that has developed food supplements since 2000. It grew from a naturopathic practice and combines orthomolecular nutrition with herbal knowledge. The brand builds its work around three pillars: knowledge, quality and advice. In practice that means it chooses the ingredient form the body absorbs well, uses an effective dose, and looks for combinations of nutrients that make sense together.
Why does Vitakruid sometimes use synthetic ingredient forms?
Because natural does not always mean well absorbed. Vitakruid chooses the form with the highest bioavailability, whether that is natural or synthetic. With magnesium, for example, it uses forms bound to an amino acid rather than poorly absorbed magnesium oxide. With vitamin B12 the natural forms methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin are taken up better, so those are used. The products stay free from unnecessary synthetic additives, with nature as the reference point.
When is the best time to take Vitakruid supplements?
As a general rule, taking Vitakruid with a meal helps absorption, and fat-soluble vitamins like D3 are best taken with food that contains some fat. The Multi Day and Night range is the exception by design: you take one tablet at breakfast and one before sleep, because the body has different needs by day and by night. When in doubt, follow the dose and timing printed on the product.
Why is Vitakruid more expensive than drugstore vitamins?
The higher price mostly reflects what is inside, not the packaging. Vitakruid uses active, well-absorbed forms and effective dosages, and its plain, low-key packaging keeps the cost in the product itself. That suits people who want to know exactly what they take and prefer bioavailable forms. Cheaper options exist, but they often use lower-absorption forms and may not state the exact form on the label. Compare the form and the dose, not just the price.
Which Vitakruid magnesium form should I choose?
Vitakruid offers several organic magnesium forms, each bound to a different partner molecule. The table gives a quick overview to help you compare. Whichever you pick, magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
| Form | Bound to | Often chosen for |
|---|---|---|
| Bisglycinate | Glycine | Gentle on the stomach |
| Citrate | Citric acid | Everyday top-up |
| Malate | Malic acid | Daytime use |
| Taurate | Taurine | Combined with vitamin B6 |
Are Vitakruid supplements vegan or vegetarian?
Many Vitakruid products are made suitable for a vegan or vegetarian diet, and the brand aims to keep this as wide as possible. Suitable products carry a clear label, and the information is repeated in the product description. Most products are also free from GMO, added colours and flavours. Not every product is vegan, though, so always check the label or product page before you buy if this matters to you.
What is Vitakruid SilSolutions?
SilSolutions is one of Vitakruid's best-known products, a liquid supplement that contains silicon. It is vegan and free from gluten, lactose and sugar, and a tropical-flavoured version is also available. We keep the description factual here, because there is no approved European health claim for silicon that we can repeat. For the exact composition, dose and intended use, check the product label and description.
