Solgar

Solgar is a supplement brand founded in the United States in 1947. We stock a short list of five Solgar products: lutein, biotin, chelated copper and ashwagandha root extract, all with EU labels. Every card shows the amount of the ingredient per daily dose, its share of the EU reference intake (NRV) where one exists, and the price per day, so you can set Solgar next to cheaper brands and decide on the numbers.

Solgar: who makes it

Solgar was founded in the United States in 1947 and since 2017 has belonged to Nestlé Health Science. It is known for vitamins and minerals in tablets, capsules and softgels, sold in many countries. People in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia mostly search for it as "Solgar vitamins".

What we sell from Solgar

Our Solgar selection is small and currently holds five products. Lutein comes in two strengths on the Eye Vitamins and Lutein page, and the rest sit in Ashwagandha, Biotin and Copper. The table shows the split.

If you only want the ingredient and not the brand, the category pages list every manufacturer side by side with the price per day. Mineral and vitamin basics are on the Minerals and Vitamins pages.

Reading a Solgar label: markets, doses and the EU NRV

Solgar sells in many countries, and the same product name can carry a different dose in different markets. Do not rely on a figure you remember from a foreign website. Read the label of the pack you are buying: the amount of the ingredient per daily dose, the form in brackets and the number of tablets or capsules in that dose.

On a US label the percentage is the Daily Value (DV) set by the US FDA. In the EU it is the NRV from Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011, and the lists differ: vitamin D 20 µg against 5 µg, magnesium 420 mg against 375 mg, copper 0.9 mg against 1 mg. The packs we sell carry an EU label, and our product pages show the percentage of the EU NRV. Copper, for example, has an NRV of 1 mg and an upper level of 5 mg a day from all sources, so check the label of every product you combine.

Original products and where they come from

We are not an official Solgar distributor. We buy Solgar products from a distributor in the European Union and sell them in the manufacturer's original packaging, with an EU-compliant label. The best-before date is shown on every product page.

Questions

Are Solgar products original?

Yes. They are made by Solgar and reach us through an EU distributor. We are a retailer, not an official distributor of the brand.

Why do you stock only a few Solgar products?

We add brands where we can show the dose and the price per day clearly. The Solgar selection can grow, and until then the category pages show comparable products from other brands.

Where can I buy Solgar in Lithuania, Latvia or Estonia?

In this shop. We sell to customers in all three countries, and each product page shows the price per day next to the pack price.

Is the dose the same as on the Solgar site of another country?

Not always. Doses and forms differ between markets, so trust the label and the product page of the pack you order.

Why are the percentages different from a US label?

A US label uses the US Daily Value, ours uses the EU NRV. Compare the amounts in mg or µg and the results line up.

How much copper is in the Solgar chelated copper tablets?

The daily dose on the label is half a tablet, which gives 1.25 mg of copper, or 125% of the 1 mg NRV. A pack of 100 tablets therefore lasts 200 days.

What lutein and biotin doses does Solgar have here?

Lutein comes as 20 mg in 60 softgels and 40 mg in 30 capsules, one a day. The biotin tablet has 300 µg, which is 600% of the 50 µg NRV, one tablet a day.
