For many people, vitamins and supplements are an important part of the morning routine. According to recent research, more than 60% of U.S. adults report using at least one supplement, and 16% use four or more per day. While these products can help fill nutritional gaps, achieve a well-balanced diet, and support good health, they can come at a cost. Roughly 60 million Americans spend about $60 billion on dietary supplements each year. But there are ways to cut down on those out-of-pocket expenses, and SingleCare coupons are among the most reliable.
Most insurance plans, including Medicare Part D, usually won’t cover over-the-counter vitamins and supplements. Medicaid typically won’t either, but it depends on the state. However, you might receive some coverage if a healthcare provider prescribes one for a specific condition or nutritional deficiency. The only way to know for sure is to check your insurance plan’s formulary or contact the insurance company directly.
Even if your insurance won’t cover a particular vitamin or if your copay is still too high, SingleCare coupons can still help you save on dietary supplements. Many people use SingleCare to save money on their vitamins. SingleCare processed more than half a million scripts for variations of vitamin D in 2025 alone, and folic acid was among the top 50 most popular drugs used among SingleCare users.

Does insurance cover prenatal vitamins?
Prescription prenatal vitamins may be covered by insurance plans, Medicare, and Medicaid. Over-the-counter prenatals are less frequently covered, but they may be eligible for reimbursement from an HSA or FSA. Without insurance coverage, the average cost of prenatal supplements is around $15 for 30 pills; however, some brand-name prenatal supplements can cost upward of $50 per month.
How much do vitamins cost?
Without insurance or other discounts, vitamins typically cost $10-$30.
Average prices:
Vitamin B12: $15
Vitamin D2: $10 for over-the-counter | $25 for prescription-strength
Vitamin C: $17
Folic acid: $5-$10 for over-the-counter | $18-$25 for prescription-strength
Multivitamins can sometimes be more cost-effective, although they might not be as helpful for people who need to address specific nutrient deficiencies, since they aren’t as targeted and may contain vitamins you don’t need.
Is it cheaper to buy vitamins and supplements online?
Purchasing vitamins online isn’t always cheaper than getting them at a local pharmacy, but websites will sometimes offer special discounts. That said, not all supplements are safe. The FDA doesn’t regulate supplements the same way as medications, so it’s important to vet them before you buy. It may be helpful to seek third-party approvals from organizations such as the U.S. Pharmacopeia or NSF. Additionally, it’s important to examine the supplement’s label carefully, since some may have hidden, harmful ingredients.
But most importantly, discuss any vitamins or supplements you’re considering with your healthcare provider. They can tell you whether these products are safe, effective, and appropriate for you specifically.
