Getting Vitamins To Those Who Need Them Most

The human body needs vitamins to survive. They are a vital part of our wellbeing and have a role in every single process that is carried out in the body – and yet the body does not make its own vitamins. These must be acquired from the diet via certain types of food, or taken in via a selection of vitamins, minerals and supplements that can be purchased – usually in tablet form.

Unfortunately, there are people in parts of the world who do not have access to a healthy and balanced diet, and nor do they have access to the plethora of over the counter alternatives that are available to us in the developed world. That’s why supplement company DSM is launching their Vitamins in Motion programme, to take vitamins, minerals and supplements to those who need them most.

The programme aims to increase wellness by battling malnutrition for over two million people via vitamin distribution and food supplementation.

Carried out through charity Sight and Life, the vitamin distribution programme is thought to be a vital part of improving outcomes for those in developing countries, enabling them to enjoy a better quality of health which, in turn, allows them to work and to support their families.

Initially launched to help deal with the world’s Vitamin A deficiency problems, the Sight and Life charity now runs through DMS with a much broader remit, to bring an end to vitamin deprivation and to increase wellness throughout the world via carefully targeted programmes of vitamin distribution.
