Vitamin & Me: Why Nutritional Supplements are Crucial to Your Health

Vitamin & Me: Why Nutritional Supplements are Crucial to Your Health

Much research has been done on multivitamin intake, including recommended intake for certain populations such as those who are pregnant and young children. How does one know what vitamin(s) are needed? How is information on supplements disseminated and shared with those who need it most, and then how are vitamins provided? Join us for a conversation on the public health need for vitamins and nutritional information with the CEO of Vitamin & Me and how Vitamin & Me is addressing this issue.

Vitamin & Me

Houston, founder and CEO of Vitamin & Me and author of EatClean30, did not set out to create a vitamin brand. As a Johns Hopkins educated nutritional scientist, public health professional, and mother, she made it her mission to give women everywhere access to the nutrition they need.

Driven by a passion to improve the lives of women and children across the world, she launched Vitamin & Me, a SAAS data analytics service that matches you to the nutrients you need and delivers them to your door each month.

And with every purchase, Vitamin & Me provides nutrition to women, men and children around the world. So far, we’ve given 120,000 micronutrient grants in 74 countries, including every state in the US.  And we’re just getting started!
