Miami Lakes, FL (PRWEB) January 1, 2005 -- Recognizing the critical role that
nutritional supplements can play in countering the significant health dangers
posed by the recent natural disaster in Southeast Asia, Mason Vitamins, Miami
Lakes, Florida, has made a significant donation of children’s chewable
multivitamins to the Vitamin Angel Alliance, a non-profit, non-sectarian medical
assistance organization.
As a leader in the nutritional supplement
industry since 1967, Mason Vitamins understands the necessity of adequate
nutrition for optimal human health and productivity, especially to underserved
and now devastated areas around the world.
“We just knew we had to do
something and we responded immediately” said Sonia C. Rodriguez, President of
Mason Vitamins, “The infrastructure in these countries is in shambles, we know
it will be awhile before major food supplies can be shipped in. We know our
supplements may be the only source of nutrition for many of these children right
now. This could have a significant impact on lowering the risk of disease and
epidemics spreading.”
Founded 37 years ago by Carlos Rodriguez, Mason
Vitamins has become a major force in the manufacture and distribution of
nutritional supplements. The company offers a vast array of items –
approximately 415 products plus about 39 over-the-counter generics aimed at men
and women of all ages. In addition, Mason’s focus on the development of
value-added, unique and therapeutic products continues to maintain Mason’s
profile as a ‘First to Market’, innovative, and market driven
organization.
Mason takes great pride in its longevity and thanks the
Vitamin Angel Alliance for the opportunity to contribute assistance to the
victims of this heart wrenching disaster.
Vitamin Angel Alliance is a
non-profit, non-sectarian organization dedicated to providing basic nutrition
and fighting vitamin A deficiency childhood blindness around the world since
1994. Last year Vitamin Angels donated 16.2 million supplements to people in
need in 45 countries around the world.
