For every Pure Prescriptions, NewGreens or IAGEN Biologics branded product purchased through our website, Pure Prescriptions will give enough to Save A Life with Vitamin Angels.
By making a purchase from us and any of the 3 brands above, we will give to Vitamin Angels to support programs like Operation 20/20, an international vitamin A campaign. An estimated 147 million children suffer from vitamin A deficiency (VAD) worldwide. Operation 20/20 dramatically decreases mortality rates in areas targeted by this program – by 23%.
Focusing on the underserved and those without access to facility-based health services, we connect infants, children, and lactating women to vitamin A. In addition, Operation 20/20 often combines vitamin A with anti-parasitic treatments that eliminate the presence of intestinal worms that contribute to poor absorption of vitamin A. This ensures that children at risk obtain sufficient vitamin A, decreasing the effects of VAD and advancing child immune function and survival. |
