Interventions
Proven Nutrition Solutions to Improve Health and Save Lives
At Vitamin Angels, we implement high-impact, evidence-based nutrition interventions. We focus our package of nutrition solutions on critical window between pregnancy and a child’s fifth birthday. The vital first 1,000 days – from pregnancy through age two – are particularly important for increasing child survival, improving growth and development, and ensuring positive maternal health outcomes.
Our Package of Nutrition Solutions
To improve maternal and child health, we provide our program partners with evidence-based approaches and interventions – from high-quality vitamins and minerals to nutrition education and counseling designed to encourage positive behavior change. All of the nutritional products we distribute are manufactured to internationally recognized quality and manufacturing standards. To ensure our program partners can deliver interventions effectively, we provide training and resources. Additionally, our educational programming is designed based on evidence-based best practices.
Prenatal Vitamins and Minerals (Multiple Micronutrient Supplements)
MMS can safely and effectively improve maternal health and pregnancy outcomes and set children on a path toward healthy growth and development.
Optimal Infant and Young Child Nutrition
Promoting the early initiation of breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months, and feeding nutrient-rich complementary foods, along with continued breastfeeding from 6-23 months of age, supports the health, wellbeing, and survival of children.
Vitamin A Supplementation and Deworming
For children aged six months to five years who are at risk for vitamin A deficiency, supplementation boosts the immune system, promotes physical growth, prevents blindness, and improves survival rates. Adding Albendazole, a deworming treatment, ensures children can optimally absorb the nutrients they receive for improved child health and nutrition.
