Pharmachem Laboratories, Inc. Doubles Donation to 2 Million Multi-vitamins to Vitamin Angel Alliance for Tibetan Children

Kearny, NJ (PRWEB) April 18, 2006

In response to Vitamin Angel Alliance’s program to prevent vitamin deficiency diseases in Tibet’s at-risk children, Pharmachem Laboratories, Inc. has announced that it will double its previous donation to 2 million multiple vitamins every month in an ongoing relief effort that began in 2003.

Vitamin Angel Alliance, a non-profit charity organization dedicated to providing basic nutrition around the world, organizes monthly donations with ingredients from Pharmachem Laboratories, tableting and bottling from Tishcon Corporation, and in country assistance from the Terma Foundation, a non-profit humanitarian organization focusing on Tibetan health crises.

“Our hope is that by donating nutritional supplements, it will help the malnourished children in Tibet. We want to be part of the admirable work that Vitamin Angel Alliance is doing,” said Bruce McAdams, Senior Vice President of Pharmachem Laboratories, Inc. “With the help of Vitamin Angel Alliance, we are shipping nutritional supplements to where they are needed.”

A study conducted by the Terma Foundation found that up to 80 percent of Tibetian children are vulnerable to rickets, which causes deformities of the skeletal system and other vitamin deficiency diseases that put children at risk.

“We are just so thrilled with Pharmachem’s increase in their donation. This brings us closer to our goal of distributing 5 million multivitamins to children in Tibet every month,” said Howard Schiffer, Vitamin Angel Alliance President. “Since starting this campaign in 2003, a dramatic improvement has been seen in the children being served in Tibet. Pharmachem Laboratories has been with us from the start and are consistently one of the first companies to reach out and help during disasters such as the tsunami and Hurricane Katrina. This company continues to provide assistance before they are even asked.”

Last year alone, Vitamin Angel Alliance shipped over 100 million supplements to over 40 countries throughout the world, including South Asia’s tsunami and the U.S. Hurricane Katrina victims.
