Stratum Nutrition Donates 10,000 Multivitamin Bottles to Support VQ Cares Initiative

Stratum Nutrition is now a supporter of VQ Cares, a partnership established by Vitaquest to expand access to essential nutrition for underserved communities in the U.S.

The company is donating 10,000 bottles of adult multivitamins to the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics (NAFC) for distribution through participating free and charitable clinics across Missouri.

VQ Cares is a collaboration between Vitaquest, NAFC, and the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), uniting leaders in the dietary supplement industry to address nutrition insecurity by providing high-quality nutritional products at no cost to individuals and families facing barriers to care.  

The venture is part of CRN’s Access Initiative, which connects nutrition companies to NAFC’s nationwide network of free and charitable clinics.

“At Stratum Nutrition, we believe innovation has its greatest impact when it improves lives,” said Micah Osbourne, CEO. “Partnering with Vitaquest, the NAFC, and CRN Foundation through VQ Cares allows us to extend the reach of science-backed nutritional solutions to individuals who may otherwise lack access to them. We’re honored to support an initiative that demonstrates what our industry can accomplish when organizations work together to improve community health.”

“Stratum Nutrition’s generosity demonstrates exactly what the Access Initiative was created to inspire: companies across our industry bringing their resources and expertise together to make better nutrition accessible to people who need it most,” said Jeff Ventura, executive director at the CRN Foundation. “We are deeply grateful to Stratum for stepping forward and to Vitaquest for creating a model through VQ Cares that allows industry partners to turn their commitment into tangible nutritional support for communities. Ten thousand bottles of multivitamins mean thousands of opportunities to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.”

“VQ Cares was built on the idea that our industry can accomplish more when we work together,” said Gregory Drew, vice president of innovation at Vitaquest. “Stratum Nutrition’s generous contribution is exactly the kind of collaboration we hoped this initiative would inspire. By combining the commitment of ingredient partners like Stratum with Vitaquest’s manufacturing capabilities and the reach of the CRN Foundation and NAFC, we can turn industry generosity into meaningful nutritional support for communities that need it most.”
