October 19, 2004 – A report compiled by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the Micronutrient Initiative found that almost a third of the world's people are not growing to their full intellectual or physical potential, which in turn affects the potential of entire nations. The report, titled “Vitamin and Mineral Deficiency: A Global Progress Report,” highlighted the fact that a lack of certain vitamins and minerals in the diet, even if there is enough food to eat overall, can result in a lower IQ.

Pharmanex®'s VitaMeal™ was formulated according to specifications from Dr. Ken Brown from the University of California, Davis to be ideal for malnourished children. It has the nutrients for brain, muscle, bone and full body development.

Pharmanex recently reduced the price of VitaMeal around the world by 33-50% so that people can donate much more food and feed more children for the same price.
