Vitamins + Children = Increased School Performance

Vitamin Relief USA’s (VRUSA) annual survey confirms that the vitamin program for undernourished children throughout the U.S. is dramatically improving children’s lives. Parents and teachers of two thousand participating children attributed improvements in the children’s health, energy, appetite, sleep, grades, concentration, social
behavior and even self-confidence to the daily vitamin program.

Over half of the parents reported an increase of energy and appetite in their children. 36% of teachers and 36% of parents said students’ self esteem had improved. One out of every four parents said their children were less depressed, less angry and less aggressive. Almost one third of teachers reported an increase in the children’s concentration.

In addition, survey results confirm that long term use of VRUSA vitamins leads to an increased reduction of seasonal illness in children. For example, in 2002, 37% of teachers and staff reported less illness in participating children, compared to 52% this year. In day-to-day life, this improvement in the children equates to less time at the doctor’s office and more time in the classroom. It is no surprise that more than one-third of the teachers and staff reported the
students were performing better at school.

Vitamin Relief USA, a tax-exempt 501©3 non-profit organization committed to improving the health status of children, seniors and adults through vitamin supplementation provided daily vitamins to over 24,000 children in 31 states across the United States.
