Rainbow Light Recognized as One of the Industry's Best at Natural Products Expo West

SANTA CRUZ, Calif., March 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Rainbow Light Nutritional Systems, the number-one trusted natural vitamin brand, was celebrated as an industry vanguard at two separate events during Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, Calif., March 6-9.

Rainbow Light Honored for 20 Years of Fighting Global Under-nutrition
During its 20 Year Celebration event held at Angels Stadium on Thursday, March 6, Vitamin Angels® presented Rainbow Light with its Founding Supporter Award in recognition of two decades of work together toward the goal of ending global under-nutrition. Since 1994, Rainbow Light has provided lifesaving and life changing nutrients to mothers and babies around the world, donating almost 38 million vitamins to the organization's efforts. Children under five, pregnant women, and new mothers are the most vulnerable to vitamin deficiencies, with more than forty-five percent of all childhood deaths attributable to malnutrition. In 2013, Vitamin Angels connected nearly 30 million children in 45 countries, including Haiti, South Africa, Kenya, Ethiopia, Dominican Republic and Peru, as well as in the U.S., with the vital nutrients they need to build the foundation for good health.

"Linda Kahler from Rainbow Light was the first person I called when I started Vitamin Angels twenty years ago. She said yes that day and has continued to say yes ever since," said Howard Schiffer, Vitamin Angels' founder and president. "Rainbow Light's commitment to healthy mothers and children is truly at the heart of their company; it's been helping make our work possible since day one."
