Fermenta Biotech Limited has joined hands with Vitamin Angels – a non-profit organisation that works to save and improve lives across the world, by providing vitamins and minerals to pregnant women, new mothers, and children under five. This association with Vitamin Angels synergizes with Fermenta Biotech’s vision to ensure no one is deprived of vital nutrients.

Established in 1986, Fermenta Biotech Limited (FBL) is a Bio Pharmaceutical Company dealing in vitamin D3 manufacturing, specialist enzymatic biotechnology products, niche pharmaceutical APIs and biotechnology based environmental solutions. A subsidiary of DIL Ltd (formerly, Duphar Interfran Ltd), FBL has emerged as the only manufacturer of Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) in India and among the top few manufacturers in the world.

Together Fermenta Biotech Limited and Vitamin Angels, through their partnership, are determined to solve the fundamental problem of undernutrition—a widespread challenge, especially in rural areas. Undernutrition, also known as “hidden hunger”, occurs when individuals consume enough calories to survive, but the foods they eat lack adequate nutritional value. Children under five, pregnant women, and new mothers are the most vulnerable to undernutrition.

An award-winning non-profit organisation, Vitamin Angels works to reach underserved communities in partnership with over 700 NGOs in more than 50 countries around the world. Fermenta Biotech Limited, through its donations, helped over 40,000 children in India and all over the world gain access to life changing vitamins. For the past eight years, Vitamin Angels has received Charity Navigator’s highest rating for Financial Health, Accountability and Transparency. Over 90 per cent of donations to Vitamin Angels goes directly towards delivering vitamins to children and mothers.

Vitamins Angels is working to combat undernutrition through a comprehensive approach that starts with vitamin supplementation and includes support for breastfeeding women, deworming, and more. Vitamin Angels believes every child deserves the chance to lead a healthy and productive life – something possible through the power of vitamins.

“It is a privilege for Fermenta Biotech to be able to support the global endeavours of the nonprofit organisation, Vitamin Angels. It feels great to join Vitamin Angels’ compassionate initiative and be able to make a difference towards health and wellbeing of thousands of people the world over. Our motto is to discover, develop and deliver futuristic health solutions that help embrace a well-nourished life. Vitamin Angels is a perfect partner in that endeavor,” says Prashant Nagre, chief executive officer, Fermenta Biotech Limited.

Adding to it Howard Schiffer, president and founder of Vitamin Angels said,“We are so pleased to partner with Fermenta Biotech. Their support is essential to the work that Vitamin Angels is doing in India and around the world. We are grateful for their support and look forward to a long partnership.”
