About VIMS
ABOUT VIMS
Born from a single mom’s dedication to her college-bound kids, VIMS addresses the universal challenge faced by young adults living away from home. Through research and collaboration with health professionals, we formulated a multivitamin tailored specifically for 18-25-year-olds. Our mission extends beyond vitamins to focus on mental health, providing holistic care packages and active support for our young generation.
We cater not only to college students, but also to deployed young people, individuals living away from home for the first time, or anyone interested in health and wellness. Parents, grandparents, family friends—we’re your go-to for a unique way to show love when your young ones are away from home.
MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS
Did you know more than 60% of college students meet the criteria for at least one mental health problem, nearly a 50% increase since 2013? Between adjusting to life away from home, the stress of separation from family, having to care for themselves in a new setting, and having to perform at a new school or job, can all create the perfect storm for depression, anxiety, sleep issues and stress in our next generation of adults.
The mental health of our young adults is equally as important as their physical health. With anxiety, stress, suicide rates, and other mental health issues on the rise, VIMS is dedicated to supporting our youth when they need it most. Our care packages include uplifting messages to inspire and encourage as well as national helpline information for suicide prevention, substance abuse, eating disorders and LGBTQ support to name a few. Each VIMS package is carefully thought out and curated with goodies designed to uplift and nourish the body and mind.

STACEY HUNTLEY
Founder & Owner
A devoted mother of 2, this lifelong athlete has always been passionate about the health and wellness of her family. Growing up in Connecticut among a family of boys, she learned quickly how to compete, to never give up when things got tough and most importantly the necessity of finding balance in one's life.
Firmly believing in the value of giving her children the proper tools to help them navigate the challenges of moving from teen years to adulthood is what inspired her to create VIMS and the Clean Slate Multivitamin. Stacey has always believed that people (especially younger people) are entitled to a “redo”, a start over with a clean slate. Her goal with VIMS is to promote the feeling of starting each day anew with healthy vitamins and a clear mind...to give our next generation their own Clean Slate reset.
Stacey graduated with a degree in Business and Marketing from Bryant University where she ran Cross Country and Track. Both of her children are currently in college. -
