Our story

Vims Multivitamin

Stacey Huntley, a dedicated single mother of two student-athletes in college, was concerned about her children's nutrition and overall health as they navigated the challenges of college life. She worried about how she could continue to provide healthy options and support them from afar, not only physically but mentally as well.

While researching the subject, Stacey discovered the high rate of nutrient deficiencies among college students, which often led to various health concerns such as lack of energy, anxiety, sleep issues, lack of focus, fatigue, stress, and even depression. While searching for a vitamin specific to her children's needs, she began to find that most products on the market were geared toward children and adults and failed to hit the “in-between” age group of 18-25.

As she began to speak with other parents in her community, she discovered that many other families were worried about their children's health and were struggling to find the right wellness items to send their way.

This experience motivated Stacey to establish VIMS. Recognizing the absence of tailored products for young adults, particularly the age group between 18 and 25, she felt compelled to bridge this gap. Witnessing fellow parents' struggles coupled with rising concerns about mental health, she took action.

  • THE JOURNEY TO VIMS

    Stacey consulted with dieticians and medical professionals. She envisioned a multivitamin that perfectly catered to the nutritional needs of young adults aged 18-25. However, the first obstacle was the lack of research regarding college students and their health needs. Stacey collaborated with experts to discover the most needed vitamins for this demographic and began the creation of the VIMS CLEAN SLATE Multi, a first-of-its-kind multivitamin targeting immune health, brain function, energy levels, and more.

    Another issue Stacey was concerned about was the mental health of our youth. The majority of college students meet the criteria for at least one mental health issues, and depression, anxiety, and suicide rates have only been on the rise in recent years.

    Stacey imagined an easy online space where families could provide wellness-focused care packages for their college students or young adults. These care packages would not only include vitamins and supplements but also inspirational quotes, words of encouragement, mental health resources, information on how to quit vaping/tobacco, and other self-care items. While speaking with friends, family, and community members, they shared that they would be thrilled to have the option to send a truly healthy “care” package to their loved one while they are away at college, in the military, or just on their own for the first time.

  • WHERE ARE WE TODAY

    VIMS has now transformed into a community of wellness and nutrition for students and young adults. Stacey’s passion for supporting this overlooked age group not only led to the creation of the innovative CLEAN SLATE Multivitamin but also inspired the development of seasonal care packages filled with self-care items, motivational messages, and wellness essentials. Looking forward, we plan to offer fully custom care packages as well as one-time purchases through our exclusive online shop. Our care packages focus on whole-body health, and our mission is nurturing the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of young adults, making sure they feel their best.
