Disease Targeted Multivitamins Set Benchmark in Personalized Health Care

August 12, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Health News
Sunnyvale, California, The launch of Mitamins.com, a new healthcare portal, allows consumers to design multivitamin supplement formulations that are customized to their individual health concerns and automatically screened for medication interactions. Orders are placed at the laboratory online and manufactured using the level of technology commonly associated with pharmaceutical clinical trials.

“We are proud to be the first company to provide customized healthcare in this manner” said Mitamins’ Chief Medical Officer Dr James Balch “With the rise in manufacturing and communications technology it was inevitable that consumers were eventually offered this level of control over their healthcare products, particularly when we look at the supplement marketplace where companies are pushing the same one-size-fits-all multivitamins at individuals with very different requirements. Of course, people can buy many different vitamin bottles and take all the ingredients separately, but where’s the convenience in that?”

The increased amount of knowledge available to consumers in the United States has been a key driver in the demand for personalization of dietary supplement products.
This website initiative will also be a major health information resource interaction including online forums and discussion groups. Physicians, nutritionists and healthcare practitioners will be available alongside consumers to give advice, support and to generate discussion on any disease, wellness concern or supplemental health topic.
