COMMUNITY PARTNERS

We are proud to be a partner with them.

BEHIND THE VISIBLE

Vitassium is a proud supporter of the “Behind The Visible” documentary, which takes the viewer on a journey to get to know some people who live with POTS to show how it affects their lives. 

EDUCATION & AWARENESS

We help provide education resources and support chronic illness awareness on our website and social media pages, to help reduce diagnostic delay and do our part in helping people ease their symptoms.  

  • To explain Vitassium in greater detail, we collaborated with the artist PotsieSpoons to help illustrate dysautonomia and how she uses Vitassium to help manage her symptoms. We hope this comic is a helpful educational tool for you and anyone who would like to learn about Vitassium. 

  • We have provided some helpful tips and resources available for when you are diagnosed. 
  • We’re transparent about the extensive research that supports our products.  

PHYSICIANS PROGRAM

Through our Vitassium Physicians Program, we can donate free sample packets to U.S.-based physicians and clinics who care for individuals with dysautonomia, POTS or EDS.
