Dear Sir/Madam:

As a parent of a child with mainstream, clinically diagnosed food allergies, I have been informed by the doctor that my child is not getting the recommended daily allowances of specific vitamins, and that I should work to add these to my child's diet through vitamin supplementation.

I have noticed that many companies, such as your own, seem to only make vitamin supplements that contain food ingredients (often as binders), including my child's allergens. My child is one of the individuals most sincerely in need of vitamin supplementation, yet I find myself in a catch 22 where it is unsafe to give them and unsafe not to.

Because of this, I cannot feed my child the vitamins and minerals s/he needs through certain foods, yet I also cannot purchase and use these vitamins as safe supplementation.

I am hopeful that your company will work to develop vitamin supplements that do not contain food ingredients.

Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of this issue.



Sincerely,

X _____________________________________________
