BUYER'S
CO-OP
Recent studies have begun to provide scientific proof of something many have been aware of for some time - good nutrition can help us live healthier lives. Sometimes that requires the extra support of vitamins, minerals, and herbs. In the case of persons living with HIV, more and more people are learning that an improved diet and regular nutritional supplementation can assist the body’s own mechanisms for managing HIV infection and can help reduce the side effects of combination therapies.
In February of 1998 we began offering Jarrow Formulas Nutritional Supplements to our membership. We call it the “Buyer’s Co-op”. Twice monthly we process orders from our office and ship directly to consumers so mailing addresses remain confidential.
Thanks to Jarrow Formulas, we are able to offer these high quality formulations at deeply discounted prices in the hopes that more members will take advantage of the health benefits available through supplementation. We also provide scholarships to HIV+ Vermont individuals who are unable to afford the cost of the supplements.
If you are a Vermonter living with HIV, or knows someone who is, and would like information about our “Buyer’s Co-op” and/or our scholarship program please call our office at (802) 229-5754 or toll free in Vermont at (800) 698-8792 or e-mail us at VTPWAC@sover.net.
The Buyer's Coop is open to all--people who are HIV+, friends, and families. Scholarships, however, are available only to those who are HIV+.
For more information about the importance of a healthy diet and the benefits of nutritional supplementation, pick up a copy of our video “Managing Nutrition in HIV”. It is available on our WORKSHOP page.
