Ashley Harmon, founder of Mela Vitamins, spent years struggling with chronic fatigue, skin breakouts, and digestive problems until she was diagnosed with PCOS and a Vitamin D deficiency. Frustrated by expensive and ineffective multivitamins, she dedicated the next decade to researching, testing ingredients, and creating her own supplements.

Through this journey, Ashley discovered that melanin affects how we absorb certain nutrients, particularly Vitamin D. With an estimated 80% of melanated people being Vitamin D deficient—putting them at greater risk for health issues—she realized that most multivitamins weren’t formulated with their unique needs in mind.

This inspired her to create Mela Vitamins, the first multivitamin designed specifically for melanated women. At Mela Vitamins, your wellness will always come first.
