Frequently asked questions
Melanin impacts how we produce certain nutrients, and it reduces our body’s ability to absorb Vitamin D from the sun, which puts us at risk for deficiencies and impacts our overall wellness. An estimated 80% of melanated people are Vitamin D deficient. We utilized this data and over a decade of research and testing to formulate Mela with the precise vitamins, probiotics and adaptogens to address the specific nutritional needs of melanated people.
After we launched Mela, we spent a year conducting consumer focus groups and coordinating with healthcare providers to identify the precise vitamins, probiotics and adaptogens needed by melanated bodies. We then used this science-based data to formulate our Daily Essentials multivitamin.
