In celebration of Black History Month, Black Girl Vitamins (BGV), the pioneering wellness brand dedicated to Black women’s health that has helped over 200,000 Black women in the U.S., is introducing “Sisterhood in Self-Care” as the theme for 2025’s Black History Month initiatives.

Throughout February, BGV will:
- Host fitness classes led by Black women instructors in cities such as Atlanta, Dallas, Durham, Detroit, and Chicago.
- Present educational webinars featuring licensed practitioners discussing critical health issues such as fibroids and PCOS.
- Offer an exclusive “Sis Self-Care” Box for purchases above $60 on their website.
Addressing Health Disparities Through Targeted Nutrition
Black History Month serves as a poignant reminder of the health disparities Black women face, such as vitamin D and iron deficiencies often overlooked in healthcare. Through its products and initiatives, BGV empowers Black women to prioritize their health while honoring the legacy of Black medical pioneers who advanced equitable care.
Empowering Wellness with Targeted Supplements
BGV offers a range of products designed to support overall wellness, including energy-boosting supplements and skin, hair, and nail care. Their flagship products include:
- Vitamin D3 Supplements – Addressing the higher risk of deficiency among Black women due to melanin-rich skin, supporting bone health, immunity, and vitality.
- Iron Gummies – Formulated to combat iron deficiency, common among menstruating or pregnant Black women, helping reduce fatigue, dizziness, and poor concentration.
- Collagen Powder – Enhancing skin elasticity and overall beauty from within.
These products, alongside BGV’s other offerings, work together to support optimal health and well-being every day.
