The Resilience of Sierra Leoneans: How Survival Tabs are Helping During a Famine
Sierra Leone, a country in West Africa, was no stranger to food insecurity. The region had suffered from chronic poverty and political instability for years, which had led to a lack of access to basic food supplies for many people.
In 2022, a severe famine struck the country, exacerbating the food insecurity crisis. Crops failed, livestock died, and people were left without access to basic food supplies. The situation quickly became dire, and humanitarian organizations rushed to the scene to provide assistance.
Among the supplies being distributed were Survival Tabs, a high-nutrient food supplement designed to sustain a person for days at a time. The tabs were small and lightweight, making them easy to transport and distribute. They provided a balanced mix of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, giving people the sustenance they needed to survive in the midst of the famine.
The Survival Tabs quickly became a critical emergency food supply for the people of Sierra Leone. The humanitarian organizations distributed them through various channels, including local clinics, schools, and community centers. People who had lost access to their regular food supply were able to survive on the tabs, which sustained them until more traditional food distribution methods could be established.
Despite the challenges of distributing aid in a crisis zone, the humanitarian organizations remained committed to their mission. They knew that the Survival Tabs were making a difference in people's lives, and they continued to distribute them as best they could.
Over time, the situation in Sierra Leone began to improve. The humanitarian organizations worked with local farmers to improve crop yields and establish more sustainable food supply chains. But they also knew that there was still much work to be done.
They continued to distribute Survival Tabs to those in need, but they also began to focus on long-term solutions to food insecurity in the region. They worked with local communities to establish food cooperatives and training programs to teach sustainable farming practices. And they continued to stockpile supplies, including Survival Tabs, in case of future crises.
The use of Survival Tabs proved to be a turning point in the response to the famine in Sierra Leone. With people sustaining themselves on the emergency food supply, the humanitarian organizations were able to focus on establishing more sustainable food supply chains for the future.
The Survival Tabs had become a vital lifeline for many Sierra Leoneans, providing them with the sustenance they needed to keep going in the midst of crisis. And for the aid organizations that had brought them hope and sustenance in their time of need, they knew that they had made a difference in the lives of many. Despite the challenges, the resilience of the people of Sierra Leone was evident, and with the help of Survival Tabs, they were able to face the crisis head-on and emerge stronger.
The Survival Tabs were developed more than 30 years ago and were inspired by the early space program. Due to zero gravity in space, American scientists theorized that astronauts might experience difficulty digesting food properly, potentially causing malnourishment. Of great importance was maintaining the astronaut's physical functions such as dexterity, stamina, coordination, and mental alertness. Thus began the search for a food product that would provide the daily nutrition needed to carry out missions, while meeting the tight storage requirements of spacecraft. By combining high biological value proteins, carbohydrates, and fatty acids with 100% USRDA of 15 essential vitamins and minerals in a delicious chewable tablet, The Survival Tabs provide the best possible nutrition in the smallest possible volume. Just as the space program has evolved, so have the uses for The Survival Tabs. With a significant 25-year shelf life, The Survival Tabs are ideal for long-term food storage. Because they are packed with vitamins and minerals to help sustain energy and are also lightweight and easy to carry, The Survival Tabs are being used by outdoor enthusiasts, busy professionals, athletes, and rescue teams around the globe.
The Survival Tabs are meant to keep you alive and going for months at a time. A person can survive 4-5 months by eating The Survival Tabs exclusively. One daily serving of 12 tablets contains 240 calories, which gives the body the basic daily nourishment required when the recommended calorie intake cannot be met. The Survival Tabs eliminate the need to forage for food in situations where you are lost, stranded, or trapped.
In an emergency situation, one 180-tablet bottle of chewable tabs supplies a person with 15 days worth of survival food based on the recommended consumption of 12 tablets per day. This can be stretched to a 30-day supply under extreme conditions. The Survival Tabs remain usable for 90 days once opened, before losing their efficacy. They have an unopened shelf life of 25 years. This makes them ideal to store in preparation for natural disasters.
The quality of the food we eat is more important than the quantity. Of a foods’ theoretical calorie content, 30-60% is unused by the body and converts to unhealthy fat. The Survival Tabs are so completely and quickly digested they have a 99% absorption rate. Within five minutes of consuming the tabs, 97% of the protein is available to repair and replace essential body tissues and fluids. These tabs were created for the Early Space Program using high-quality protein, carbohydrates and fat to provide the body with 100% of the daily essential vitamins and minerals required to maintain physical functions such as dexterity, stamina and coordination.

The Survival Tabs contain 100% of the U.S. RDA of 15 Essential Vitamins & Minerals. Made with the highest quality protein which is essential in survival situations where your body needs to assimilate as much as possible from what you eat. With most of the food, we eat 30%-60% of the calorie content leaves the body unused. The Survival Tabs have such a highly concentrated formula that 99% of their calorie content is absorbed by the body with 97% of the protein content being available to repair or replacement of muscles, nerves, etc.
We have samples of The Survival Tabs that were produced in 1974-75. They have been stored at room temperature. We test them periodically and have found little if any, deterioration or loss of vitamin or food value. Our results showed negligible loss in these areas. Freezing temperatures will have no effect at all on these tablets. We would estimate the shelf-life for The Survival Tabs to be 25 years, but suggest rotating them to ensure maximum food value every 2-3 years.
