VLCAD Awareness - Lighting the Way for Rare Energy

VLCAD (Very Long-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency) is a rare metabolic condition that affects how the body converts certain fats into energy. For many living with VLCAD — including our daughter, Isla — even simple activities like walking, playing, or sleeping can place strain on the body. Instead of processing energy like most people, their muscles can weaken, fatigue can build, and dangerous complications can arise without warning.

At Glow Pantry, VLCAD is not just a cause — it is the heartbeat of our brand. Our candles, our citrus creations, and our mission are all shaped by the resilience, creativity, and spark of the VLCAD community. Every product sold contributes to raising awareness and funds for research, helping families access care, and supporting a future where treatment is clearer and lives are easier.

VLCAD may be rare, but the courage behind it is not. Through beautiful design, education, and light, we are here to spark connection, amplify voices, and build something meaningful — one flame, one story, one family at a time.
