The teen years are a time of rapid growth and development demanding increased energy and nutrient requirements. At the same time, many children develop irregular and unhealthy eating habits, not getting the nutrients they need to stay healthy and grow. Teens care more about how they look than what they eat.At this critical time, teens need to develop good habits of supplementing their diet with a good multi-vitamin. Adolescence is a time of rapid bone growth. Recent studies have documented the high prevalence of calcium and vitamin D3 deficiency in teens. This is attributed to low dairy and high caffeine intake. Teen vegetarians might miss much needed vitamin B-12 (found mainly in food that is derived from meat products). Teen boys need higher levels of zinc. (Teen girls need added iron to replenish the body with iron lost during menstrual periods, see Teen Supreme Hers).Our Teen Formulas provide your teens with the basic nutrients they need to grow and develop properly, to fill in where their diet is poor and to give the parent one less thing to worry about.
