Teenagers have an increased demand for key nutrients during their teenage years. They require additional energy to support the brain, skeletal system and muscle growth as well as to cope with rapid hormonal shifts. The nutritional value of the average teenage diet, however, falls below the level required at this important life stage. It can be harder to consistently control the diet of teenagers as they gain more independence and move away from good home-cooked food or develop new dietary preferences. Studies show that many teens have inadequate intakes of vital nutrients including Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, magnesium, calcium, iron and zinc. Teens who are focused on fitness or are sporty, under pressure with school work, extra curricular activities or are very socially active will require extra nutritional support.
