Teen Boy Food-Grown Daily Multi Nutrient

Yes, absolutely. We recommend this product from the age of 12, or from when your son starts to enter puberty.

This is safe to combine with our Food-Grown Vitamin D, and your teen may choose to supplement with extra depending on the time of year. Supplementation of Vitamin D is officially recommended during autumn and winter, however if your teen is unwell, staying indoors for extended periods of time or has dark skin, they will need to supplement all year round. Vitamin D is particularly important for your teen’s mood, bones, teeth, hormones, growth, calcium absorption and immune system.

Yes, they can.

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.
