A new formula on the market, Well Teen Plus, is aimed to help maintain vitality and wellness in teenagers.
The new formula includes CoQ10, L-carnitine, green tea and cranberry extract.
It is recommended that in addition to the basic daily ideal of trying to eat a healthy, balanced diet, teenagers safeguard their nutritional intake with a balanced multivitamin and mineral supplement specific to their needs.
An optimum nutritional intake during adolescence and young adulthood can help set the stage for lifelong health. For starters, teenage bodies need sufficient minerals and vitamins to ensure healthy development during their growth spurts.
The Well Teen Plus formula includes essential vitamins such as A, C, and E, which play a number of key roles in the body and help maintain all-round health and vitality. Minerals such as zinc and selenium, plus B-complex vitamins may help maintain healthy growth, the immune system and energy release.
Recent research has also shown that optimum dietary levels of vitamin D3 may be higher than previously thought. The new formula provides an efficient level of 800IU (20mcg) of the preferred D3 form.
Health research shows that even a short period of strict ‘dieting’ during early teens can lead to low bone density, which causes weak bones in later life.
Between the ages of 12-17, up to 90 per cent of adult bone mass is laid down, so this is not a time to limit the intake of calcium, vitamin D or vitamin C, all of which are essential to maintain bone growth.
Since it is not possible to include the right amount of calcium in one tablet, Well Teen Plus has been designed so that it can be taken alongside Vitabiotics Osteocare.
Scientific studies have shown that Omega-3 fatty acids may help maintain a healthy brain function and vision. Fish oils are the best source of Omega-3 DHA and EPA.
Iron and zinc play a role in helping to maintain healthy brain function not only in adults but young people of all ages.
Well Teen Plus has been specifically formulated to provide a comprehensive range of micronutrients, vitamins, minerals and Omega-3 to help support the daily nutritional requirements of young adults, and is also ideal for teenagers aged 13-19.
One tablet and one Omega-3 capsule should be taken daily preferably with or immediately after a main meal, with a full glass of water or a cold drink.
