City Market's Teen Multivitamin
City Market Wellness dept. has added a Teen Multivitamin to our selection! It is an easy to remember, one-a-day formulation. The formula is tailored specifically to a teenager’s needs, and contains calcium in addition to bioflavonoids.
Nutrient needs during teen years are greater than adults, especially for those young people that experience growth spurts. To support the transition from a child’s body to that of a young adult – more nutrients during this part of their life are important. Eating a balanced diet is optimal, and asking your pediatrician specific questions about your child’s well-being is so important. Issues such as eating/attention disorders and teens participating in athletics cause a need for extra nutrition.
• Almost 80% of adolescent females do not get enough calcium.
• About 80% of high school students do not eat fruits and vegetables five or more times per day.
• Vitamin D deficiencies are common amongst adolescents - March 2009 review found that 1 in 7 adolescents (aged 12-17) were deficient.*
*Centers for Disease Control - November 2008 and March 2009
