they will have someone there to help out with your questions...



They have a specific product called the body rox that is specifically designed for teens. It has all the essential nutrient you need for a growing body.


Let me know what you think, I love feedback...And I can answer all questions...



Thanks,

michelle

so if there is truth behind that then...

I can take the amount listed *25% (or /4)
and approx. What the actually amount is
so I shouldnt have to worry at all about what listed being too much or anything
right?

I wouldn't guarantee anything...You really have to research the brand of vitamin that you are using...You have to find out what it really contains...
I know that usana is graded and tested monthly...So I trust it...

You can see online what they put in their body rox formula, under their nutritionals...That will give you a good guideline what someone your age should be consuming...

So look under products, then hit nutritionals..And then look for their content...It wil list everything...If not, email them..And they will tell you exactly what is in their body rox...That is the vit designed for teens...

As for other companies...I don't know what they contain...All I know is that if they are not willing to give you the full details..They're hiding something...

Hope this helps...

Just a note of caution, that seems like a lot of vitamins and minerals for a 12 year old boy, especially the vanadium and a few others, vanadium is used for diabetics. Please do your homework and research vitamins for your age. I personally don,t take artificial vitamins, I order whole food vitamins from a doctor, they are called phytonutrients, much of what is in an artificial vitamin passes right through your body without doing much good.

gram is correct the all natural products are far better and a much greater value since you get more benefit from them

Vitamins etc are only needed if you're not getting enough from your food, or if your body doesn't metabolize what you eat (& it may still not metabolize what you take) or if you need extra due to health issues etc. So first I would suggest that you consider what you are actually getting from your food, what you are not getting, what your daily activity levels are & so what you need of vitamins & minerals etc plus what you need due to any health issues or stress etc.

It does seem though as if what you listed initailly was over the top.

As to natural versus synthetic arguments. Natural is usually best for anything but not always right for every individual or in every individual case as we are all different. Then too there are issues of cost vs effectiveness etc.

I suggest you research, talk to dr, family, rersearch & then start low as some supplements can do damage (also are you on any meds?) so by starting low & building up you can see when you reach a level that seems to be right for you.
