5 Important Supplements for Teens

Teenagers have a lot on their plates—and it doesn’t often include the most nutritious food choices. Between the demands of school, busy sports schedules, and packed social calendars, you may be looking for ways to support your teen’s overall health. High-quality supplements, backed by science, can help your teenager fill in the gaps of a less than stellar diet and routine. Lead them to these supplements to help support their overall health and wellness.*

Clinical Essentials
First on the list, and most important, is a foundational formula: Clinical Essentials Multi-Vitamin & Minerals. This powerful multivitamin delivers premium nutrients to support healthy energy levels, immune function, and overall health. If your teenagers take any kind of supplement, get them on a multi-vitamin formula first to give them a solid foundation of health to build upon. Clinical Essentials provides 30 premium nutrients to help fill the nutritional gaps in a less-than-perfect diet to support overall health and well-being.*

AnxioCalm®
AnxioCalm – LEARN MOREThis award-winning botanical deserves a place in everyone’s home for its clinically studied ability to relieve occasional anxiety and stress—fast!* Teenagers are navigating a tumultuous time in life, and many can benefit from this safe, effective way to calm their nerves, relieve occasional excessive worry, and feel relaxed, calm, and confident, no matter what comes their way. AnxioCalm is safe for everyday use but is also fast acting to relieve stress and anxiety quickly, like before a big test or important speech.^ This tiny, easy-to-swallow tablet may be your teenager’s go-to for anytime they’re dealing with the occasional nervous flutter of butterflies in their stomach, occasional sleepless nights, or occasional feelings of self-doubt or insecurity.* Try AnxioCalm to help make the teenage years more relaxed and enjoyable for the people you love!*



Acne Essentials™*†
It’s no secret occasional acne likes to pop up during the teenage years. Everyday toxins, occasional stress, and poor diets can cause even the best skin to breakout, which means it’s important to fight acne from the inside out! Acne Essentials is a unique combination of powerful nutrients that protects against the oxidative stress and toxins that cause occasional breakouts.*† Taken daily, this unique formula promotes clear, healthy skin, improves skin’s natural defenses, and stops occasional acne before it starts.*†


Vectomega®
Did you know approximately 60% of the human brain is composed of fat? This means it’s vital to get a steady supply of essential fatty acids in the diet to support optimal brain function. Vectomega is a revolutionary, one-a-day dose of omega-3 fatty acids that delivers benefits far beyond those of krill or fish oil. When your teenager takes Vectomega daily, they get an important dose of omega-3s, plus peptides and phospholipids, which are some of the most brain-friendly nutrients available. The bioactive peptides, sourced from North Atlantic salmon, are especially vital for supporting a healthy mood, focus, and balanced neurotransmitter levels. (Added bonus: Vectomega supports optimal eye health, which is crucial for teenagers in this age of digital eye strain!)*



Zinc Plus Selenium (and Propolis)
Teens are known to burn the candle at both ends, which means supporting immune health is crucial at this age. In addition to eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and getting plenty of quality sleep, the right nutrients can help support healthy immune system function for teenagers. Important nutrients to add to your teen’s daily immune regimen include zinc and selenium. Zinc Plus Selenium delivers highly absorbable forms of these minerals to support upper respiratory health, healthy lung capacity, and protection from oxidative stress.* (In fact, some scientific evidence suggests that consumption of selenium may even reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer. However, FDA has determined that this evidence is limited and not conclusive.) Another powerful immune product for teenagers is Propolis Extract, which supports respiratory, ear, and throat health.*

As a parent, you want to make sure you’re doing all you can to help your teen get everything they need to stay healthy. The above list is a great place to start!*
