To give adolescent girls the special nutritional support they need, Doctor's Choice for Female Teens™ includes additional calcium, silica, vitamin B6, and iron.
May reduce the risk of osteoporosis. High-risk groups for osteoporosis include teen and young adult females, most especially White and Asian women, menopausal women and older men and women. A lifetime of regular exercise and healthy diet that includes calcium, builds and maintains good bone health and may reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life. Daily intakes above 2,000 mg are not likely to provide any additional benefit to bone health.
Silica is one of calcium's key co-factors.
Vitamin B6 is involved in some of the hormonal processes of the menstrual cycle. In addition, rising estrogen levels in teenage girls change the way their bodies handle vitamin B6, which increases their requirement for it.
Iron deficiency can be a problem for teenage girls because they lose iron every month during their menstrual cycles.
