To give adolescent girls the special nutritional support they need, Doctor's Choice for Female Teens™ includes additional calcium, silica, vitamin B6, and iron.
Calcium, along with exercise and a healthful diet, can help prevent osteoporosis later in life.
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.
