Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this teen guy formula include higher doses of zinc and niacin compared to other multivitamins?

Teenage boys have higher recommended daily intakes for certain nutrients, including zinc and niacin, compared to younger children and adult women. This formula is calibrated to reflect those increased adolescent male requirements, supporting normal immune function, energy metabolism, and healthy development during a period of rapid physical growth.

What are manganese and molybdenum, and why are they included?

Manganese is a trace mineral that supports normal bone formation and antioxidant enzyme function. Molybdenum is a trace mineral involved in normal enzyme activity related to amino acid metabolism. Both are essential nutrients that are frequently absent from standard teen multivitamins, and their inclusion reflects a more complete approach to adolescent male nutritional support.

Why does this formula use algal oil instead of fish oil for omega-3s?

The DHA and EPA in Teen Guy Plus Multi and Omegas are sourced from algal oil rather than fish oil. Algae is the original marine source of omega-3 fatty acids, and algal-sourced omega-3s provide the same DHA and EPA without the fishy aftertaste or concerns associated with fish-derived oils, making it a suitable option for teens who prefer to avoid fish-derived ingredients.

Why are lutein and zeaxanthin included in a teen multivitamin?

Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids that concentrate in the macula of the eye and support healthy visual function. Their inclusion reflects the growing recognition that adolescents, who often spend significant time on screens, may benefit from nutritional support for normal eye health as part of a comprehensive daily supplement.

How should Teen Guy Plus Multi and Omegas be taken?

Teenage boys should take 2 gummies daily. The formula may be taken with or without food. Do not exceed the recommended daily serving. Consult a health care provider before use if the teen has a medical condition, is on any medications, or has a medical procedure planned.
