How It Works
Ensuring teenage girls eat a balanced diet can be challenging,
so it’s hard to know if they’re getting all they need during these
critical years through puberty and beyond when their bodies &
minds are still developing.
Blackmores Teen Multi for Girls contains a blend of 5 essential
brain nutrients, as well as providing general vitamins and
minerals to help girls reach their full potential and have healthy
bodies.
The five essential brain nutrients include:
Iodine: many teenagers have low levels of iodine, a nutrient that
may support optimal intellectual development and function.
Iodine deficiency in children and adolescents is associated with
poorer school performance, reduced achievement and IQ

Iodine deficiency in children and adolescents is associated with

Omega-3 fatty acids: omega-3 fatty acids are essential for
growth and development for all stages of life. The benefits of
omega-3s are many including support of optimal brain
development.

Iron: many teenager girls do not consume an adequate amount
of iron. Iron is an essential brain nutrient associated with normal
memory, attention, learning, alertness, reasoning and cognition.
An iron deficiency during adolescence may be associated with
reduced work capacity and a less efficient response to exercise.
Adolescent girls may be at risk of developing iron deficiency as
a consequence of the combined effects of continued growth,
menstrual iron losses and a low intake of iron.


Zinc: many girls also consume less that the recommended daily
intake of zinc. Zinc is an important nutrient needed for normal
brain development. It is associated with normal cognitive
functioning, attention and memory. Zinc is also important for
immune function, cell growth and repair. Long term effects of
mild zinc deficiency include delayed wound healing, and
impaired immune function.

Vitamin B12: another important brain development nutrient for
optimal cognitive functioning and reasoning. It is required for
the normal function of all cells and for the metabolism of
carbohydrates.
