Vitamins for pre-teens?
I'm looking for a daily multivitamin for my 12yo.
He has always taken a multivitamin but I want to start him on ones made specifically for his age-group/boys & can't find any.
He eats a good diet so just the basic supplements will do. I prefer brands that are easy to find, like in most grocery store vitamin sections ;) but I'm interested in any good recommendations.
Thanks!

I know you would prefer easy shopping but I recommend you at least go talk to someone at a health food store. I have found them to be really knowledgeable. & keep in mind that if your son eats a healthy, well-rounded diet then multivitamins may not even be necessary for him.
You can also make a quick call to his pediatrician who should be able to easily advise you, & s/he can base it on your son’s health & growth history!

i would like to share some info with you about those vit. at the store. they are so unnutritous. they have all kinds of additives in them and most of the vits. are not absorbed into the body because they are not food form where your body can absorb them. i will give you a website to check out http://www.exploremannatech.com then get back in contact with me at jjwitter@verizon.net so we can chet more in detail and get more info to you.
