There are basic vitamins all girls need. Unfortunately, young women π and teens often don't realize the importance of nutrition until after passing through this critical stage in their lives. But the truth is, our diets, which consist of sweets and junk food π‘ more often than not, don't contain the nutrients young bodies crave. If changing your eating habits is too difficult right βοΈ now, try these vitamins and supplements to feel, look, and live healthier!
1 Look π Cute
Probably one 1οΈβ£ of the bigger concerns within this demographic is looking cute! But did you know there's a pill π for that? It's not a plastic surgery or makeup π pillβalthough we may be headed that way!βbut it's a vitamin π called biotin that will help your hair, skin, and nails look π better the more you take π¬ it consistently! It's one 1οΈβ£ of my personal π favorite vitamins, especially for young women π and teens.
2 Feel Great
Looking cute π° is fun and all, but what's more important is feeling great! You might not realize how great π your body could feel if you treated it properly by giving it all the proper nutrients it needs. B Vitamins will help you with that, especially if you're experimenting with vegetarianism as many high school π« and college-aged women π do for the first 1οΈβ£ time. Taking a vitamin π B complex (which includes B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12 ) should help you regenerate cells faster, avoid serious illness in the future, and feel more energetic.
Vitamin D is especially important to women, and it's better to start sooner than later. This vitamin π helps prevent breast and ovarian cancer. Do you really want to live in fear of cancer β taking your life π± when you know you could have done something to prevent it? Definitely not! It might take π¬ just one 1οΈβ£ more vitamin π per day π to live longer.
5 Be Smarter
If you're a student, I'm sure you'd love π» to be smarter! What if there was a totally legal, totally natural, even healthy π way to do that? Lucky π° for you, there is if you take π¬ Omega-3 supplements. Not only have studies shown that Omega-3 decreases chances of Alzheimer's disease and dementia and improves mental functioning for people πΈ with dyslexia and ADHD, they've also proven that it helps the average girl π§π» process information π faster. The neurological studies about it are beyond me, but you can read π more about how it all works here: bengreenfieldfitness.com
A bad habit a lot of teens have yet to kick is drinking π· soda. Even if it's low fat, zero 0οΈβ£ carb, zilch calorie whatever, it still isn't good π for you! It's filled with phosphate which lowers your calcium levels as your phosphate levels increase. Once you stop β drinking π· soda and start taking calcium supplements, you may be able to grow π± that extra inch you've been trying to gain since middle school!
Don't wait until you're 40 to start taking vitamins and supplements! Then you'll just be playing catch π£ up. Focus on π your health π and happiness π now, and you'll live a much better life π currently as well π as in the future! What other vitamins and supplements do you recommend for teenagers and young women?

Tedi I disagree with vitamin c not making colds go away faster. The last time I got a cold I just drank half a glass of pure lemon juice and the cold was gone the next day. Even tho itβs sour, I highly recommend

Alyx DO NOT TAKE ANY OF THESE OR ANY PILL WITHOUT A BLOOD TEST DONE. Taking biotin or any pills without taking a blood test to see if your deficient is incredibly dangerous. If you're on even a semi healthy diet you're most likely getting enough biotin from your food or from a daily multivitamin. As someone who has overdosed on biotin when I was younger, please do not just go out and take pills. Just because they're sold in stores does not mean you should take them without consulting a doctor. Taking any vitamins, especially biotin can lead to very bad side effects that defeat the point of taking them fit nice hair like hair loss, hair dryness, nail weakness, skin issues like permanent breakouts, dehydration etc, not to mention the lethal ones like kidney failure, liver failure, heart palpitations and more. This is mild cases, just on biotin. Don't take pills unless you know your deficient by taking a blood test.
