Teen Dietary Supplements

A common perception amongst consumers is that “dietary supplements are for active people only.” While that perception is very far from accurate, it does carry some weight in that active people burn more calories and utilize more nutrients through physical and mental exertion than sedentary people do. That being said, in order to refuel their bodies, active people must either eat more healthy foods or supplement their diets with nutritional supplement products.

Teenagers are one of the most physically active demographics in America. Leading very active lifestyles based on youth sports such as football, basketball, soccer, baseball, tennis, gymnastics, etc.  All of this exercise and calorie burning requires more dietary replenishment. If nutrients are not put back into teenagers’ bodies in a timely manner following exercise, proper recovery will not take place and various aspects of growth and development may be hindered.

Nutrition is a serious issue that parents need to impress upon their children. Kids may not want to talk about building strong bones and eating well now in hopes of preventing disease later in life, but kids will likely respond when they realize athletic performance can be drastically affected by optimal nutrition.

One nutritional supplement product that takes the guesswork out of choosing a well-balanced, nutrient-rich snack is APC ACTIVE PROTEIN COMPLEX™ Teen Shakes. This product was carefully engineered to include a unique combination of 100% whey protein for building muscle and assisting recovery along with various carbohydrates to replenish energy stores. Additionally, one serving of APC ACTIVE PROTEIN COMPLEX™ Teen Shakes has _50% of your child’s daily value for calcium, which will help strengthen growing bones during the times that they need it most. Another vitally important nutrient for bone growth is magnesium. That is precisely why just one serving of APC ACTIVE PROTEIN COMPLEX™ Teen Shakes contains _44% of your child’s daily value for magnesium and 21% of your child’s daily value for potassium. Potassium is important because it plays a major role in regulating normal blood pressure levels and helps to counterbalance the excessive levels of sodium in Americans’ diets. Yet another nutrient that APC ACTIVE PROTEIN COMPLEX™ Teen Shakes is infused with is fiber. American’s diets are notoriously low in dietary fiber and teenagers may have the lowest intake of us all. Dietary fiber has a long list of health benefits including protective effects against cardiovascular disease and assistance with optimal digestion. APC ACTIVE PROTEIN COMPLEX™ Teen Shakes provides _8_% of your child’s daily value for fiber.
