Wellteen Him Plus

Government surveys have indicated that teenager's diets can sometimes be low in certain nutrients such as iron, vitamin A and vitamin D. Many teenagers are also not eating the recommended 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day and so may not be getting all of the vital nutrients that their bodies need for long term health and development. Some foods may have a lower than expected nutritional content and be low in certain micronutrients as a result of several factors including modern farming practices, the lengthy storage of 'fresh' food before it is sold in some shops and over cooking which can cause certain nutrients to breakdown. It is important to promote a healthy diet and lifestyle and encourage positive eating and exercise habits for later in life. Food supplements are of course not a substitute for a healthy balanced diet.

Wellteen Him contains 28 tablets and 28 capsules per pack, take one tablet and capsule per day.

Take one tablet and one capsule daily preferably with or immediately after your main meal, with water or a cold drink. Taking the tablet and capsule with a large meal maximises the absorption of the nutrients, and can reduce mild nausea, which is sometimes experienced if multivitamins are taken on an empty stomach. Always ensure that Wellteen Him Plus is taken with plenty of liquid to wash the tablet down, and not hot tea or coffee as this may cause them to disintegrate too fast.

Wellteen Him Plus tablets have no known side-effects when taken as directed. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. In case of overdose, seek medical advice immediately. As with all supplements, seek professional advice before using if you are under medical supervision or suffer from any food allergies. Do not take if you are allergic to soya or fish.

Calcium is an essential mineral, and contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. However, it has not been included in the Wellteen Him Plus formula, as it is not possible to include the right amount in one tablet. Rather than including just a token amount of calcium, Wellteen Him Plus has been designed so that it can be taken alongside Vitabiotics' Osteocare. For more information, visit www.osteocare.com

Difficulty in swallowing tablets is quite a common experience. Vitabiotics have researched this extensively and recommend after chewing some food (e.g. banana), just before you swallow, pop the tablet into your mouth and swallow it together with the chewed food, followed by some liquid. The throat opens up wider to swallow the chewed food and so the tablet should go down with greater ease. Alternatively, the tablets may be swallowed with thicker liquids such as yoghurts or smoothies.

The key nutrients found in our Wellteen Him Plus product includes Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Niacin (Vitamin B3), Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Folic Acid, Biotin, Magnesium, Iron, Zinc, Copper and Selenium.

No, Wellteen Him Plus is not suitable for vegetarians as it contains fish oil in a pharmaceutical grade gelatin capsule. DHA and EPA can be obtained indirectly through the conversion of the essential fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), present in vegetable oils such as linseed but this process is very inefficient. Wellteen Him Plus contains fish oil as it provides a much more reliable, direct source of DHA and EPA.

Certain vitamins are very safe at levels tens or even hundreds of times the NRV, whereas for others the safety level is much closer to the NRV. For this reason every vitamin and mineral needs to considered on an individual basis in terms of its upper safe level.

The Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) is the amount of a vitamin or mineral which has been calculated to help prevent basic deficiency states in the general population. However, certain vitamins and minerals at optimal levels, above the NRV, have consistently been shown to have positive benefits in specific areas of health. This is why some Vitabiotics formulas have certain nutrient levels greater than 100% NRV.

All Vitabiotics products have been developed using the latest research and contain effective levels of vitamins and minerals, while avoiding any excessive amounts, in accordance with official upper safe limits for vitamins and minerals.

Vitabiotics avoids 'mega dose' levels of isolated nutrients and instead we have always stressed the importance of safe, moderate and sensible levels of vitamins and minerals, carefully balanced to maximise their combined effect; an approach which has been supported by many experts and researchers over the years.

Always read the product directions before use. Do not exceed the recommended intake. As with other food supplements seek professional advice before using if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or suffer from food allergies, and consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have an underlying medical condition, or if on medication. Vitamin supplements are not intended to treat or prevent any disease. Food supplements must not replace a balanced and varied diet, and a healthy lifestyle.

Each Wellteen Him Plus pack contains 28 days supply (4 weeks), we recommend subscribing to 1 pack every 4 weeks.
