LifePak Teen is Pharmanex’ new addition to the LifePak line, and it is designed for boys and girls between the ages of 9 and 18. LifePak Teen fills the needs between our Kid’s chewable, which is Jungamals, and our regular LifePak products.

3. Nutrition A balanced, normal diet
supplies a sufficient amount of vitamins
ensures meeting all nutrient recommendations
Let’s talk about teenage nutrition for a minute: The teen years are not only a challenge for parents, but also have nutritionists worrying. The rapid growth and maturation create high nutritional demands. At the same time, teens have notoriously poor eating habits, and this usually results in numerous nutritional deficits that can impair healthy growth and development.
Let’s take a look at the most important nutritional demands of teenagers.

4. The Nutrition Dilemma:
* USDA National Food Consumption Survey
** USDA National Food Consumption Survey
In a survey of 21,500 people*,
not a single person consumed a 100% of RDA for the most important nutrients!
Over 70% of people
did not even meet 2/3rds of RDA for one or more nutrients.**

6. Food Pyramid
However, in reality, this is how most teens eat: Lots of empty calories at the top of the food pyramid, and too few fruits, vegetables, dairy and meats, resulting in many nutritional deficits.

7. High Demands, Low Supply
Most adults and adolescents don’t meet nutrition recommendations (USDA food pyramid).
Unbalanced diets
too much fat & sugar from fast foods & sodas,
extreme dieting habits
Lack of concern about diet & health

9. Nutrient deficiencies
*USDA CSFII
Survey Data
% of Year-Olds Not Meeting RDA
Over 60% of teenage boys and 80% of girls don’t meet the Recommended Dietary Allowance for the 2 most important bone nutrients calcium and magnesium.

10. Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA)
Definition: “Intake level of essential nutrients judged to be adequate to meet the needs of practically all healthy persons.”
RDAs have a safety margin: Less than 2/3rds of RDA = “nutrient deficiency”

12. Are RDAs adequate? RDAs do not consider optimum intakes.
Vitamin E: IU RDA: IU
Vitamin C: mg RDA: 60 mg
Carotenoids: no RDAs
Flavonoids: no RDAs

13. Why Use Supplements? To meet the RDAs, to stay healthy
To support general well-being, e.g., physical and mental performance
