Teens can sometimes have a lot on their plates, as they juggle school, part time jobs, and the changes that occur as part of maturing into an adult. The added pressures of social media can lead to worry and tension at times, so alongside open communication, you can support their nervous system with supplements and herbal extracts.

Growing teenagers have high nutritional requirements to meet the needs of their growth and development. See our range of Teen’s Daily Wellness & Energy supplements

• Probiotics can support the gut to facilitate neurotransmitter function, for healthy dopamine and serotonin levels.
• L-theanine can support mental clarity and focus.
