Vitamins are vital elements for the human body, which help it to carry out metabolic processes, the correct operation of various systems and their components.

For adolescents, whose body is intensively growing and developing, and the brain is actively working at school and in the sections they attend, it is especially important to get the daily intake of nutrients. That is why parents often think about purchasing additional sources of vitamins - special complexes designed to support the child's health during this difficult period.

Classification

Modern pharmaceuticals offer a wide range of drugs. They all differ from each other in composition, properties and cost. In this regard, choosing the right tool can be problematic.

All drugs are divided into the following categories in terms of composition:

• Monovitamins. The peculiarities of these funds lies in the fact that they contain only one active ingredient and are aimed at treating or preventing a deficiency of a particular substance.
• Multivitamins. Unlike the previous type, they include a combination of several elements.
• Vitamin and mineral complexes. The main feature of the preparations is the presence of minerals. As a rule, this is a complete set of nutrients necessary for normal life.

There are various forms of vitamin products release.

The following types are often found in pharmacies:

• tablets (for swallowing or resorption);
• lollipops;
• chewable lozenges;
• effervescent tablets;
• syrups;
• gummy figurines.

It is also worth understanding that all drugs that help maintain the concentration of nutrients in the body at the desired level are biologically active additives.

They cannot claim the title of full-fledged drugs and replace them. In case of diseases caused by vitamin deficiency, it is necessary to consult a doctor to prescribe effective therapy and not to self-medicate.

13 years old

At this age, the restructuring of various systems continues. The hormones responsible for the development of the body are actively produced. At the same time, the process of growing up is uneven, which is why outwardly adolescents look awkward. The same situation occurs inside the body: everything that is childish is gradually replaced by an adult.
