Question

Is it ok to take flinstone vitimins if your a teenager?

Answer 1

Yes, it's okay.  

I have three children and will usually pop one in my mouth whenever getting them for the kids.  Just remember that the balance of vitamins and minerals in them is catered to younger children, so it may not have everything your body will need.  

Even more importantly, remember that if you are maintaining a good, balanced diet, you have no need for supplements in the first place - unless you are experiencing some unusual health issues (i.e... fatigue).  If that's the case, you should probably find out from a practitioner if you have a deficiency and how to take care of it.

Answer 2

Why not?  They probably don't contain as many vitamins as an adult supplement, but if you are more likely to take one, then why not?

Besides, there is little evidence of vitamin supplements doing a whole heck of a lot for your well being anyhow.

Answer 3

yeah pregnant women take them

Answer 4

it would be much better for you to eat a well-balanced nutritional diet!  and to avoid alcohol, red meats and processed foods (which can prevent the absorption of some vitamins).
