Answer 1

a good multivitamin is good for anyone.  find one that's formulated for teenagers.  OneSource makes one.  Wal Mart sells them.

Answer 2

Centrum is garbage.

There is a good liquid vitamin and mineral supplement.  check out the youtube video below for some basic education on your body's needs.

Answer 3

Centrum should be fine. It's just a multivitamin, so it should have most of the nutrients you need. For growing bones, make sure it has calcium. Iron and B vitamins are also important and can be hard to get the right amount of, especially if you're a vegetarian. However, vitamins should only be taken along with a healthy, varied diet, because by themselves they won't do much.  

Answer 4

try multivitamins they have all the essential vitamins you need.

Answer 5

Centrum and make sure you consume plenty of dairy products for or a calcium supplement.
