Why people keep reordering it
Best suited to: teenager who will not eat fish, growing fast on an inconsistent diet, gags on chalky tablets.
What the research supports
Two softgels a day build a teen multivitamin around vitamin D3 and 500 mg of fish oil. The bottle is 60 softgels, a month at that dose.
A teen multivitamin is built at gap-filling amounts rather than research doses. The 800 IU of vitamin D3 is the one that matters most through a Canadian winter.
- Bone development (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trial, review)
- Vitamin D lets the gut absorb calcium, the mineral bone is built from, and the teenage years lay down bone faster than any other point in life.
- Immunity (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trial, review)
- Zinc is required for immune cells to divide and respond properly, and the 8 mg here sits just under the daily amount a teenage boy needs.
- Growth (evidence: strong, from )
- Methylfolate is the body's ready-to-use form of folate, needed directly for the rapid cell division that drives a teenage growth spurt. This softgel provides 400 mcg, a teen's full daily requirement in that form.

Is it right for you
Worth it if
- Teenager who will not eat fish
- 500 mg of fish oil is built into the softgel, which is more EPA and DHA than a chewable or gummy teen multi can carry, because oil and gummies do not mix.
- Growing fast on an inconsistent diet
- 800 IU of D3, 400 mcg of methylfolate and 200 mcg of B12 cover the nutrients a diet built on convenience food misses first.
- Gags on chalky tablets
- Two small olive-oil softgels a day instead of a large pressed tablet, with blueberry extract in the fill to keep it from tasting of fish.
Look elsewhere if
- A vegetarian teenager
- The shell is gelatin and the fill contains anchovy, sardine and mackerel oil. A vegetarian teen multivitamin plus algal DHA covers the same ground.
- Counting on it for calcium and magnesium
- 125 mg of calcium and 62.5 mg of magnesium oxide are token amounts against requirements of 1300 mg and 240 to 410 mg. Food sources, or a separate calcium with magnesium bisglycinate.
- A child under 12
- The directions start at 12, and 3600 IU of preformed vitamin A is a real share of the upper limit for a 9 to 13 year old. Use a multivitamin formulated for children instead.
What to expect
Nothing dramatic, and nobody should promise otherwise. If a teenager's diet is thin on fish, vegetables and dairy, the realistic payoff is closing gaps over months. Take both softgels with a meal, since fish oil on an empty stomach is what causes repeat. 60 softgels at two a day is a 30 day bottle.
How it compares
- Compared with a teen gummy multivitamin
- Gummies almost never carry iron or fish oil, because neither survives the format. This has 5 mg of iron, 8 mg of zinc and 500 mg of fish oil in the same daily dose. The tradeoff: Two softgels a day is a harder sell to a 13 year old than something that tastes like candy, and 60 softgels at two a day is only a 30 day bottle.
- Compared with half an adult multivitamin
- Dosed for 12 to 18 from the start rather than split down from adult amounts, and it includes the omega-3 that adult multis leave out. The tradeoff: The adult formulas in this same line use magnesium bisglycinate and iron bisglycinate, where the teen version uses magnesium oxide and iron citrate.
