Body Rox

Nutrition plays a critical role in everyone’s health, but good nutrition is especially important during adolescence and the teenage years of growth, development and physical maturation. With their active lifestyles and growing bodies, adolescents need advanced levels of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to achieve and maintain optimal health.

Teenagers’ busy lifestyles almost inevitably lead to irregular eating habits - missing meals and binging on junk food - which may cause serious dietary deficiencies. The fast food that teenagers love to eat tends to be high in calories, fat and sodium, but low in fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

Teenagers need to follow a balanced nutritional plan that may need to include vitamin and mineral supplementation. Based on USANA’s formula for adults, Body Rox is specially formulated to help meet the nutritional needs of growing adolescents. When combined with balanced meals, Body Rox helps provide essential nutrients needed during adolescence and young adulthood, setting the stage for lifelong health.

Antioxidants

An important - and sometimes primary - function of certain vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin E and selenium, is to protect cells from free-radical damage. The body produces antioxidants to counteract this damage, but today’s environmental pollutants can create more free radicals than the active teenage body can handle. This situation can be compounded for active young individuals, whose increased use of oxygen can further increase oxidative stress. Body Rox provides a potent combination of antioxidants, with the “Phyto-Antioxidant Complex” including grape seed extract, green tea extract, olive fruit extract, quercetin and Meriva curcumin, together with lutein and lycopene that help young bodies maintain ideal health.

Vitamins

Body Rox contains balanced amounts of essential vitamins and cofactors that young people need. Beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, is important for vision and healthy skin. Adolescents need B vitamins in advanced amounts to meet the extra demands of growth, energy metabolism and muscle tissue development. Vitamin D is essential for calcium uptake and utilisation, and vitamin K is important in preventing blood clotting. Vitamin C plays an important role in the formation of collagen in bones, cartilage, muscle and blood vessels, which helps to support joint and skin health during adolescent years. During this critical developmental stage, vitamins and antioxidants supplementation is often necessary to compensate for erratic eating patterns and the lack of fresh fruit and vegetables in their diet.

Minerals

Body Rox contains a balance of essential minerals in bioavailable forms that play key roles in maintaining optimal health. For example, calcium assimilation during the developing years is essential for bone health later in life. Zinc is vital for normal growth and development, immune function, sexual maturation and reproduction. Iodine is critical for the synthesis of thyroid hormones required for the growth and development of the central nervous system. It also helps maintain the body’s normal energy production and basal metabolic rate. Selenium functions as an antioxidant and chromium helps in the maintenance of normal healthy glucose metabolism and blood glucose level.

Why Body Rox?

USANA used sound principles of nutrition to develop Body Rox, which provides essential antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and cofactors in an easy-to-swallow tablet and with a vegetarian-safe formulation. USANA’s goal was to combine a broad range of nutrients with the highest possible purity and potency of ingredients - and to keep the formulation at an affordable price.
