[quote=Anonymous]I would encourage her to be vegetarian instead of vegan, if she isn’t dead set on eliminating all animal products for ethical reasons. 12-20ish is when girls are building their bone density for life. If they end up malnourished, they will have consequences in their 40+ I would question a teen’s ability and palate to be able to get enough calcium, vit D, and protein. While you can supplement vit D, calcium supplements are shown to have poor absorption and may be helpful at all. It is far better to get calcium from food sources. Is your daughter likely to eat several cups of kale, edamame, and broccoli per day? [/quote]
