Can a 15-year-old boy take A to Z Amino Tablet? He often feels very tired and drained after about 45 minutes of exercise. If this is not suitable, could you please recommend a safe multivitamin for a 15-year-old boy?

A 15-year-old boy should not take A to Z Amino Tablet without a doctor’s advice. This supplement is generally intended for adults and may contain higher doses of vitamins, minerals and amino acids than needed for teenagers. Taking it without guidance will not always improve energy and may sometimes place unnecessary strain on the body. Feeling very tired after about 45 minutes of exercise may be due to several common reasons, such as a low fitness level, poor sleep, dehydration, low iron levels, a vitamin deficiency, or not eating enough balanced meals. These should be assessed by a doctor before starting any supplement. For teenagers, a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, milk, eggs, pulses and whole grains is more important than strong supplements. If a multivitamin is needed, it is better to choose one specifically formulated for children or teenagers aged 12 to 18 years, containing the recommended daily amounts of vitamins and minerals. It is best to consult a doctor for a basic check-up if tiredness persists.

I am underweight and want to gain muscle. Can I take amino acid supplements for muscle gain?
Dr. S Aneela

If you are underweight and want to gain muscle, a proper diet and strength training are more important than supplements alone. Amino acid supplements may support muscle recovery, but they work best when your daily protein intake is adequate. Focus on regular meals with protein-rich foods and progressive resistance exercise. Consult a healthcare professional before starting supplements to ensure they are suitable for you.
