creatine for teens?

Question

how bad is it for teens

Answer 1

im 16 and i take it, it helps your overall muscle mass, right now im taking creatine monohydrate, GNC mega men sport multivitamins, and muscle milk everday. But creatine just helps muscle growth, it opens up ur circulation so more water can get to your muscles, so when taking creatine u need to drink lots of water... and if ur trying to get big , u need to lift heavy weights for the creatine to take full effect and make u ripped, but if ur younger than me i wouldnt recommend lifting to much weight.

Answer 2

Im 13 and I been searching around for the same answer. I am pretty strong for my age benching around 170. In all my looking around and searching the web the only things I found were
1) Your body is still growing you don't need it.
2) It will hurt your kindeys.
3) Teens will be more prone to use higher powered supplements such as anabolic steroids.
4) There is not enough research done on it to know of any severe side effects
5) A bunch of other dependency, acne, etc.

Through all my research I found nothing with enough evidence that it is bad for teenagers. You're still growing... I understand that as being as you get at a heavier weight your body may not be ready to handle that so you get injured but, as long as you practice safe weight training techniques. As for hurting your kidneys, it would do that for anyone not taking the supplement correctly. Just drink water in excess. When ever you feel thirsty drink.
After two months of research and hearing experiences from friends I tried it. Muscle Tech Cell-Tech. I had great results. My bench is now 190 i am faster, and stronger then ever before. From my experiences the only side effects I had were minor headaches and bloating.

Just remember that you want to take breaks in between.
1st week - Loading stage 20g/day
2-4 week - Maintenance stage 5-10g/day
5-6 week - Off

Repeat

This will make sure your liver will produce natural creatine phosphate. It will give your kidneys a chance to produce adenosine tryphosphate (ATP).

Answer 3

Creatine is a naturally occuring compound found in meat. Of course it is safe for teens, unless eating meat is a dangerous business for you. Creatine does not directly cause or induce muscle growth. Used correctly it enables more intensive and longer, short burst type training.

Answer 4

There is no reason to take those kinds of supplements as a child. Your body is still growing and there is no reason why you need them.

Stick with eating right, drinking lots of water and taking a high quality multivitamin.

By taking those performance supplements now, it can really screw your body up later on in life when you stop taking them. Your body gets used to having them and not having to make them. So when you stop taking them your body goes through withdrawals.

Think of your health for when you get older.
