Hey guys, quick question. I know I'll get the best answer here. My son is almost 17 he has been to the gym with me for the last 3 summers. He wants to go full time now. Is it ok for him to take creatine , bcaa's and protein shakes or should I stay clear of any of those because of his age. I know I took that stuff plus more back then but I didn't have anyone to guide me besides my friends. Any thoughts or answers will be appreciated. Thanks!

He is good on the multi due to low iron. I've never let him take anything yet but I figured he was good for creatine now for his age. Thanks gymjunkie!

Anything that is only a derivative of the food he eats is fine

Creatine is just an amino acid found in beef

If he has an iron deficiency make a couple of his meals with spinach for the vegetable

We do. He takes iron pills. Plus we are very active and me and my wife go to the gym 6 days a week. All we eat is Whole Foods. So he eats good already and is pretty lean for being 6'3. The whey is going to add some size. I told him that we are going to start getting some creatine for him and he is going to start drinking whey for his post. He has already tried some previously and likes the taste (banana cream) so he will be off to a good start. Thanks for the info. I appreciate it!
