Should a 14 year old boy be taking creatine? What are some of the side effects of creatine?

Q:

A: Creatine is one of the most widely used dietary supplements for bodybuilding and sportsmen. It is an amino acid required by your body. CREATINE IS NOT PROTEIN but even if it was, thhsame principals would apply with respect to age.What it does is that it volumises your muscles.. that is.. it fills them with blood. When you exercise your muscles engorge with blood so that they have enough energy to do their job. When you take creatine you do get thirsty.. by reason that the blood in your body increases in volume. This extra volume of blood brings oxegen to the muscles so that they can perform better. In bodybuilding, by reason that you can increase your maximum lift, your muscle size increases accordingly. The voluminsation of the muscles also help this process by increaseing the supply of nutrients in the muscle via the increaed blood supply.When you stop taking creatine the volume subsides but any residual muscle growth remains. Bodybuilders use creatine while bulking up bot not during the period of time where they are preparing for competition… this by reason that they want lean muscle for competitions not the training volumised muscles.Not sure what you son is after. Sportsmen use creatine to help build muscle. Using it above recommended dosages has side effects, kidney failure is one that comes to mind, for example. Stick to the labelled instructions. In my experience most manufacturers recommend that the product is fit for persons 15 and over.. this is because the dosage is designed for adult sized peole and guessing the size of 15 year olds are unrpedictable… but read the label.. it will tell you.
