How safe is creatine for teens?

It's the most researched supplement. I've been using it for a couple of years, only positive experience.

It has nothing to do with your growth, if anything, it's going to increase your hgh indirectly from the energy you get from it and lifting heavy. You know it's a supplement, meaning you supplement it with healthy diet.

The myths about getting bald and other shit are just that, a myth. If you're genetically predisposed to be sensitive to DHT, it'll only going to increase the process. Don't take more than 5g a day, and drink water like your life depends on it.

So no worries.

I'm 17 and use creative. Have only seen positive effects. Help my circulation and blood flow.

Creatine is one of the most researched supplements out there.

The problem is that people don’t understand how it works, and they either use too much or don’t drink enough water because of that.

Don’t listen to these idiots OP. Creatine is dangerous it’s like heroin, you’ll get hooked and eventually try to find stronger and bigger doses. Eventually you’ll spend all your money on creatine and end up having to invest in knee pads like the little 17 year old bitch you are son.

Creatine did wonders for me when I was on it. Did a loading phase and then took regular dosage. I took creatine and had more progress and looked thicker in my first 3 months of lifting again than when I lifted without. Only issue for me was that I'm sensitive to DHT and it caused me to lose hair. So I had to stop. As long as you aren't losing hairs, by all means use it. Just drink a lot of water.

Personally I hated drinking so much water because I hate getting up in the middle of the night and pissing. I can't go back to sleep until I do.

creatine is garbage and doesnt do anything. and some studies even say it might increase prostate cancer and balding due to a slight increase in DHT.

dont even bother. just eat healthy dude. no supplement is going to be magic. dont waste your money.
