A member asked:

Is it ok for a 17 year old guy to take creatine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Creatine supplementation is probably safe, though the effect on muscle mass and athletic performance is questionable. If you do decide to take it, buy a reputable brand to avoid contamination concerns and drink plenty of water
