BEST AGE TO TAKE CREATINE

GOWAR Posts: 361 Joined: 2001/10/24	2003/10/11, 06:10 PM hey yall I'm 17 years old , and within 2 months football season will be over, i may wrestle or just continue to weight lift and do speed and a bunch of other stuff, i was wondering what all of you thought was the safest age and body development to begin using creatine. I dont want to mess anything up now or later, or if i should take it all, If it helps get stronger faster. Right now i take MEGA WHEY FROM GNC it contains 40 grams of protein , 5 grams of L Glutamine and 3 grams of BCAA every time i take it. thanks

There are a lot of mixed opinions on creatine. Some research indicates that it only helps people that have a nutritional deficiency. Besides, your body makes a certain amount for a reason. Just lift, eat, sleep, and enjoy working out. I have made my best gains by just having fun when I train.

Supplements is one of three product categories I never pay list for. GNC brand will still be too expensive online, but there are better alternatives.

When ordering from the internet, don't bother with dot-com's like GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, Met-rx, or any of those brandname-online sites, they'll over-charge you. -------------- OPINIONS ARE LIKE BUTTHOLES, EVERYONES GOT ONE.
