I asked this before there was some yes and nos I’m 13 and 95 pounds workout out everyday could I take 2.5 grams of creatine monohydrate - #15911
asked this before, and I remember there were a few mixed responses — some people said yes and some said no. I’m 13 years old, weigh about 95 pounds, and I work out every single day, so I wanted to ask again in a clearer way: would taking 2.5 grams of creatine monohydrate be appropriate for someone my age, weight, and activity level?

Doctors’ responses
Hello Cyrus,
Enough calories 1–1.2 g of protein per pound of body weight from food Sleep 8–10 hours At least 1–2 rest days per week
These will give you far better results than creatine at your age. TRUST YOURSELF 🛑You don’t need to rush into supplements👍
You’re training every day, you care about doing things safely,that already puts you way ahead of the curve.
Ok Cyrus, Stay healthy and hydrated Thank you
octors and sports-health experts do not recommend creatine for kids under 16 because:
Your body is still developing
Your kidneys are still maturing Dosage studies on young teens are very limited Nutrition alone gives almost the same benefits at your age So your parents are right to be cautious, and you’re right to look for safe alternatives
Hello Cyrus I appreciate your enthusiasm for fitness, but At 13, your body is still growing, and it’s best to focus on a balanced diet and proper training rather than supplements. Whole foods can provide all the nutrients you need to support your workouts and growth. Hope you’ll get it .
Thank you
