Thread: supplements for a 14 year old

I think he is too young for supplements. Focus on ensuring he's eating a healthy, well balanced diet with lots of protein and he should get great results from that alone. Not only are supplements unnecessary for him at such a young age but you don't want to influence him psychologically from such a young age that he needs to be taking something to get the edge. Let him make his own decision to take supplements when he's old enough but I wouldn't push anything on him at all.

Right on ! His age and well being is the most important thing here. Food! Rest! and more food!!! He will grow with the right foods, and heal with rest.

what about fish oils and vitamins

vitamins are not needed if he has a balanced diet. he should take fish oils if his diet lacks omega 369's

chocolate milk after workouts/matches.

if he were lifting like i was when i was 14 i would say whey protein, bcaas but for wreslting nothing but a good diet and thats it nothing meaning nothing.

Milk steak chicken beef fish.. occasional pasta. And ah, thst there multivitamin. That's about it in my opinion honestly. If the team has a legitimate nutritionist, see what they have to say
