what is the best supliment for a 16 or 17 year old kid? I go to the gym often or at least i have been but am in a slump because i lack motivation to do it right now. but i belong to balies and i try to get there as much as i can but it is hard because i work a lot. but if there is somehting that would give me the energy that i need to do it it would help a lot. By the way i am 5'10'' tall and 160.
i am looking to put on some muscle so i can look good and hang out with my boys that play football and not be looked at as the "little guy."-thanks for the help |

First and foremost, a multivitamin. Then I would say whey protein, then creatine. Next, glutamine. However, don't mix the creatine and glutamine, you'll waste it. The creatine and whey mixed together in a shake works well, especially for beginners.
I would recommend finding motivation and getting in there before supplementing though, its pointless to supplement if you don't get in to lift. I hope this helps a little. ![]() |

This is from what I've read. However, I also know some supplement companies sell a creatine/l-glutamine product, so maybe they know something I don't. Either way, with my money, I'd rather be safe than throw away the powders. |

You can be right, I remember reading something about a other product competing with creatine for the way they transport themselves. I donīt remember if it was glutamine though.
Yes a lot of products contain creatine and glutamine, remember that these companies are the ones that put creatine into liquid and make you drink creatinine. |

i am not exactally a beginer at lifting i have been lifting for 3 years or so. i have never been much into suppliments. i have always taken protein though and have tried creating and it didnt seem to help me that much. Someone said that it helps a lot if you take it with sugar but i havnt tried it yeat. The one thing is that i am not allowed to use creatine, if my parents knew that i did they would not be happy. so i try to stay away from it as much as possible but so far i have found it imposible to get anything that is that good without creatine in it.

I concur with Jersey Devil. If you are lacking energy at your age it is probably due to a poor diet (including soda) and lack of proper sleep. Learn all you can about eating right before bothering with anything more than a post-workout shake consisting of whey protein and carbohydrates (and water).

I eat as much as i can. every meal i eat as much as i can. i stay away from pop (soda) as much as posible. i drink a lot of water and try to get as much protein in my diet as posible. i know what is bad for me and i dont eat it and what is good for me i will eat it even if i dont like it (vegitables)
As for the creatine issue. Creatine is a waste product. taking creatine is like drinking concentrated urine. it can easily mess ur kidneys up if not used exactally right. And just because creatine is created naturally doesnt mean that you should supliment with it, assid is made naturaly but i wouldnt make a assid drink and drink it. THere is a lot more to that issue but that is just some of the reasons that my dad doesnt approve. |

Count calories and protein. Keep raising the amount of calories you eat until you see gains. Eat at least 6 to 8 times day. Food is the answer.
