How young can you start creatine…

Get him the original JACK3D formula from 15 years ago which is now discontinued. He’ll be lifting more than you, driving without a license, and hanging out with women your age.

Except he plays soccer

OP, 15 years old is fine. When I was in HS most athletes were taking it. Just make sure he stays hydrated

But if he's super skinny creatine isn't going to fix that. At his age and activity level he needs to be eating a ton

It’s not going to make him jacked or gain weight, but there is little to no downside to creatine. Lots of evidence that everyone benefits from it, even without lifting.

If you want him to gain muscle, he needs to be eating a lot of high protein whole food. Supplementing with protein powder/shakes is fine depending on goals, not really necessary but can help a lot with getting some protein on the go in the morning. Fairlife shakes are awesome for this.

You take two scoops in the morning and forget.

At approximately 3 1/2 years of age, or 3.50.

I give my 6 yr old 1.5g a day of creapure gummies. Research on benefits in kids as young as 12 months. All cognitive benefits is what I do it for. Don’t care as much about the physical benefits at this age

777 - question…. Son(14) taking creatine powder , hates the taste, etc…

Wife came home with com Crete hcl gummies…:

Serving size says 3 gummies, which is only .75 g of creatine…. Shouldn’t he be taking about 5 g per
Day?

What do you mean by ”program?”

Strength & conditioning program. You said he was hitting the gym with you this summer

Oh sorry lol

I thought you meant creatine program

He basically just does a full body workout… squats, bench, lat pulldowns/pullups, leg extensions, calf raises, shoulder lateral raises, and bis/tris

Does 10 reps +/- 2 per set, 3-4 sets per exercise

3 days per week

get him on an actual program, stop randomly having him do something

at 14, i highly suggest the bedrock program from power athlete on trainherioc. its a linear progression program, but it is 6 days per week.

if he can not do that then I suggest doing starting strength or stronglifts. Stronglifts has an app and very simple to follow

he is a novice, he needs to do a novice linear progression. It doesnt sound like you are real knowledgable so keep it simple. Do bedrock or stronglifts and add ~5-8 10 yard sprints on off days and DB jumps with 5/10/15 lbs DBs before every lifting session.

what you are doing is dumb in terms of novice. If he wants to do more than the program says, add chip ups daily.

Ok cool. Yea that’s what we have been doing. Just the gummies would be so much easier, then can use the protein powder when he drinks the smoothies

So the 4-6 gummies is equivalent of the 5mg powder, correct?

And appreciate your help…
