There’s not a lot of good studies on use under the age 18 (particularly with adolescents). We know creatine is healthy for adults to use, when used properly. It can frick up your kidneys if you’re overusing it (saw that happen to a football player I worked with as a trainer when creatine first got big) and a teenager using it should probably be supervised doing so.
Was this post made in 2004?

So you must show ID to purchase the most researched supplement on the planet, but not to vote?

Have they done long term studies on use in kids under 18?
I’m not a fan of creating regulations like in OP, because it’s lazy at best. But, I’m not letting my kid use a supplement without some research and supervision.

A long term effect like GAINZ?

Yes, but in addition to the studies, in practice teens have been talking creatine for decades and been fine

Oh, I am aware.
My post wasn’t in political jest. That is a real position that progressives hold.

All creatine does is open capillaries in the muscles to allow a more free flow of water, blood and nutrients to feed muscles with the body's own rebuilding minerals and proteins from your food diet after a workout creates tiny microscopic tears in stretched muscles to help them rebuild and grow.
Studies are showing it has far more health benefits than this. The benefits on the brain are astounding. If you are not taking creatine daily for the brain benefits you really should be looking at the published literature that is coming out. Cognitive performance outcomes of people on creatine are remarkable.

Do you serve any red meat in your house?
~2 grams of creatine in 1lb of red meat.

I’m only finding short term studies.

Nah. We limited both of those with the step-kid growing up.

it sounds like it got caught up in the effort to reduce issues with shitty supplements. And an age verification was probably easier to institute than regulation standards for supplements. Especially when you consider how much money the “health and wellness” folks generate in California.
It took almost 1 full page before an astute response showed up. This!!

now Cali kids will have to make runs to Mexico to get their creatine. Theyll be able to smuggle it in legally as long as they bring 3 new Dem voters with them.

Thank you. All these people buying creatine blows my mind. Just eat 5 lbs of red meat a day and the problem takes care of itself.

I'm nearing the age that is becoming a concern. When you have aunts and uncles beginning to lose their way to the bathroom, it becomes concerning.
Ironically, I just ordered some from Amazon last night.

WTF. Just WTF

Age restriction to buy creatine but no age restriction for a minor to have a sex change operation. Typical leftist logic, never change California

I giggle at anti vaxxers who take any/all supplements that exist in Wild West of marketing, production and distribution guidelines (not FDA).
Politics and biceps = oil and water!
As for creatine, well researched and large sample size of time in use and valid study, it has many benefits. But when in doubt, eat a good diet and move that body daily!

So you think its worth it to pay someone to supervise teens to monitor their creatine intake? Does age verification really make any of this safer in reality?

I've been taking it for a year while I was actively working on losing weight, running and gym time. I'm in the thick middle of playing general contractor on my home remodeling and acting as sub/handyman on most of it. Plus taking care of my pool (just finished a SLAM in pool terms. Took me nearly three weeks to put my pool water in the clearest, cleanest it's been in years. 
) yard work and new landscaping, plus starting to install Christmas lights so when my wife returns from a trip for a week with her parents, the yard will be done. I've got so much under construction right now that I doubt thatwe decorate inside for Christmas, this year.
Anyway, the creatine adds between 4-5 pounds of water weight gain, and I stopped using it while I'm away from running and the gym for awhile. As soon as I finish up some of these projects I'm back in the gym and I'll be back on creatine. However, if I knew for sure that the cognitive improvements are there to be gained, it might be worth holding extra water for awhile.
