Hello forum, I'm 13 years old almost 14 and I started lifting weights about last year and started gyming quite a while ago ... I've been training and gaining muscle but very slowly. I wanted to get "whey protein" but my parents don't approve of it because it's not for my age, and I shouldn't take supplements... Is this true? If so do you think at my age I should start taking protein shakes such as "whey protein"?

Don't worry about supplements for quite some time (5+ years). Stick to whole foods only for now.

I started lifting when I was 13 too. I think whey protein supp's are pretty safe when used correctly, but it's really up to your parents to decide. You could have allergies, a health condition etc... we don't know about.
IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO LIFT IT, THEN YOU BETTER BOLT IT TO THE GROUND!!!

I don't have any allergies or problems like that etc.. But my parents just feel that I'm too young for that and it's unsafe.. But if this is not true...

hMM. WELL IN MY OPINION WHEY PROTEIN IS ONE OF THE 'SAFEST" SUPPLEMENTS YOU CAN TAKE, ITS A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF THE HUMAN DIET. ITS NOTHING LIKE CREATINE OR PRE-FUELS. I WOULD SAY TO DO MORE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET OR HAVE YOUR PARENTS SEARCH INTO IT. REALLY THOUGH I THINK YOU WOULD ALSO BE FINE WITH HEALTHY HIGH PROTEIN FOODS. YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO START SERIOUS BODYBUILDING UNTIL YOU'R A BIT OLDER BUDDY.Originally Posted by matewuclarke

Whey protein itself is safe for people of nearly all ages. I would stick to a quality undenatured whey protein without any added amino profiles just to be safe. This will give you a protein load with added antioxidant benefits. I would avoid taking too much in a day though, as you age a bit you can explore supplement stacks safely. But first and foremost, listen to the rents.
