So I'm 16 years old and I was wondering if I should take supplements or if it is dangerous. I was thinking of maybe taking Jack3d Micro, Craze, Hemavol, and Creatine, all in minor quantities, so instead of 1 scoop, maybe half? Should I take these pre-workout supplements, or are they dangerous for teenagers?
Thanks guys!

I never really took creatine because I always heard that it was just water weight. I would say make sure you eat a lot of take protein supplements. That was my mistake through high school. I would go all day without eating breakfast, eat a small lunch, and then I wouldn't eat until after practice. I lost 14 pounds during my senior season. Big mistake, not one told me differently. The one time I took jack3d I felt scratchy and itchy like I would expect meth to feel like. If you're going to take a preworkout I had a good experience with C4 but you might be better off not taking a pre workout.

Your body is still young and developing at this time so I would stay away from anything besides Protein. There really is no true need for pre-workouts, bcaa's, etc but they do help with results, but at your age I wouldn't play around with them yet. Stick to a good training routine that you can find on this site, get plenty of sleep (put down the xbox/ps3 controller!), and stick to a good diet and you should see good results. Like I said the only think that you should probably be taking at this age is a simple protein shake like ON Gold Standard 100% Whey, just due to the convience of it. Good luck and train hard!

^^^ That's really good advice.
I'm 46 and have logged a great many hours in many gyms. I JUST recently purchased a pre-workout elixir and not sure I want to take it. As for other supplements, there are advantages, but also can bring about problems, depending.
Follow above, like religiously and work on busting your hump on a regular basis!
(There are VERY few who put in a 90%+ workout in on a daily basis.)
~ Cheers!
