I am 16 years old and currently trying to find out the answer to the same question. =/ Articles I have read would indicate that it's more to do with a "It's better to be safe than sorry"- kind of attitude, and not enough research has been conducted to prove that it is safe for people below the age of 18. On the other hand, most articles I have read, have had people claim that there has been no adverse side effects of taking creatine below the stated age- however taking ABOVE the reckomended daily allowance can cause some harm to the body (I'm probably wrong, but I remember it being 5g or something). Creatine is found naturally in the body which would make me think that as long as it is taken in a controlled manner, it can be taken by people below the age of 18- however I don't have any evidence to back this up obviously! You really should check with your doctor. I asked a fitness expert about this and this is what he told me: Creatine is not proven to be harmful, but it's not recommended either. I wouldn't advise it at your age, but it's your choice.

∙ 15y agoYes. It's generally a bit harder for most guys (assuming you're not a girl) to build up all that much muscle before they're around 18 or so, but creatine should help at least somewhat. Just remember that it's not a magic bullet and you won't see results overnight. You still have to put in your time at the gym and eat right if you want to get big.
