Should Teens Use Supplements?

By George Touliatos, MD

 

At work there were a few cases where teens were visiting me along with their parents. Mainly they wanted to discuss using creatine. My intention was to show them that if their nutrition was complete, there was not significant need for supplementation. Nevertheless, some of them were having high expectations, such as being on a national team. Therefore, they were allowed to use ergogenic supplements as long their labs were normal. Occasionally, when parents were very conservative and concerned, my intention was to discourage teens and take the side of their parents. It’s a very delicate situation when you have a whole family in front of you and you realize that there’s no potential in their kid. As Apollo said in Rocky: “Be a thinker, not a stinker.” Stay in school!
