At 16 what suplements can i take??

[adrenaline]

Are there any sideaffects?

I already take a 25g prer serving powder but im not sure if it is to much to little or is it going to harm meh?

Cuz like on the container it says should be "taken with doctors recomendation 15+" :P

What are you taking?

At 16, you should only be worried about taking a multivitamin, EFAs and whey protein. I consider these basics in my book but just to answer your question.

Just focus on eating and expanding and improving your diet. Have plenty of shakes throughout the day if you like to boost your calorie intake. A simple shake made up of milk with a banana, wheat germ, blueberries and some whey can help out in many ways.

Make sure you eat lots of veggies and keep the protein intake high. Stick to complex/ high GI carbs and stay away from junk food. If you'd like you can cheat on the weekends but don't stray too far from the original plan.

What is it that you're already taking like Cam mentioned?

I am sure he is talking about whey protien.!!!

That's some nasty bulking powder you're taking there - 57.3g per hundred of sugar
- I hope you haven't got a close relationship with your teeth.

You really shouldn't be taking any supp if you don't know what it is or what it does!

Yep! Whey, a good multivitamin, and food. The building blocks of any beginner's dietary supplements. Read up on sport supplements to find out what has withstood the test of time. Don't fill your house with supplements as most of them are of limited use. Notice that the word is SUPPLEMENT. Which means "in addition to". Try to get most of your nutrients through food. Good, clean, High Protein, High Complex Carbohydrate, low fat and sugar, food!

All the supplements ull ever need, at any age are as follows:

a good multi-vitamin
whey protein
casein protein
BCAA's
fish/flax oil
and maybe some creatine

All the supplements ull ever need, at any age are as follows:

a good multi-vitamin- MUST have
whey protein- Definitely, very useful.
casein protein- You can get plenty of that from food.
BCAA's - If you're fairly new, wouldn't bother with it
fish/flax oil- You can get some EFAs in place of this
and maybe some creatine- Maybe after 4-6 months of hard training

My thoughts in bold. Supplements should be taken as experience is gained, not age..

[adrenaline]

ahhh thanx peepz, So the one i have know its good but i its loaded with sugar? And that i guess means its bad and i should throw it way :P

[Cammo]

Get some normal protein powder & do a half/half mix with the stuff you've got - I'd hate you to waste what you've got.

[dannyboy9]

If it's unopened, just sell it on-line.

[adrenaline]

Um...BEfore i bought the new one i rather make sure its the right one so i'll post it up....

there's two there and thats about all i can find in safeway :P

[Cammo]

The first one is soy protein - try & get whey protein.
The second is only a 375g pack - a very expensive way to buy your protein.

Why not ask your parents if you can buy some online with their credit card (early birthday present or something).

You will get much better quality & much more for your (or your parents) money.
