Is It Safe To Take Creatine During Workouts?

Hello my son is 19 and has been on zoloft 100mg for about a year now....the dr. just up the meds to 150mg for about a week and then 200mg. He takes Creatine to workout with but I asked him not to take the preworkout drinks before because of the caffeine in them. Well he keeps taking them and I am worried that all of this in his body will cause him harm.

Hi,

Your son is 19 yrs old, he doesn't need supplements to build muscles.
Explain to your son that muscle built with supplements aren't strength as those made only by good nutrition and workouts. Also muscles that grow faster while using supplements also turn back faster after cut off supplements.

Take care.
