When I was younger, I was a top quality county level runner but was work shy when it came to the gym. I did some research and found out that it boosted energy and muscle mass if taken in smaller, controlled doses as I was 6ft tall and 9st wet through. It really did help at the time and there were no real noticeable side effects either as its something the body naturally creates.
All I will say is that I would encourage yous both to do research before using it and ask yourself the question if you can trust your lad to use it in moderation and not become reliant on it. Also tell him that he won't see big gains from using it straight away.

Surely, doing exercises designed to build muscle are more damaging to someone that hasn't stopped physically developing?
Not at all. All exercises build muscle anyway.

One of the very few legal supplements that actually has benefits and virtually no downsides unless it doesn't agree with you.
Also he doesn't need your permission, it's not an age restricted product.

It’s completely safe to use as long as he’s not having too much. The recommended doses err on the side of caution.
As well as gym performance it’s known to have other benefits like improved focus and concentration.
Your decision anyway, you’re his dad. It’s not dangerous but he doesn’t ’need it’. He’ll see good results at his age without it and can make his own choice as an adult.

That's probably from the additives, it's why I drink every night as nothing we consume is now safe

I think it's funny youngsters seem to have a pathological fear of having a few drinks but spend their days on their phones which is far more toxic.That's probably from the additives, it's why I drink every night as nothing we consume is now safe
Not funny actually but sad.

All these supplements are bollocks and are incredibly bad for your liver etc. and are partially responsible for the rise of cancer rates, as is eating high amounts of red meat for protein.
If people focused on their mental strength, (meditation, philosophy etc) they might not be so insecure to want to have overly inflated muscles to impress people or to look hard, because let's face it that's what 90% of weightlifters are doing it for.
I take all of my protein from a balanced diet and have naturally sized muscles that are really defined (look up images of artillery men for an example) and because I only do body weight workouts they are strong in functional strength, rather than these weightlifters who do isolated muscle workouts that may look big, but functionally (aka in a fight) are just inflated air muscles. Check out videos of bodybuilders being destroyed in arm wrestles or grappling by guys with smaller muscles but high functional strength.
I find it mental people spend hours at the gym trying to impress other people with big pudding muscles, but 0 hours per week building their mental strength and wisdom. People are lost in this Instagram world of vapid, superficial, fakeness, my 55 year old uncle just got his teeth done in turkey, his teeth were fine and he's happily married so not like he's out on the pull, he did it because social media has him insecure. Tragic.
