ok so im 17 and in the middle of my 4th month in the gym ive noticeably gained strength and a bit of mass but like any other person or teen want faster results,so i have thought about taking supplements such as BETA-7 or cellmass or any other creatine . btw i follow a balanced diet and workout everyday but what i want to know is if it will cause any damage later on or if i should take something else or just wait a while
do your research.
thats about as nice as anyone is going to put it.
while just getting into lifting, you really don’t need anything outside of a solid diet.
btw, workingout everyday isnt exactly smart.
these boards have a lot to offer, absorb as much as you can.

Can you give us some more info:
Height
Weight
What Program are you currently following?
Is your sole training goal muscle mass?
That being said, at 17, some basic things you can do:
-If you’re after mass, go for a protein supplement like Metabolic Drive Complete to have 2-3 per day.
- Get some Surge for Post Work Out. If you can, try doubling up on the servings (See Shugarts article on the Double Dose Surge Experiment).
- Get some Creatine Monohydrate.

You’re still growing. I wouldn’t take anything. Just keep working hard. And you mention that you workout everyday. Give yourself ample time to grow!
Take a teaspoon of L-glutamine pre-workout, and some creatine (read the label for dosage) post-workout. Plus, drink a protein shake post-workout. I like myoplex lite.
I really like the Biotest sups. Every now and then I try another brand and I am reminded of why I stuck with Biotest for so long.
100% whey protein is a very usefull supplement, especially straight after a workout

If you’re looking for strength and size, in all honesty my favorite program is Joe DeFranco’s Westsie for Skinny Bastards I or II. If you do that, look up John Berardi’s 7 Habits, and just keep things simple and apply a boatload of effort, you’ll be on your way to building impressive strength as well as an impressive physique.
