Should a vegetarian teen take creatine for weight gain?
Patient's Query
I am 18 years old and have joined gym since a year. I am 6.2 feet tall and I think this to be the reason for not gained weight. My current weight is 64.I have been using whey protein from 6 months but no result. I am vegetarian and eating high calorie food still unable to gain weight. Do you recommend me to take creatine and is it totally safe as a late teen
Answered by Dr. Babita Goel
It would be better if you consulted a nutritionist or dietitian to get an individualized meal plan. When you are 6.2 feet tall, it does not mean that weight gain is impossible. It would rule out or treat other underlying medical conditions such as thyroid disorder, metabolic disease. Consult a specialist before taking creatine or any other supplement, in order to make sure it is safe for you.
