at 15 you won't see a difference. If your diet is ok and have a good pre workout meal you should feel the benefit.
Have a post workout shake within 45minutes. Spend your $$$ on a dvd instead!

Ha ha pritchard.... you said apples - and bananas. (sorry I'm bored) well, if u want my opinion, I'd say anything's worth a try, you may not see permanent results, but U'll get a bit of a boost from tha creatine durin ur workouts (or so my friends find... me - i think it's witchcraft HA HA jokes) no, I'm too lazy and I cant be bothered to spend money on it. Meh.

I would say Creatine Monohydrate, not the ones with too much sugar though. And drink it with carbs (33-93 grams of simple sugars).

Yea exactly, just pure creatine, mix it with gator aid.......... Now with this said, I saw gains, but nothing magical about it, I gained about 3 or 4 lbs. If you take it drink plenty of water, about 1 gallon a day. ONly diet will build your muscle, creatine just helps with the fuel. KInda like a high octance gasonline, makes your car perform better faster, and better gas milage, but the engine is the same. Don't expect miracles
