Make sure you get plenty of sleep (teenagers usually don't understand this concept) and your diet is full of protein as well as "good" carbs and fat and your body will show its appreciation - no supplements needed.

Good nutritional habits built now will be your foundation blocks for years to come. Good nutrition is goal number 1. At your age, you have plenty ATP, testosterone, and stamina. Feed it and use it!
