About 25.7% of adolescent boys have taken creatine, and one in ten teens have used weight loss supplements. Minors can legally buy these supplements in 49 states, both in stores and online. A documentary, "Generation Flex," explores this trend, raising questions about the safety and appropriateness of supplements for teens.
