some protein powders contain creatine, just look in the ingrediants. if it doesn't have any creatine, then yeah go for it! for you i reccomend no more than 1gram of protein for every 1lb of bodyweight.
 
The history of Creatine

In 1832 the French scientist Chevreul discovered a new ingredient of meat to which he gave the name Creatine, according to the source from which it was extracted (Kreas: Greek for flesh). The German scientist Justus von Liebig confirmed that Creatine is a regular constituent of flesh. Creatine levels in wild animals were 10 times higher compared to captive animals suggesting that physical activity might have an influence on the amount of Creatine present in flesh. A meat extract (Liebigs Fleischextrakt) was the only source for Creatine supplementation over the next century.

Anecdotal reports in the early 1990’s suggested that Creatine supplementation might improve sport performance. British track and field 1992 Olympic champions Linford Christie (100 m dash) and Sally Gunnell (400 m hurdles) reportedly used Creatine, as did the Cambridge University rowing team in training for three months before defeating the heavily favored Oxford [16]. Numerous controlled clinical trials followed in the upcoming years proving the benefits of Creatine supplementation in different sports.

Many celebrated professional athletes and Olympic champions acknowledge Creatine use and estimated 80% of the athletes at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta used Creatine. Mark McGwire, one of major league baseball’s greatest sluggers, used Creatine during the 1998 season and his legendary race to set the single season home run record, making Creatine the most popular sports nutrition in the US. Creatine supplementation has become a common practice among professional, elite, collegiate and amateur athletes to enhance exercise performance.

Today, Creatine is one of the best-studied supplements in the field of sports nutrition and its proven efficacy as an ergogenic substance was reviewed and accepted by numerous authorities.
 
at 13, you honestly have no use for it. your body can produce it on its own and you can get some in food. a solid meal plan and good training will get you where you want to go. :)
 
wait, so, it said that active animals had more creatine in them? if the human body makes creatine, would that mean somebody more active than another, would have better gains?
 
well the human body makes ~2.5 grams per day, so i dont know if an active individual would see better results (prob not enough to notice) because his/her body had 3 grams, or 3.5 grams a day.. you know? but creatine doesn't have to be taken through powder, you can get lots of it from ligonberries and lean red meat..
 
no, i think you're too young to see any of the benefits, but not to young to get the sideeffects.
 
One kilogram (2.2 pounds) of raw round steak contains ~four grams of creatine. but when you cook it, it destroys some of the creatine, so you're left with probably half of that.

non active people use about 2 grams of creatine a day, an athlete uses a lot more. i just read up on this in one of my classes on friday, and i found out that a looong while ago someone did a study and found out that a fox caught in the wild had 10x more creatine in its meat than a domesticated fox. came as a shock to me..
