The issue is that it contains two things, protein and creatine, that if used improperly could potentially create problems. The main thing you want to do is make sure that, with the creatine, your son is drinking plenty of water and not taking other creatine supplements at the same time. Creatine can causes the muscles to hold more water, so it is very important to drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration, cramping, etc. The protein is also unlikely to cause any kidney problems. However, just make sure that your son is not taking more than his body can absorb. This means a MAXIMUM of 40 to 50g in one meal/serving at a time, and no more than 1.5 grams for every pound your son weighs per day. As always, it is best to consult with your (or your son's) doctor to get the appropriate medical advice regarding supplements and working out.
