Are you asking about L-Arginine supplements? L-Arginine is the amino acid that is converted into Nitric Oxide by the enzyme Nitric Oxide Synthase.
In reasonable amounts (3 to 6 grams per day) L-Arginine is safe. But, why would a teen be taking this?
I have never seen a scientific study suggesting that increased levels of NO improve responses to weight lifting. The BEST things you can do are: 1) learn proper weight training techniques, and 2) eat a balanced, healthy diet - which very, very few people do.
as long as you don't have a pre-existing heart condition and don't exceed recommended doses; you should be fine.
