In general, it is not recommended for minors to consume pre-workout supplements (nitrogen pumps). Minors are in a critical stage of growth and development, and their bodily functions are not yet fully mature. The stimulants in pre-workout supplements may have adverse effects on their physical development; therefore, such products are typically not advised.

Who should not drink sweet rice wine
The bodies of minors are still developing, and alcohol may have adverse effects on their physical and brain development. Because their bodies are not fully developed and their livers have a weaker capacity to metabolize alcohol, children and adolescents are not suitable for consuming glutinous rice wine. Alcohol can affect the fetus through the placenta, increasing the risk of birth defects. At the same time, alcohol may also be passed to infants through breast milk; therefore, pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid consuming alcohol.
