My boy does not easily gain weight, despite eating up to 5,000 calories per day.  A month before he turned 18, he started taking the low dose of creatine (5 g) once a day.  This did seem to help him add upper body muscle.

Be sure to read up on creatine if you decide to have your boy take it.

I want to mention that creatine is safe if taken correctly, but isn't really for gaining weight per say. Weight increase will usually happen as muscle mass increases, but most athletes take this to help them get over a plateau that their current program has them at. The real problem with creatine is that some idiots think 5 scoops = 5x stronger. Went to school a few years back with a genius like this, and it landed him in the ER with kidney issues that required IV fluids to flush.
