Question:

Is protien powder harmful to teens or children?


Answers:

It depends on the formula. An energy or weight building mix of ingredients that are MOSTLY protein are not good for children but my children are allergic to dairy and I feed them plain soy or rice protein in a smoothie almost every day. They DO NOT get a full "serving" because of their size ( 3yrs and 1yr) its actually about a 1/4th serving. Just remember though, they get it because they don't drink alot of dairy or eat the recommended servings of meat. If you children are eating lots of meat and drinking plenty of milk there is no need for a protein supplement. FYI Our bodies were not ment to be vegan. If you are raising your children vegan you NEED to consult with a pediatrician to make sure they get the needed vitamins and minerals that are in animal products.
