Can my 10‑year‑old son use Apollo Pharmacy NutriXP Saffron Flavour Protein Powder if he is of very low weight? What is the age limit?
This protein powder is designed for adult nutritional needs and does not have an official recommendation for use in children. Children have different protein and calorie requirements, and using adult supplements may lead to excessive protein intake or an imbalance of nutrients. For a 10‑year-old who is underweight, it is important to have a paediatrician evaluate growth, dietary intake, and overall health. The doctor can recommend age‑appropriate nutrition strategies, such as child-specific protein powders, fortified foods, or balanced dietary adjustments, to support healthy weight gain and growth safely and effectively.
