Most children get enough protein from their regular diet, so protein powders are usually unnecessary. Giving extra protein without need can cause risks like kidney strain, nutrient imbalance, or excess calories and additives. If a supplement is being considered, it should only be given under the guidance of a paediatrician or dietitian to ensure safety and suitability, so do not use it in children on your own.

When it comes to daily protein powders or health supplements for a 4-year-old child, products designed for adults are generally not safe or suitable without medical advice.

Here are some important points to consider:

  • Consult a pediatrician before giving any protein powder or supplement to your child.
  • If supplementation is needed, choose products specifically formulated for young children.
  • Focus on providing a balanced diet rich in natural foods such as milk, eggs, legumes, fruits, and vegetables to support healthy growth.
  • Apollo Pharmacy may offer child-specific nutritional supplements, but these should only be used under medical supervision to ensure they are safe and appropriate for your child's age and health.
  • Always read product labels carefully and avoid adult formulations for young children.

If you have concerns about your child's nutrition or growth, the best step is to discuss them with a pediatrician who can provide personalized advice and recommend safe options.
