Because children are at a critical moment of growth and development, parents need to pay attention to their nutrition absorption. Some parents are very concerned about their children's protein absorption and usually give them protein powder. But are parents sure that protein powder is really good for children? Next, let's learn about children drinking protein powder, shall we? What are the hazards and side effects of children taking protein powder?

First of all, it is best for children under 3 years old not to eat protein powder, because the digestive system and kidneys of children under 3 years old are not yet mature, so it is not good to eat protein powder blindly. For example, long-term consumption will lead to poor gastrointestinal function and increase the burden on children's liver. For children with insufficient intake of protein after the age of 3, eating some protein powder properly has many benefits, such as helping children to balance nutrition and enhance their physical strength.

If children eat a lot of protein powder for a long time, it is harmful:

1, causing obesity: children eating too much protein powder may lead to overnutrition, which in turn leads to obesity.

2, increase the burden on the stomach: children's stomach is often fragile, if you eat too much protein powder, it is easy to cause indigestion, such as vomiting, diarrhea and so on.

3, increase the burden of liver and kidney: because protein powder needs liver and kidney to metabolize, taking a lot of protein powder will inevitably increase the burden of children's liver and kidney, especially children with liver and kidney diseases, which may aggravate the condition.

In short, the child develops normally and has a balanced diet, so there is no need to drink protein powder. Parents usually accompany their children to exercise more and pay attention to their balanced diet.
