Protein plays a vital role in building muscles and tissues in kids. Also, it helps in building strong immune systems that help your child to fight against bacteria, viruses, and other diseases. If your child is between 2 to 8 years, then he/she should intake 3 to 5 ounces of protein per day. Whereas, if he/she lies between 10 to 14 years, then his /her protein intake should be between 10-14 years.

If your child is eating iron-rich foods such as chicken, egg, soy, fish, yogurt, etc. then it's okay, but if not, then it would be good to mix the protein powder in his milk.
