Why is Protein Important for Kids' Growth?

We all know protein is important for adults, but it’s absolutely essential for children too. From supporting growth and brain development to keeping their immune system strong, protein plays a major role in your child’s everyday health.

A recent article from Times of India suggested lack of protein in kids' diets can lead to stunted growth & low immunity! Many kids today eat diets high in sugar and carbs, but low in quality protein.

Let’s break it down, and show you a simple, clean-label solution that can help.

How Much Protein Do Kids Really Need?

Protein requirements depend on a child’s age and weight. The 2015–2020 USDA Dietary Guidelines recommend the following amount of protein each day for children based on their age group. 

Why Protein is a Must for Growing Kids?

  • Helps Them Grow Stronger – Protein is a key building block for muscles and bones. It supports height, strength, and overall physical development.
  • Boosts Immunity – It helps build antibodies that keep your child safe from frequent infections.
  • Supports Brain Function – Certain amino acids from protein-rich foods can sharpen memory, focus, and learning ability.
  • Keeps Energy Levels Steady – Unlike sugar, protein offers long-lasting energy without the crashes.

Why Are So Many Indian Kids Missing Out on Protein?

  • Carb-Heavy Meals – Our traditional meals are often based around rice, chapati, or potatoes—all important foods, but low in protein.

  • Lack of Awareness – Parents often focus on vitamins and minerals but forget about protein.

  • Too Much Junk Food – Processed snacks and sugary drinks are replacing nutritious, protein-rich foods.
