Out of curiosity, why the warnings about not giving Whey-Rx to kids under 18? Seems like it would be ideal for growth, especially with picky eaters.

Would certainly be better than all the grocery chain chocolate milk powder products that are loaded with sugar. Just looked up NESQUIK Chocolate Cocoa Powder - it has 11 g of sugar and \<1-gram protein (powder only). Even their No Sugar Added formula is still 3-grams sugar and \<1-gram protein per serving (powder only).

Love the chocolate - if you ever run short of beta-testers, let me know!

We did that for legal purposes. While I agree there _isn’t_ a risk for children, package labeling is a mess!

Thanks! Doctor - just pitched the Nesquik “no sugar added” and ordered another Whey-Rx tub for my granddaughter’s after school drink.

BTW, order through Amazon to beat the shipping – that said, if purchasing through them cuts into your profit margin, please let me know – get so much incredible value from your website that I would gladly pay the difference to make sure full profit goes to you instead of to some corporate juggernaut.

Can’t believe BBM’s awesomeness! Thanks for all!

Amazon is cool with us 🙂 Thanks for the support!

as a follow up, would these guide lines be be fairly accurate?

**Children between 4 and 6 need 0.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight** so a 45-pound 5-year-old requires 22.5 grams of protein. Children between 7 and 14 require 0.45 grams of protein per body weight. For a 12-year-old weighing 90 pounds, this translates to 40.5 grams of protein daily.

Pretty close to the 26.2 g of one scoop of Whey-Rx

Thanks! again - and kudos on the forum’s awesomeness - you guys are fantastic
