how old do u have to be to buy protein powders at gnc???? Thanks
 
i bought it there when I was 15... I dont know if there is some minimum age.

however I wouldn't advise taking it until you are at least 14.
 
You don't have to be any certain age to purchase protein supplements, but like the previous poster said I wouldn't advise buying it if you're real young. Take it easy and focus on eating from clean whole food sources. But if you're training real hard and find it difficult to meet your caloric needs, then go ahead buy the supplements.
 
the problem with protein supplementation at a young age is dosage.

you are still growing and therefore its hard to find the right dose. when in doubt take LESS.

when you get to around 17-18 you can start to ingest 1 gram per pound of body weight, or even more.
 
haha, yeah, if you think that there MAY be an age limit on something, you're too young
