There is no such clear classification regarding age and protein shakes. Starting a protein shake depends on the cause or why you exactly want to start with it? Protein requirements can be easily accomplished by eating a balanced diet and including foods rich in proteins. These foods include eggs, fish, lean meat, de skinned chicken, sprouts, pulses, milk and milk products. Some people start protein shakes with the intension of gaining or losing weight, some start due to the loss of lean body mass (which is believed to occur after the age of 35), or some for building body muscles. However you can start as early as you reach your teens or adulthood. But remember this should be done under the guidance and recommendation of a health care professional.
