My son is 11 years old and he plays lawn tennis. I need to give him more protein than what he takes in his routine schedule. Been a pure vegetarian is it advisable to give him whey protein at this age. Will it have any effect or side effect on him. If he can take a whey protien which is the best taste.

Yes, he can take whey protein. Buy any brand. Just take care whey protein should be at least 80% per serving. For example if one serving is of 30 grams, then at least 24 grams come from whey protein.
