Kids Immune Protein is designed for children aged 12 months and older. The nutrition panel aligns with RDIs for ages 1–3, but older kids and teens enjoy it too.
- 12 months – 4 years: 1 scoop (~1.5 tbsp / 15 g) per day. Can be split between a milkshake and cooking.
- 4+ years: 1–2 scoops per day, depending on dietary needs.
- Adults: safe to enjoy, including during pregnancy and breastfeeding. For an adult-tailored formula, see our Mothers Replete Protein.
Because it's real wholefood (not synthetic), think of it like food, not medicine. The serving size is a guide, and many families increase gently when sickness is going around.
Yes. Kids Immune Protein is made from gentle wholefood ingredients (pasture-raised collagen, real cacao/vanilla/strawberry, naturally-sourced vitamins and minerals) and is safe alongside pregnancy and breastfeeding. Many mums share it with their little ones.
For a formula tailored specifically to adult and maternal nutrition needs, see our Mothers Replete Protein.
A quick milkshake is the easiest and most popular way: 1 scoop into your favourite milk and whisk well. Any milk works, full cream, lite, soy, oat, almond, whatever your little one prefers.
Because this is real wholefood (not full of synthetic fillers and emulsifiers), it needs a proper whisk to dissolve smoothly. Our hand mixer makes it silky in seconds.
You can also stir into porridge or yoghurt, bake into muffins or bliss balls, or blend into smoothies. For more ideas, head to our recipe blog.
Best made fresh. Without synthetic emulsifiers, the powder can settle and separate if mixed ahead of time. If you do need to pre-make it (e.g. for daycare), give it a good shake or stir right before serving.
We've got you. Under our 14-day Taste Guarantee, if your little one doesn't take to a flavour, just email us at hello@unrefinednutrients.com.au and we'll send a different flavour on us. No need to send the original back.
A few tips from our community:
- Vanilla is the universal crowd-pleaser and the safest bet for fussy eaters.
- Strawberry tends to do really well with younger kids.
- Chocolate is more natural (no added sugar). Some kids take a few tries to warm up to it. Frothing with warm milk helps.
Yes. You can add it to warm meals or baking; some vitamins (B1, B5, B9, C) are heat-sensitive and may reduce slightly. Hydrolysed collagen, minerals, L-Tryptophan, magnesium and choline remain stable.
For maximum benefit, mix in after cooking or use in cooler recipes like smoothies or yoghurt.
All flavours meet strict FSANZ standards and are free from artificial colours, preservatives and sweeteners; non-GM; tested for heavy metals, glyphosate, herbicides and pesticides; gentle on little tummies (12+ months).
- Strawberry: real strawberry + plant compounds (not fruit powder) to avoid additives and clumping.
- Chocolate: real cacao components; rounded with cacao + carob for a smooth taste without added sugar or stimulants.
- Vanilla: plant-derived compounds from vanilla beans; no preservatives or artificial additives.
Yes. Kids Immune Protein is free from nuts, dairy, soy and gluten. Our manufacturer follows stringent allergen controls including routine swabbing and testing, and we batch-test for gluten, peanuts and tree nuts.
Yes. According to FSANZ, collagen is a safe whole-food protein derived from cows. Ours is hydrolysed for easy absorption and sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle. Kids Immune Protein also contains L-Tryptophan to provide a complete essential amino acid profile.
Proudly made in Brisbane, Australia. Ingredients are globally sourced (climate-dependent) with sustainable and organic practices prioritised. All suppliers are carefully vetted for quality and safety.
All ingredients used in Kids Immune Protein are Halal-friendly (e.g., bovine collagen from cattle, natural flavours, minerals, vitamins). However, our manufacturing facility is not currently Halal-certified. While strict allergen and hygiene controls are in place, we don't claim formal Halal certification at this time.
No. It's not a formula or meal replacement. We recommend a food-first approach and using it alongside a varied diet.
We're working on single-serve sample packs. In the meantime, our 14-day Taste Guarantee covers you. If your child doesn't love their flavour, we'll swap it for a different one free of charge.
Our Ingredients
Pasture-raised Collagen
Collagen is a natural structural protein that makes up approximately 30% of the total protein in the human body. Collagen can support your child’s joint health, help maintain muscle mass and aid in bone health. Sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle, with the highest standards of care, our collagen has been produced using a hydrolyzed process that breaks it down into smaller, more easily digestible peptides ensuring superior bioavailability and easy absorption. Our Immune Protein contains a complete essential amino acid profile, due to the addition of L-Tryptophan, the only essential amino acid missing in natural bovine collagen.
B Vitamins derived from Organic Quinoa Sprouts
The B Vitamins in Immune Protein are a proprietary blend of ACTIVE B vitamins obtained from Organic Quinoa Sprouts. Unlike synthetic B vitamins which can be poorly absorbed (and sometimes upset little tummies), PANMOL® B-Complex is derived from a whole food source and contains Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 and B12 in their biologically active (natural) form for maximum absorption. Nutrients derived from a whole food source are said to be more readily recognised by the body than synthetic nutrients, making them more bioavailable for better absorption. We chose this form to also ensure the B vitamins are gentle on little tummies!
Vitamin D derived from Organic Shiitake Mushrooms
Vitamin D is essential for several important functions in children, including bone growth and development (it helps the body to absorb calcium) and immune system support. The Vitamin D in our Kid’s Immune Protein is a plant-based source of Vitamin D extracted from Organic Shiitake Mushrooms. After harvesting, shiitake mushrooms are exposed to UV-B light (similar to sunlight) for a certain period of time. This exposure triggers a natural process in the mushrooms where ergosterol, a compound found in the cell membranes of fungi, is converted into vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol). This is the same process that occurs in human skin when exposed to sunlight, converting cholesterol into vitamin D3.
Camu Camu
Camu camu is a small, tart fruit native to the Amazon rainforest, renowned for its exceptional potency as a source of vitamin C. In fact, camu camu contains up to 60 times more vitamin C than an orange, making it one of the most concentrated natural sources of this vital nutrient. Vitamin C plays a key role in supporting a healthy immune system, helping the body fight off infections, reduce inflammation, and promote overall wellness. For growing children, this powerful antioxidant is especially important in boosting immune defense and promoting healthy skin, tissues, and gums. Camu camu provides a natural, highly bioavailable form of vitamin C, helping ensure your child receives optimal support for their immune system in a gentle and effective way.
Zinc Gluconate
Zinc is an essential mineral and particularly important for children as adequate zinc intake is crucial for proper growth, immune function, and development, especially in cases where picky eating may limit the variety of foods consumed. Since zinc is not stored in the body, it must be replenished regularly through diet or supplements. Some studies have also shown a correlation between zinc deficiency and reduced appetite, often contributing to picky eating behaviours. For example, a 2021 study found that 37.4% of picky eaters had lower zinc levels than non-picky eaters! Many multivitamins combine zinc and iron, but because these two minerals compete for absorption, we’ve chosen to exclude iron from our blends to ensure your child gets the full benefit of the zinc included!
Pre & Probiotics
Prebiotics and probiotics play a key role in supporting a child's gut health, which is closely linked to digestion, immunity, and overall development. Our Immune Protein contains Queensland grown green banana resistant starch, which is a natural prebiotic that feeds good gut bacteria and promotes regular bowel movements. We've also included the specific probiotic, Bacillus coagulans as it can survive stomach acid, is heat resistant and can help to balance gut flora while reducing digestive discomfort. When used together, these two ingredients create a synbiotic effect, enhancing each other's benefits and supporting long-term gut flora balance, a resilient immune system and better nutrient absorption for thriving children.
