Appeton Weight Gain Junior is a scientifically formulated high-protein milk formula specifically designed for children who are underweight, recovery-bound, or "picky eaters."

Appeton Weight Gain Junior is indicated for children who are below the ideal weight for their age, those with poor appetites, or children recovering from illness. The L-Lysine in the formula helps stimulate the natural desire to eat, while the Whey Protein provides the necessary amino acids to build lean muscle tissue rather than just fat. It also contains a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals to support the immune system and cognitive growth during these critical developmental years.
Appeton Weight Gain Junior is a nutritional supplement and should be given in addition to regular meals, not as a total meal replacement. It is not suitable for infants under 12 months. If your child has a confirmed cow's milk allergy or lactose intolerance, consult our pharmacist before use.
Add 20g to 25g (approximately 2 to 2.5 scoops) of Appeton Weight Gain Junior powder to 150ml of warm water. Stir well and serve 2 to 3 times daily, ideally one hour after each main meal. Consistency is key; giving the milk after meals ensures the child receives "bonus" calories that go toward weight gain and growth.
Pro Tip: For children who are very picky, you can blend the powder into a fruit smoothie or stir it into oats to make the extra calories more enjoyable.
Appeton Junior is generally very well-tolerated. Some children may experience mild bloating or changes in bowel habits during the first few days as their system adjusts to the increased protein and calorie density. If your child develops a persistent skin rash or severe diarrhea, discontinue use and consult our pharmacist.
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Once the tin is opened, keep it tightly sealed with the plastic lid provided. To ensure maximum freshness and nutritional potency, consume the contents within 4 weeks of opening. Keep out of reach of children.
Q: How long does it take to see weight gain in a child?
A: With consistent use (3 times daily after meals), most parents notice a visible improvement in their child’s energy and weight within 4 to 8 weeks.
Q: Can my 2-year-old take this?
A: The Junior formula is clinically designed for children aged 3 and above. For children under 3, please consult your pediatrician for a specialized infant or toddler formula.
Q: Will it make my child hyperactive?
A: No. Appeton provides steady energy through complex nutrients and does not contain high levels of refined sugars or caffeine-like stimulants.
Q: Can I mix it with cold water?
A: Warm water helps the high-protein powder dissolve more smoothly without clumping, but it can be served chilled once mixed.
