Baby supplement with milk mostly useful for babies/infants for their nutrition it won't be much effect to adults.
There are alot of supplements available for adults for better nutrition but I recommend u to go through natural foods which gives u much more energy and nutrients.
Try to take a good amount of protein,sodium and Potassium, calcium through food.

Milk with baby formula is suitable for babies as it is prepared with nutrients that are required and sufficient for infants, it wont have much effect for adults.
Though few adults uses as it has protiens whuch they think is beneficial but an adult body requires more protein and vitamins than infants/babies.
Advice you to consult with nutrionist if required more advice on supplements for adults for making muscle strong.
