Hello user
Your son is in teenage if you really want to give protein don't go for supplements bcoz they whey protein and other supplements are adviced according to the physical work of a person.
Here you didn't mention his physical work that dies he spent 6 to 7 hours in sports, heavy weight lifting in gym, regress exercise.
Those who are highly active in physical activities they get supplements so you didn't mention here his activity.

Hi
Why do you want to give the supplement when you can meet the protein requirements with the food which is natural and healthy at his age .
As per his age ,weight and height he need 0.85gm per kg body weight which means 55 to 56 gm of protein is recommended for him in a day .
So you can add sprouts ,lentils, dal,paneer, chees, nuts, home made protein powder in him diet which is healthy and good at his age.

Restrict the use of protein supplements, try and add natural foods such as egg whites, lean meat such as poultry,fish,mushrooms, a fist full of dry fruits,lentils,pulses ,dhals sprouts protein rich vegetables such as beans,peas,country beans butter beans ,kidney beans etc along with milk and products the way the body tries to absorb protein from natural sources is very very different from the way it absorbs from supplements
