The short answer is no. Energy chews are designed with the active adult in mind. They may appeal to kids, because they look and taste like gummies, but the carbohydrates, salt, and other additives such as caffeine in energy chews are not appropriate for kids. The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry advises against caffeine for children under the age of 12, and it recommends limiting it to no more than 100 mg daily for adolescents 12 through 18 years of age.
