No! If it did, they would not be able to sell it over the counter and especially not for children.

Why did you think it contained steroids?

My nephew who is about 4 years of age, was extremely frail and underweight for his age. The child was born underweight and didn't have a normal period of lactation. The boy has put of considerable bone mass and body weight after just three months of consuming Pediasure. A drastic change in body composition, rather rock solid body structure for a four year old. Hence I too doubt whether this product contains any performance enhancer kind of chemicals related to the class anabolic steroids, which are being used by athletes or bodybuilders.
