I have a 21 yr old son who weighs 109 lbs. will protein powder help him gain weight?

Poor Weight Gain:: First, make sure he doesn't have any medical issues, e.g. Metabolic, digestive, endocrine, respiratory, neurological, chronic infections, etc. Talk to his pediatrician to find out any issue that needs to be fixed. Lot of time, no cause is found after relevant exam/tests. Try a balanced regular diet. His pediatrician will be the best to guide , nutritionist will be additional help/.
