Question 1

are protein powder are safe for bodybuilders and which protein powder or weight gainer is good without any side effect?

Accepted Answer

In moderation: High dietary protein intake, due to its acid-producing load, increases urinary calcium excretion (with potential risk for bone loss and calcium stone formation if you eat 0.8 g/kg, kg not lbs). You can take between 0.64 - .82g/lb if your bodybuilding, but there hasn’t been any recorded advantage of consuming more than 0.64g/lb and you can get the risk that i stated above once

Question 2

i take nutrilite from amway, is it safe for health?
i use, protein powder, daily, calcium, etc.
my weight and height is normal with no decease.

Accepted Answer

Not useful: Other than lightening your wallet, the supplement is not doing you any good.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 3

i'm looking for. protein powder or bar i can use while nursing, breakfast is difficult for me so i need something quick easy and healthy. are they safe? is there anything i should look out for?

Accepted Answer

Full balanced diet: You can easily find protein bars in any large food market but you should really have a complete balanced diet with not only protein but also carbs, fats, vitamins, and minerals. You live in California and that should be easy to obtain without supplements all year round. You could speak to a nutritionist for more detailed guidance if need be.

Question 4

is it safe to take protein powder?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you overload on protein it will most likely get flushed out if your system.

Question 5

is it safe to use protein powder to get lean?

Accepted Answer

Protein: If you are referring to eating more protein and less carbohydrate intake to lose weight and become lean, that may work.

Question 6

how much protein powder is it safe to drink after a 2 hour workout?

Accepted Answer

Protein is necessary: You should aim to get about 20 g of protein daily.  Realizing that some of that is in your diet, be careful not to "overdue" because the metabolism of nitrogen in protein can burden your kidneys.  Protein is fine after exercise, as it keeps your metabolism up and contributes energy that you have burned.  A balanced approach (bar with protein, carb, and lipid) might be better, however.

Question 7

As stated in the article there are NSF certified powders "Certified for Sports"  that are processed in a GMF facility and do not contain toxic levels of chemical/ metals like arsenic or mercury.

Question 8

is shakeology protein powder safe for breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

Not sure: I reviewed the shakeology web site and there were some concerns that I have reviewing the ingredients
They list several added anti-oxidants and nutrients and basically my concern is that these have not been studies in babies
The other question would be how much of the shake is being transferred through breast milk and that has also not been studied- I think a well balanced diet is likely better

Question 9

should an 11-year old take whey protein powder? is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Whey protein is sold as a muscle building supplement. It is a milk product and has less fat than milk. It should not be harmful, it will be considerably less tasty than a hamburger, fish or chicken which are also good sources of protein.

Question 10

i'm planning to take optimum nutrition protein powder "serious mass". just wanted to know if creatine monohydrate safe for health?

Accepted Answer

Very safe: I am extremely glad that you are choosing to use creatine as your bodybuilding supplement rather than an anabolic steroid. The former is for real athletes; the latter is for cheaters / lawbreakers. Remember that most women strongly prefer the "natural bodybuilder" look, feel, and attitude. Best wishes.
