Question 1

does whey protein supplements makes men impotent?

Accepted Answer

By itself no.: Whey by itself no.  It is a protein.

Other supplements used in bodybuilding circles may cause impotence however.

Question 2

any side effects of protein supplements like whey protein? and by the way, are these supplements effective?

Accepted Answer

Great for you: I am going to assume that you're buying from a reputable source and that the containers have been sealed from the manufacturer to prevent their being tainted. A vegetarian will probably need a protein supplement; they'll help you get bulked only if you're doing serious resistance training. Creatine and an electric muscle stimulator (if your physician approves) will also help you get mass.

Question 3

when bodybuilding, is it better to take whey protein supplements immediately after workouts or regularly throughout the day?

Accepted Answer

Both: You need more protein than a regular person does, so you will need to increase its intake. Before work outs - yes, but you will need to take more protein as well on a daily basis, so spreading it throughout the day is good too.

Question 4

which whey protein supplements will causes muscle gain but does not cause massive weight gain?

Accepted Answer

All if used right: I don't know of any whey protein powder that causes "massive weight gain." in general, weight gain comes from excessive starches &/or fats. Pure protein like whey does not cause this. But one will not have muscle gain just by eating whey- only by exercising as well! i strongly advise whey from grass-fed cows not given hormones & antibiotics, even better if processed at a low temperature.

Question 5

including essential amino acids supplement (bcaa) would affect gout? 
is whey protein supplements & glutamine supplement  safe for gout users?

Accepted Answer

None will effect gou: Gout is related to URIC ACID and PURINES, not amino acids or protein supplements. BUT, since everything you mention is a complete waste of money, why bother to ask? There are meds used to control gout in different ways. Low dose aspirin and thiazide diuretics tend to raise uric acid levels. Alcohol, especially in large amounts, often causes attacks. Low purine diets are slightly effective.

Question 6

i have notice red dots to the right of my belly button. i'm taking whey protein supplements and amino acids. would this be a reaction to that?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: to check stop taking the supplements and see if it goes away.  Otherwise, you may need to get it looked at by primary MD,

Question 7

i was wondering if  it would be ok to take whey protein supplements while taking bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) for a recent absess? thanks

Accepted Answer

Should be ok: Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) can cause a decrease in kidney function in some people. If you add too much protein to your system, the combination of extra protein and decreased kidney function can be dangerous.
Drink plenty of fluids while on this regimen. If you notice a darkening of your urine, pain on urination, decreased amount of urine being made, or feeling of general malaise, stop everyting and see your doctor!

Question 8

is it true that protein supplements such as whey and pro-complex cause cancer?

Accepted Answer

No: That's just something that somebody made up.

Question 9

what types of foods have the highest amount of proteins? this is not including whey or other protein supplements.

Accepted Answer

Egg Whites: Are the "gold standard" that proteins are measured against.  Low cal and high protein!

Question 10

Accepted Answer

No Problem: Whey protein is good for you at any age.  Excellent way to increase glutathione levels.  No problem starting or stopping.
