A member asked:

I would like to know if using whey protein and bcaa to work out can increase the level of prolactin in a men (22, 2 ng/ml)? thank you.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: No, dietary protein will not affect prolactin. There are many medications that can cause mild prolactin elevations. Also, a lot of nipple stimulation can do this, which can sometimes be a factor with athletes, both men and women. A pituitary disorder is possible.
