Is it safe to drink whey protein, i just wana gain a few pounds and make my thias thicker.?

Probably yes: Whey protein itself is probably safe, but with any food supplement, you can never be sure that the product has no contaminants (other substances that can harm you), since no safety agency regulates supplements. There have been cases of people getting ill (liver problems) from some protein supplements that may be imported from abroad.
