A member asked:

Who can take whey protein milk shake, and for how much long?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Almost anyone: If you are generally healthy, don't have a milk allergy or allergy to the ingredients, and young you should be ok. If you have a chronic medical illness you should ask your doctor. There is no set period you can or cannot have it. Depends on your weight goal or workout regimen as well.
