A member asked:
Is there any side effects if i take excess amount of protein shake like "serious mass"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No way to tell : Unfortunately, dietary supplements are regulated as foods (as opposed to drugs). As such, they are not required to undergo the same testing (or prove their claims to be true). Also, since no third party testing of their product is required - the ingredients listed don't even have to match what is in the bottle. Wish I had a better answer ... Good luck!
