Specializes in Internal Medicine

Need more info: The 30 grams of protein should be no problem if you have normal kidney and liver function. In order to know if the shake has side effects it would be necessary to know what are the ingredients. Some shakes add caffeine or other stimulants which can cause anxiety, insomnia, tremor and a rapid or irregular heart beat
