Dr. John Wigneswaran answered

Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Protein : Right after working out, for the few hours thereafter, your body is in a period where added protein can be helpful in achieving further growth. I would avoid steroids or products like creatinine kinase which have been associated with kidney injury.
