Not harmful: Probably not very effective either. It contains some vitamins and micronutrients, all of which could be easily obtained from a healthy diet. Eat at least 100 g protein daily with 7 or more servings of fruits or vegetables. Limit carbohydrates and exercise 150 minutes per week. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
