Are protein powders good for people with pkd when working out to help gain weight (muscle)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely NOT!!!: Protein powders do not help anyone gain muscle. They are for suckers only. Excessive protein intake is potentially harmful in the presence of kidney disease. Don't be foolish.
