Does taking protien supplement have any side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not unless...: You have kidney disease. If young and healthy and on a weight training program, take no more than 2 grams of protein per 2.2 lbs (kg) of body weight per day. Any more than that provides no added benefit!
