A member asked:
Are there any side effects of protein "shake"(whey brand)? im taking it three times a week when i play in gym
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safe: Whey protein isolates are generally very safe to ingest, especially at the amount you are using it. There is a potential for some abdominal distress if you take too much at once, but this is also rather rare. Assuming you have no other medical issues that would preclude you from processing protein, you should be just fine with the shakes.
