A member asked:
Does the protien have any side effects if i took it in regular way as suplement for bodybuilding ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: It may cause weight gain but taken normally it should cause no side effects assuming a healthy pair of kidneys. Large protein loads on people with bad kidney function can be problematic. Need to make sure you drink plenty of water and workout. Added protein like anything else eventually leads to increased caloric intake.
