Protein supplements : The values you posted are in normal ranges. Taking protein supplements while working out helps to add muscle to your body. It has less of an effect on your blood work.

Means nothing: In an athlete in robust good health, blood protein levels correlate more with the state of your hydration and probably some unknowns than with your protein supplements. I'm glad you're into fitness. Best wishes.
