A member asked:
Protein supplements used to build muscles are they safe or do they drastically effect the kidneys?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither: High protein diet was not shown to be harmful to kidneys for 6 months. Protein supplement however may harm kidney function especially if used for prolonged periods. Would advise against the use of protein supplements.
