Whey protein side effects. Whey protien truth...

Whey protien is the protein contained in whey(1), the watery portion of milk that separates from the curds when making cheese.

Whey protein is used for improving athletic performance, as a food supplement, as an alternative to milk for people with lactose intolerance, for replacing or supplementing milk-based infant formulas, and for reversing weight loss and increasing glutathione  (GSH) in people with HIV disease.

Are there safety concerns?

Whey protein is LIKELY SAFE for most children and adults when taken by mouth appropriately. High doses can cause some side effects as increased bowel movements, nausea, thirst, bloating, cramps, reduced appetite, tiredness(fatigues), and headaches. 

In addition, there is a need for greater fluid consumption when consuming large quantities of protein. Protein requires approximately seven times the water for metab-olism than carbohydrate or fat. Low-carbohydrate consumption typically accom-panies high-protein diets (especially for weight loss), which can lead to decreased glycogen stores, inhibition of performance, and possible dehydration. Therefore, the main concern with high-protein diets is dehydration because the urea nitrogen cycle processes dietary nitrogen and water is eliminated via the urinary system. Because dehydration of as little as 3% can impair performance, athletes and active individuals ingesting extra protein should weigh themselves regularly to ensure they are properly hydrated.

The recommended dosage of whey protien is :-

Special Precautions & Warnings:

Pregnancy and breast-feeding: There is not enough reliable information about the safety of taking whey protein if you are pregnant or breast feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.

Milk allergy: If you are allergic to cow's milk, avoid using whey protein.That kind of people must go for a whey protein isolate which, in addition to having lower total carbohydrate content, also has lower lactose content. This means that it could be a better choice for those who are lactose intolerant.

The Bottom Line:

There are people all around, who dont have any knowledge about this supplement. They are the ones who poliferate rumours such as, "consumption of whey protein leads to kidney damage", "whey protien works like steroids", etc.

Consumption of anything beyond the safe limit is harmful. So consume whey protein according to the recommendations.

Also, according to reaserches we connot neglect the fact that there are traces of heavy metals found in most of the whey protein supplements.

You can refer to LABDOOR(2) (it is an independent company that tests supplements).

But the heavy metals are in very small amounts, they aren't capable of harming a person severely.

So guys, use this powerful supplement consciously to get the max benefit of it.
