Is whey protein bad for you?

Question

Hi im 18 and maybe start taking whey protein. Is whey protein bad for you in any way? Is it harmful if im only 18 like could it affect natural growth?

Also do i take whey protein before or after a workout?

Answer 1

I start the day with a protein drink, then have something like a tuna sandwich on wheat bread an hour before my workout, then have another protein drink within an hour of your workout.

You'll be fine it hasn't affected me in any way.

Answer 2

Considering that there are whey proteins in milk, I wouldn't think that they would be bad for you. However, too much of anything can have a negative effect on your health.

Answer 3

there are whey proteins in formula milk for babies so id imagine the correct amounts taken would not be harmful

Answer 4

No, just the people who are allergic to whey can't eat it. Their organisms do not tolerate it, that's why they just can eat some different kinds of bread ... You can eat whey if you are not allergic.

Answer 5

If you take too much of it, then yes it can damage your liver. However, a good amount can help your muscles repair much faster, and is not harmful to you in any way. Use it after a good workout.

Answer 6

No, whey protein is a more refined protein(less fat & sugar).
