• I suggest that you speak to your doctor before
  starting any supplement. They will be able to
  guide you based on your current situation. No
  matter what supplement we plan to take, we should
  always talk to a professional and not
  self-medicate.

• Whey protein is the protein that is got from
  milk, after the cheese-making process. It is of
  three types - concentrate, isolate and
  hydrolysate. These days, there are many whey
  protein supplements available in the market.
  There are flavoured as well as unflavoured. When
  protein, when consumed in excess, has to be
  eliminated from the body and this elimination
  process happens through the kidneys. There is
  only so much protein a person can absorb, and the
  excess has to be removed from the body. When you
  consume a lot of whey protein daily, your kidneys
  get stressed and have to work overtime. This can
  cause problems.

• Another thing is that protein supplements do
  contain a lot of additives that can additionally
  cause problems to the body. Many brands add a lot
  of additives. Always read through the additives
  and find out more about them. Some common
  additives are artificial colors, artificial
  flavours, artificial sweeteners (Erythritol,
  Acesulfame Potassium, Saccarin, Aspartame,
  Sucralose, etc.), Gums Thickeners, Vegetable
  Oils Fats, etc.
