Does Protein Shake Cause Infertility In Men?

Hi, my husband and I have been trying for a baby for 2 years now. We recently visited a fertility centre and my husband was informed to stop taking his protein shakes as they can act as a male contraceptive? I have never heard anything about this before and just wanted any further information if possible?

Thank you

My husband is 6ft 4 and 14 stone with no medical history

Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic.

If that protein shakes contain only protein then it won't act as contraception. If any steroid is added then it may affect fertility.

I suggest you to see the content. If it is pure protein content then no need to worry. It will improve his health .

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards
