Is It Safe To Inject Protein To Improve Muscle Strength?
Hi, I m 49, have Kallmanns syndrome and a dairy allergy. I ve been injecting testosterone for 30 years. It masked my allergy symptoms, which I discovered only 5 years ago. As a result my intestines are in bad shape. I exercise, have a strict diet and am really tired. I need to get some strength in my muscles. Any protein intake does not work. Id like to try injecting protein.

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
As you mentioned you have bad intestines i will personally feel that taking protein injection might not be good for the body. Incase, if the protein is not getting synthesized then the trouble will be the high proteins levels as you might be undergoing the synthesis supplement of the proteins.
Also, you can definitely consume the natural form of proteins from the food sources. Also you need to understand that exercise is a slow process to give enough strength.
Providing a good diet and moderate exercises will help alot. As the muscle starts gets weaker with advancement of the age, one has to come into the category of moderate exercise, good diet, and good sleep. Also meditation helps in recharging the brain and Breathing exercises helps in improving the oxygen in the blood which is good for all the systems.
With the grace of God i wish you a good health.
