Is It Safe To Have Whey Protein For Body Building?
Hello doctor,
I am 20 years old and 5'11 tall, with a weight of 59kg. I have recently started going to gym, and my trainer have suggested me to start taking whey protein. Should i go for it? Will it be beneficial and if yes, will it come with a price, as in will it have side effects?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It may help to add muscle mass to your body and therefore help in this way.
In terms of side effects, it is generally safe but can only cause problems if used in very high doses.
In that instance it can cause symptoms such as nausea, bloating and cramps.
I hope this helps
