whey protein or creatine for use but I am confused regarding the
use of these products. I read in a newspaper that they are harmful
for the body and want to know about their side effects. Should I
use them or not?
A. There are no recorded side effects of whey
proteins as such if taken as per required dosages.
1. There could be allergic reactions in people suffering from
lactose
intolerance.
2. Overuse can cause liver damage.
Training athletes often consume 25 grams of whey proteins per day.
Body builders consume up to 150 grams per day. Extremely high doses
are not recommended as this can cause the body's liver to be
overloaded and you will not get the same benefits as with
consistent lower amount taken 3-5 times per day. Though protein
products may not be harmful by themselves, but, if not accompanied
by regular exercises, they may lead to unwanted weight gain.
Supplements do not build muscles, exercises DO.
Creatine promotes water retention in muscles. To utilize the
effects of creatine avoid caffeine. Caffeine offsets the absorption
and effects of creatine.
