I do not believe they are any negative side effects from taking a protein drink after you workout. It is actually one of the best ways to ensure you are recovering from your workout as soon as possible. Try adding some simple carbs as well….

Im a 14 year old boy and I want to use Whey Protein + workout does it have any bad side effects?

Q: I dont want to become like crazy big or have any side effects, just look better. Will it help without any negative effects.And how should i use it + When?

A: Yes, it’s absolutely fine to take Whey protein. Whey protein is just protein in powder form. Whey protein is actually just the protein extracted out of milk and soy, and it is in a powder form all in a bucket so you can get lots of protein in one scoop.There are no negative effects. You won’t get huge by eating Whey protein. All Whey protein does is provide you with the essential nutrients to repair and rebuild your muscle fibers, since they are broken down from a workout.You should mainly use it pre and post-workout. You need it pre-workout because you don’t want your body to go into a catabolic state and use your muscle mass as fuel for energy during a workout. And most importantly, you need it post-workout, that is when you need it delivered quickly to your body, since your muscle fibers have been broken down from working out. Don’t take it with milk pre and post-workout, that will cause it to digest slowly, which is the opposite of what you want. Also, it is actually perfectly fine to workout at 14. Weightlifting stunting your growth is a myth, started in the 1960’s, there is absolutely no valid, scientific evidence to back that theory up. In fact, most evidence shows that weightlifting may increase HGH (Human Growth Hormone).Best of luck!

Negative effects of soy protein in men?

Q: Without thinking about it (except to compare the price of soy supplement mix to that of whey supplement [costlier]), I’ve been drinking soy protein isolate shake mix after having had wisdom teeth taken out last week. As a source of protein, since I read that a high-protein diet can help in such healing.Then I noticed a complete drop-off in libido. Initially saw this is in a neutral context. Neither here nor there.After searching the subject online, however, I find that some sites (bodybuilder types) advocate against men consuming soy protein (due to its proven ability to reduce testosterone levels and introduce estrogen chemicals, I guess), and some bodybuilder types claim that its effects on testosterone and sperm levels could be permanent.Although the current side effects are interesting, should I stop consuming it altogether? My plan was to have it until my gums healed next week; but if the damage is permanent, I’ll cease. Just wondering what’s true and what’s not.After now reading a few more studies, I think it’s best to be on the safe side and return my soy protein for some whey protein.I checked the labels of all the nutritional drinks and so on that I’ve consumed the past week and a half — I think I’ve eaten a ton of soy protein isolate. Yikes.I just hope the effects aren’t permanent. Any experiences/stories would be appreciated, as it relates to whether a return to normal libido should be expected after ceasing consumption. I just never had a chance to make a (lifelong) decision as a consumer based on side-effect criteria, since I didn’t know the side effects.

A: There is no scientific basis for this claim, I was drinking 50-10 grams of soy protein for a long time, for much the same reason as you, price. I have recently found a place to buy cheaper plain whey protein so I mix mine 50 percent whey and 50 percent Soy. In any event all of the things your reading about have to do with the fact that soy protein is very chemically similar to that of estrogen. However there have been several studies that have looked at this, and I have yet to find one that indicates any correlation. There are lots of things that are chemically similar that don’t have the same effects. I wouldn’t stress about it to much.

Is Whey Protein Bad???

Q: are there any negative side effects to taking Whey Protein? I’ve heard something about bad gas and hard on the kidneys……but don’t know if those are true, just wondering about the facts

A: Im sure they do give you gas. But to lessen that effect, get a good reliable brand most people use, a bad brand would be that £5 vanilla whey protein powder. That looks unhealthy for some reason, maybe because it is sooooo cheap.Protein can be unhealthy on the kidneys but like the other guy said, drink some water and also eat other food groups aswell. Just don’t have too much of it, max 2 protein shakes a day to be honest.Also try to eat protein from chicken and eggs etc. don’t always go for whey even though it still is fine to take since its just dried milk and whey.Excess protein will be deaminated in the liver, so basically the r group is converted into ammonia which is toxic but is then flushed out with urea.Hope this helpedStef
