Whey Protein - Any Side Effects? How long till it works?!
Question: I recently started using Whey Protein as a suplement for my workout plan. I use 1 scoop with milk in the morning and 1 scoop with water after my workout. How long before I start seeing any results? I'm pretty sure I can see a result after a week or so, but maybe it's my imagination? =) (I got a pretty hectic workout plan, but it's to be more firm, not for bulking up). Also, are there any side effects? I heard that it clogs, can mess up your kidneys etc. But as I can figure thats only if you over do it is a myth. I use bout 50 grams per day.
Thanks =)

Reading some of these answers is very comical. I don't know why people post when they have no idea what they are talking about. Myth: Protein builds muscle. The fact is amino acids are responsible for muscle repair, it is true amino acids derive from protein, but certain types of protein contain different amino acids, so you cannot generalize protein. Myth: Protein damages kidneys. The truth is protein molecules are too large to be filtered through the kidneys, they are transported from the small intestine to the liver, where the liver decides to absorb them or send them on their way to be used elsewhere.
Let me help you out.
Taking protein will help increase muscle strength/mass. It is one of the few supplements that has been proven to work. Whey protein is a faster digesting protein, so I recommend taking it right after you work out. This get the amino acids into the blood stream and available for the muscles to grab. Casein is another type of protein powder you will commonly see. This is a slow digesting protein, so its going to give your body amino acids over a longer period of time. I would take casein protein right before bed or first thing in the morning. Milk has alot of casein protein and I like the fact that you mix whey(fast digesting) and milk in the morning. Of course, you have to eat a balanced diet, protein alone cannot build muscle. As far as i can tell you have a solid protein schedule and you should stick to it. Feel free to email me if you have any further questions. I enjoy answering questions in my field of research.

You'll know its working when you go to take a dump. BA-BOOM
Does no one know what protein does anymore? Protein does not make you stronger. The only thing protein does is help you recover your muscles so you can work out the next day. Whey protein will actually help you loose weight. If you wanna gain weight, take muscle milk. There is no side affects to protein at all. (By the way, protein is not going to make you gain bigger muscles, if you want that, i suggust you take steroids. Other then that its all about hard work!)
