Does Whey Protein Affect the Liver or Kidney

• The market is filled with a lot of health
  supplements these days. With so many brands and
  so much marketing, the fitness and nutritional
  supplement industry has become really big. Whey
  protein supplements are made from whey (a protein
  you get from milk).
• Each person needs a different amount of protein
  and it depends on a lot of factors like your
  diet, your exercise, your health condition, your
  age, etc. If you take more protein than required,
  then the body wont absorb it. Instead it will be
  eliminated from the body through the kidneys. The
  kidneys and other organs get stressed when you
  over consume protein as they have to process it
  and it has to be eliminated from the body. It can
  also lead to protein-toxicity.

• I suggest that you take protein supplements in
  moderation. Always talk to your doctor or
  professional nutritionist about whether you
  really need protein supplements. Find out the
  exact amount you need per day and have it
  accordingly.
• Also select a reputed supplement from a tested
  brand. Dont go for unknown and cheap products.
  Buy authentic products (from authorized dealers
  and sites) since fake products contain a lot of
  harmful substances like steroids, hormones,
  fillers, etc.

• Read the ingredients of the product before buying
  it. If it contains a lot of fillers, oils, fats,
  and artificial substances, then avoid it. You can
  also have a high-protein diet for your protein
  needs. Some high-protein foods include eggs,
  milk, cheese, pulses, nuts, vegetables, etc.
