Are optimum nutrition supplements studied scientifically for safe use as postworkout proteins and preworkout?
Aug 8, 2014

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
Whey protein and other nutritional supplements are generally not harmful, but are also not necessary for adequate muscle development- appropriate diet can supply all you need, and supplements are costly. There are also some supplements, like creatine, that while generally safe can pose harm in selected people.
Whey protein itself is probably safe, but with any food supplement, you can never be sure that the product has no contaminants (other substances that can harm you), since no safety agency regulates supplements.
another point is that it is considered safe depending on workout and caloric consumption and the overall protein intake conserning for example whey protein supplements but if taken overdosed where protein are overloaded then side effects will start,
IT is too much of a good thing is bad.
