@kevinwong - From an old guy who screwed his body up with supplements. Stick to natural foods. Just because it can be purchased from a store doesn't mean it is good for you. Namely :- Protein Powders. Good luck on your journey. Nice read and well formatted.
Ah I've used protein powders back when I was a gym rat. Didn't find them a problem! What happened?
@kevinwong My bloods reported that I had Chronic Kidney Disease (Stage 1 Kidney Failure!).
Kidney's do not regenerate, however fortunately for me the abnormal readings were due to Kidney overload processing the huge amount of Protein. I was consuming approximately 200 - 250g per day.
In addition to this I was also told these powders can contain Steroids or Testosterone boosters that can also cause additional problems with the Endocrine system.
I am now treated for low Testosterone. This could also simply be getting older so no concrete proof on the second claim.
I made a small article a while back about my experience
