Overview
•Contains milk-derived whey protein concentrate, hydrolyzed whey protein concentrate, and whey protein isolate; unsuitable for people with milk allergy and may bother those sensitive to lactose.
•Contains soy lecithin, so people with soy allergy should use caution even though lecithin is often tolerated better than whole soy protein.
•Common side effects can include bloating, gas, nausea, loose stools, or stomach discomfort, especially from whey concentrate, sweeteners, and gums.
•People with significant kidney disease, severe liver disease, or prescribed protein restriction should consult a clinician before using high-protein powders.
•High-protein intake may reduce levodopa absorption/effectiveness if taken close together; separate dosing and ask a clinician if using levodopa.
•During pregnancy or breastfeeding, whey protein itself is a food-derived protein source, but use should be clinician-approved if relying on it heavily or if sensitive to sweeteners/additives.
