Overview
•Generally low-risk for healthy adults when used as a food-like protein source within total daily protein needs.

•People with chronic kidney disease or medically restricted protein intake should use only with clinician guidance.
•Separate from levothyroxine, bisphosphonates, or levodopa if advised, because protein/minerals can interfere with timing or absorption for some medicines.
