There is no evidence that whey protein directly damages our kidneys or liver. In fact, adequate intake of protein is essential for normal bodily functions and the body tends to suffer when we chronically eat less protein. That being said, overconsumption of protein is not conducive to perfect health either.

This is due of one of two reasons, the more common culprit is LACTOSE INTOLERANCE. If you are lactose intolerant and you still wish to consume whey, we would recommend investing in our isolated whey product or a vegan protein supplement.

The other culprit is ADULTERATION as some brands tend to spike their whey protein with cheap amino acids and additives to cut costs which can result in digestive distress. The best way to check for genuine supplements is via third party testing reports.

Nobody ‘needs’ to consume whey protein to gain muscle. It is a simple matter of convenience, accesibility, and a high quality protein source. The most determining factors for gaining muscle are going to be your training stimulus, adequate nutritional intake, and recovery. You can nail all three without using a whey protein supplement.
