Protein Powder Side Effects

Hello all. I intend to supplement my diet with whey protein powder. Are there any known side effects? im not allergic to dairy products. also, what is the recommended dose per day? im male year 17. if that helps.

Side effects are rare in taking extra protein, because protein is one of three basic elements to the diet, more fat and carbohydrates. However, some issues may develop when lots of the protein is taken, some of which are not properly digested. Usually this refers to excess gas in the intestinal tract. If this happens just reduce the amount of grams of protein you take, until this condition withdraws. One gram of protein per gram of body weight should be taken daily.

My boyfriend has been on proteins and for about a year now and he has not side effects. I was thinking of doing the same thing ...

2 grams of protein per kg of body weight or
1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight
