Thanks for asking in Healthcaremagic Forum
In Short: Body takes/absorbs when needed.
Explanation: Your age is 18, so you can still grow till 25 yr(If you are male). Actually body required about 1g/kg body weight of protein daily. So this can be consumed in your normal daily diet itself. In fact it is actually proved in USA that more protein will harm rather than doing good.
So my sincere advice is to have more of Dal, sprouted pulses in your diet and do regular exercise than going for protein supplements. You can have protein supplement started after consulting your local doctor.
Good luck.
