Hello, thanks for the query.
You know that excess of every thing is bad.
Protein supplement , but why ? You protein is found in eggs ( white) , cheese , milk , non -veg , fish cereals, pulses.
Only extra supplements of protein are taken by body builders for , to form the shape of muscles.
Excess of protein causes following side effects,
1 Renal failure,
2 Weight gain,
3 loss of appetite ( protein will meet the demand of body)
4flatulence ( forming of gas in intestine.
5 Constipation.
So decide , still you need protein or not.
Have a good luck.
