Side Effects of Using Whey Protein Supplement
Shakes as Primary Source of Protein

• It is always better to not rely on supplements
  entirely for your complete nutrition source. You
  can include foods that are rich in protein in
  your diet, such as eggs, meat, fish, dal
  (pulses), soy, milk products (like cheese), and
  other vegetables. Natural food and protein
  sources are always a better option for any
  nutrient. Knowing your protein requirement also
  matters. You can find out your current protein
  levels to check for any deficiency and also talk
  to a fitness professional.

If you are buying a protein powder / supplement,
then there are some points to keep in mind They
are-

• 1. Ingredients Check the ingredients and source
  of the protein powder. Go with one that has
  natural sources and less additives such as
  colors, artificial sweeteners, vegetable oils,
  etc.
• 2. Quality Go with known brands that are
  certified and tested by a third party. Check the
  source of protein, and how its manufactured.
  Also, buy from authorized dealers, sites or the
  brand directly.
• 3. Protein Content Check for the protein content
  in the supplement. If it is less than 60-70,
  then it is better to select other products. Some
  brands add a miniscule amount of protein in the
  supplement along with other filler substances.
• 4. Your Need Some people dont need supplements
  as they gain protein from their diet. Check your
  need and then opt for powders if you need to.

• I suggest you compare different supplements
  before buying them. You can also check out
  product comparison sites to save time and the
  effort of market research. Dont go by reviews,
  but actually look at the facts. Some brands add
  fillers to cut their manufacturing costs, and
  these substances are not useful. Go with products
  that have a higher protein content per scoop or
  per gram.
