  1. How Do Whey Protein Supplements Damage the Digestive System and How to Prevent it Whey protein is the protein you get from milk, as part of the cheese-making process. Whey protein and casein are the two proteins of milk. These days, the market is filled with a lot of protein supplements and it is really tough to select the right one. Whey protein can cause a reaction in people who are lactose intolerant. Such people should go for other proteins like plant-based, soy, rice, pea, etc. Other side effects of whey proteins are loss of appetite, bloating, stomach upset, pain, etc. Let us look at some ways in which whey protein supplements can affect the digestive system: Whey Protein Type: There are three types - concentrate, isolate and hydrolysate. Concentrate contains lesser amount of protein and also includes fats and carbohydrates. Isolate contains more protein than concentrate. Hydrolysate contains protein in the pre- digested form. If you can’t digest concentrate then you can opt for isolate or hydrolysate. Milk vs. Water: If you take the supplement with milk, it will be more difficult to digest. Milk contains fats, and carbs and is quite slow to digest. Taking the supplement with water makes it easier to digest it. Method of Consuming: If you drink the shake too fast, or all at one go, it can be a shock to your stomach. It is always better to drink it slowly and without swallowing much air (it can cause gas). Quantity:Don’t believe what you read in ads or reviews. Not everyone needs 3-4 scoops of protein a day. If you have more protein than you actually need, then it will be an overload on your digestive system. Don’t solely rely on supplements for your protein needs. You can go with other sources of protein in your diet like eggs, pulses/dal, vegetables, nuts, dairy products, etc. Natural products are really the best way to get any nutrients. Supplements should only add on to that. Also, do buy authentic products, even if they are more expensive. The market has a lot of fake products and they are harmful. They contain carbs, oils and fats and things like growth hormones and steroids. So, check for authenticity before buying.
