      This got me curious because I’ve never heard of this, atleast according to this study it does not cause liver issues if you use it properly, aka you exercise and don’t just drink it casually.

      “The results showed that when whey protein is used in an uninformed manner and without exercising, adverse effects on the liver may occur by increasing the apoptotic signal in the short term and increasing inflammatory markers and hepatotoxicity in the long term.” - link

        Yes, that’s the reason, not that it’s generally bad. I shouldve clarified.

        It’s way too easy to take too much. Most people just take their whole daily dose or more with those drinks and forgetting that they get protein from the regular food as well. Most people don’t even know how much protein their body is able to process in a day.

        Add too much magnesium to it and your blood tests will show how bad it is for you, and your doctor will get mad at you.

        We don’t need this unless youre doing Sport all day long.
