Yes, protein powder can have side effects, including:
Gastrointestinal issues
Whey protein can cause gas, bloating, diarrhea, or cramps, especially in people who are lactose intolerant. Consuming whey protein can also lead to an imbalance of good and bad bacteria in your gut, which can cause stomach pain, constipation, and gas.
Nutritional imbalance
Protein powder contains more protein than natural proteins like eggs, milk, and meat, which can cause an imbalance.
Weight gain
Weight gain supplements can cause kidney stones, which can make body hormones susceptible to them.
Heart disease
Consuming too much protein powder can cause artery damage, which can lead to a heart attack or cause the failure of other organs.
