Four protein shakes

[bass]

I have seen this a few times lately. If someone has a link or can post some studies showing protein powder is more damaging or stressful on your kidneys than protein from food I would be very interested in reading it.

FireGuy, actually my doctor told me not to take protein shakes after two blood tests that i did, but i still take it PWO anyway. Just remembered something, I think he said the Creatine in it is hard on the kidneys, not the protein, my bad…

and he's right, if you're taking 40-50g a day and dehydrated creatine can kill you, but 5-10g a day is fine

Ah...thanks for the clarification. That makes sense now. Elevated creatinine levels are very common among bodybuilders even if they are not taking creatine. I am always just over the accepted range. The Dr just had me take a clearance test and gave me the "good to go".
