I want to build my body. Is consuming body building protein powders prescribed by trainers in the gym is good for our health? Consuming it has any side effects? Will it have side effects after a long years when I'm growing old. Thank you.

College going youngsters love protein powder as a way to add in nutrients and calories without having to take the time to eat a full meal in the morning .Youngsters are always obscessed with protein powder as a super healthy choice but wait???. Are Protein Powders Healthy? ? Pretty much every ?health guru? and network marketing/MLM company out there has their own brand of protein powder, which they all claim to be the greatest thing ? There is a lot of mis-information when it comes to protein powder marketing and that many aren?t as healthy as they claim to be. ? With a few notable exceptions, most protein powders aren?t worth their cost. Source matters and any protein powder should definitely be from an organic (and grass-fed if dairy based) source, but there are additional concerns as well.A Consumer Reports investigation found low to moderate levels of lead, arsenic, and mercury in many well-known protein powders.Many other protein powders contain processed soy, artificial sweeteners, sugars, artificial flavors and colors, and synthetic nutrients that are not easily absorbed by the body.In a sense, protein powders can be thought of like a supplement. High quality ones can be beneficial in some cases, but they are never a replacement for a well-balanced, whole food diet.Some poteinpowder contain Body performance enhancing drugs called steroids.These steroids pump up the muscles in body spontaneously and are highly recommended by gym trainers and quack doctors in order to mince money as such products are costly with high margins and more over gym trainerss have taken an effective way out that other than to develop muscles by hard training they opt for such products to build ome good muscular body but body getss used to ,to such product and can harm our body organss and can pose some serious health hazard.So dont go for such Steroidal Protein powders but always go for Organic protein powders like Hydrolyzed Collagen , but they are never a replacement for a well-balanced, whole food diet.
