It has been around 6-7 months that I started going to gym. I was advised by my instructor to take whey protein. Is it advisable to take? N is there any steroids or side effects of taking it?

Before having any kind of supplement you should have knowledge about the product. Try to include more protein in your diet and avoid supplements if it not required. Get your kidney functional tests done first and then realize do you really need it. Because requirement of supplement occurs when you are doing a heavy workout and not able to meet your protein requirements by natural diet. If you not doing a heavy workout and you do not need a muscle gain then avoid it. Otherwise collect all the details about the purity of supplement before buying any.
