What are the side effects of eating protein powder?

Generally, we can get enough protein for the body's needs from our normal diet. For example, we can get rich protein from eggs, beans, and meat. If we supplement extra protein for a long time, when the protein intake exceeds what the body needs, after metabolism, many toxic metabolic residues will remain in the body tissues, which may cause auto-poisoning. Excessive acidity will cause the pH to be unbalanced. Forced discharge of some nutrients leads to nutrient deficiency, which also causes uric acid to accumulate and purine to accumulate in tissues.

If the protein intake is too high, the protein will be converted into fat in the body and stored, which will increase the burden on the liver step by step, and in serious cases, fatty liver will occur. Too much undigestible protein can corrupt and ferment in the intestine, leading to ammonia poisoning and liver coma. Excessive protein intake can also cause mental disorders, osteoporosis, heart disease, etc. in brain damage. In people who supplement protein for a long time, harmful substances will accumulate and be absorbed in the intestines, which may shorten life.
