What is it used for?
Protein powder is used to supplement dietary protein when food intake is insufficient. It may support muscle maintenance and recovery, especially alongside regular exercise, but it is not a substitute for a balanced diet.
How does it work?
It provides protein, which is broken down into amino acids used by the body to maintain and repair muscles and other tissues.
How to take/use it
Use only as directed on the product label. Mix the recommended amount with water, milk or another suitable drink. Do not exceed the stated serving unless advised by a healthcare professional.
Common side effects
Some people may experience bloating, gas, nausea, stomach discomfort, diarrhoea or constipation.
Precautions
Check the ingredient and allergen label before use. Seek medical advice before using regularly if there is kidney or liver disease, or if protein intake has been medically restricted. Stop use and seek help if signs of an allergic reaction occur. Keep out of reach of children unless advised by a healthcare professional.
