Protein Side Effects - Pros and Cons of Protein on the Body and Muscles

It is well known that highly concentrated protein mixtures cannot harm the body, but this is true only if the use of protein does not exceed the established norms. In other words, in everything you need to know when to stop, otherwise even the most harmless and, moreover, useful product is capable of causing certain harm to the body. In this article, we'll take a look at whether protein can be harmful. The side effects of protein due to excessive consumption will be described by grade so that it is more convenient for the reader to navigate and find exactly the type of protein concentrate that is closer to him.

Protein: the effect of eating

Let's start with a simple description of the effect of any kind of protein on the human body, which consists of the following steps.

1. Protein enters the stomach, where it undergoes a kind of primary processing stage, breaking down into the simplest protein constituents.
2. Moving to the intestine, protein molecules react with various components, releasing amino acids of various directions and actions contained in them. Some of them stimulate the thyroid gland, others the liver, while others act as energy capsules for muscles, etc.
3. Amino acids are distributed throughout the body to promote muscle growth and development by stimulating the production of certain hormones in particular.

This is approximately how the process of assimilation of any kind of protein looks like and it differs only in the speed and component composition of the initial product, the properties of which we will talk about later.

Protein: side effects and actions of different strains

• egg protein - is considered the ideal protein grade, as it has an optimal absorption rate and a high level of amino acid saturation. However, with its excessive use, the thyroid gland may slightly suffer, and therefore the hormonal background in the body will change. However, this can only happen if protein is consumed in the amount of 200-300 grams per day daily and for a long time, and the problem does not require drug treatment, since the body will recover on its own in 2-3 weeks. However, for a professional athlete, these 2-3 weeks can mean months or a whole year of intense training, run down the drain;
• milk protein - in fact, it is dangerous only because it contains lactose, which the athlete's body may simply not absorb. One in five people who consume milk protein have similar problems. In the future, it all depends on the body's response to lactose.

1. Or it is simply not absorbed, making the use of milk protein useless.
2. Or it is partially absorbed, causing intestinal upset and other unpleasant consequences.
3. Or it causes an allergic reaction, which is extremely rare.

• casein protein - can be harmful due to its component composition, which, as in the case of milk protein, can lead to disturbances in the digestive system;
• soy protein - known for its negative effect on testosterone levels in the male body, reducing the effectiveness of anabolic processes. However, it is completely safe for women;
• complex proteins - if you have problems with any of the above types of protein, then before purchasing a complex protein, carefully study its composition, so that it does not contain the type that can lead to health problems.

In general, except for the individual intolerance to the components from the protein composition, the protein is completely safe, and we will repeat ourselves, following the diet and knowing in every way, no health problems should arise from the use of moderate portions of the protein concentrate.
