Frequently Asked Questions

Is too much protein harmful?

For healthy kidneys, intakes up to ~2.5–3 g/kg/day show no adverse effects in studies. Spread it across 3–5 meals.

Do I need protein right after training?

The 'anabolic window' is far wider than once believed β€” total daily protein matters most. Just get a protein-rich meal within a few hours.
