Protein supplements should only be taken when they are actually needed, not otherwise. If you exercise and workout then your body needs extra protein to repair muscles. Also, if you have protein deficiency then also you need protein supplements. If you are not working out but are getting enough protein from your food, then there is no need to have a supplement. <br>

What are the Pros and Cons of Taking Whey Protein Without Doing Workouts Protein supplements should only be taken when they are actually needed, not otherwise. If you exercise and workout then your body needs extra protein to repair muscles. Also, if you have protein deficiency then also you need protein supplements. If you are not working out but are getting enough protein from your food, then there is no need to have a supplement. I suggest that you always check with your nutritionist to know about the amount of protein you really need and your goal of having protein supplements. Some people don’t need protein and having it in excess causes digestive issues and protein toxicity. It is always better to not rely on supplements entirely for your complete nutrition source. You can include foods that are rich in protein in your diet, such as eggs, meat, fish, dal (pulses), soy, milk products (like cheese), and other vegetables. Factors while buying a protein powder: 1. Ingredients: Check the ingredients and source of the protein powder. Go with one that has natural sources and less additives such as colors, artificial sweeteners, vegetable oils, etc. 2. Quality: Go with known brands that are certified and tested by a third party. Check the source of protein, and how it’s manufactured. Also, buy from authorized dealers, sites or the brand directly. 3. Protein Content: Check for the protein content in the supplement. If it is less than 60-70%, then it is better to select other products. Some brands add a miniscule amount of protein in the supplement along with other filler substances.
