protein supplement. hello . i am a teenager and i am 16 years old. i would like your professional opinion about starting a protein supplement at this age? i was thinking to start a supplement in order to consume more protein to achieve a muscle growth.
you will waste your money. you cannot overload on protein and "force" your body to use this protein to make muscle. all you will do is overload your kidneys. a young man (assuming you are male) needs about 0. 9 to 1. 2 grams of protein per kilo of lean body mass. assuming you are at an average weight you can get this protein from a healthy diet. if you want to build muscles then exercise under the guidence of a good trainer. my opinion: don't protein load. it is not likely to achieve the results you are wanting and may actually cause harm.
