Such supplements are top sellers. But a growing body of research shows you don't need protein supplementation unless you are a professional-level athlete in intense training or perhaps gravely ill from starvation or a wasting disease, and even then the need would be a case-by-case call.

The new studies highlight the fact that the most benign thing about protein supplements is that you're only wasting money. You reap little benefit and instead put yourself at risk for kidney, bone and heart disease.
Quote:
When training, you need about a half gram of protein per pound of body weight.... Meat has a generous 6 to 10 grams of protein per ounce. But even vegetarians can get enough protein from vegetables, even while training hard.
"I began kick boxing at age fifteen and now I have continued for fifteen years. I never gave up halfway, I just continued, and when you do that I feel now, 'hey something good will come to me'. It was 99% effort and 1% talent. Continuance will become strength. I just continued and that got me this belt." - Masato, 10/01/2008
