[AbFab]

Seroiusly I dont actually know whether this sort of reasearcg exists, but my Mum says she get me some ON whey, IF, I can show her research that shows that protein powder, does not damage people my age (15) I know what I think but, articles always say that if you parents dont agree jus show them the science, well I need the science!!!!!!

P.S some of you guys jus seem to be able to come up with research, I hop you can do that with me, where do you get it?

This is the final step after months of aguing, whther I can start supps yay!

All it is is quick absorbing protein after your workout it's fine my 14 year old brother takes it sometimes after benching :0

Geez, just point out to her that whey protein is first and foremost PROTEIN! Furthermore, whey means it fundamentally comes from milk and cheese related products. It is not creatine, steroids, prohormones, etc. I realize that many of us in here like and use those types of things, but whey protein is probably the safest and most necessary supplement you can take, especially at your age.

Tell your mom that since it's just protein, it's the same thing as eating meat.

Protein powder = concentrated milk, in essence. There's no difference. If she lets you eat meat, she should let you take protein powder.

Protein powder = concentrated milk, in essence.

Unless you're talking about MPI, powders are concentrated whey, if anything.

erm, I said I know what it is and thats it's safe, do you think I haven't told her that? She just wants proof, the forum search wont work(says there something wrong with line 291)

[WheyIsolate]

Creatine's not that bad either You get 2g of that from 12oz steak, so tell your mother to stop giving you that nasty food because it has the STEROID creatine in it.

Tell her protein is made from food. In essence all protein comes from food. Do analogy of a protein shake equaling say 2cans of tuna, and say how much easier it would be to have a shake instead of so much tuna. Tell her its insane and its like her saying you cant eat meat, fish, eggs, milk etc....

Is Google broken or something?

Here:

Have her read this, then write you a summary of what it says.

Next time, learn to do your own damn searches.

Thanks ohashi *gives rep points
I've given her the facts to read over, I can almost hear the delivery van

[Man2kx]

Basically, if she counters with, well if its like eating meat, why don't you eat meat after workout? Whey is a very fast digesting protein which gets to your muscles very quickly. It's necessary to get protein in after workout as soon as possible for good results.

the only way protein is bad for you is if it hurts your kidneys

this is true however its the concentration of protein going through the kidneys for instance dark yellow pee is not good bc theres a high concentration of crap thats why after drinking alot of water it comes out clear no matter wuts being pissed out the majority is water thus less protein while be concentrated at going through your kidney at a time second protein wont even touch ur kidney unless its not being used workout and make ur body need that protein no kidney damage also keep it under 2 grams of pound per bodyweight and who cares she can ask a doctor about that but dont just ask one if its safe 2 take supplements they will say no

That would be the intelligent thing to do...why go through a middleman.
