“Is whey protein safe for teenager?”
My son is 15 years old, and he goes to the gym a lot with his friends. Now, he wants to start whey protein shakes to go along with his workouts. Are these safe for a teenager?

Whey protein is LIKELY SAFE for most children and adults when taken by mouth appropriately. High doses can cause nausea, thirst, bloating, cramps, reduced appetite, tiredness (fatigue), and headache.
They are safe if he stays hydrated. They can harm the kidneys if dehydration and muscle breakdown from excessive workout
