Does whey protein affect the kidneys?

And of course, if you have any kidney concerns or are planning to increase protein intake significantly, it’s always smart to check with a healthcare professional.

Too much protein can make the kidneys work harder and could speed up kidney damage in people with conditions like chronic kidney disease (CKD).

I’ve heard this questions now so many time now and I, myself was once the victim of this fear. But there’s nothing wrong in being concern over your health before taking anything into your body.

Whey protein, for most people with healthy kidneys, doesn’t really cause any issues.

If your kidneys are healthy, you’re good to go with moderate whey protein. But if you're worried about potential risks, it's always a good idea to choose a high-quality whey protein. Higher-quality proteins, like those with minimal additives, artificial ingredients, and cleaner filtration methods, can be easier on your body overall.

However, if you already have kidney disease, that’s a different story.

Research shows that when consumed in moderation, it’s generally safe and doesn’t harm kidney function. Your kidneys do filter waste from your blood, and while high protein intake can increase their workload a bit, there's no strong evidence that moderate whey protein consumption harms them.

A study in the *American Journal of Kidney Diseases* found that high-protein diets might worsen kidney problems in those with CKD.

Hi all,

Why do so many men on the internet try to compete with women, or try to "humble" and bash them? There's so many videos across my tiktok and YouTube of men claiming how they're wanting to get back at women and put them in thier place.

I’ll try to clear you doubts on this.
