I am 19. Can I consume whey protein?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a boy of 19 years, height 5' 11'' and weight 171.96 lb. I was wondering if I could consume whey protein.

Kindly assist.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Whey protein helps in fat loss and improves muscle mass. So, if you are interested in building muscles with exercise, then after the workout, that powder can be taken. Diet sprouts and other protein-rich foods can also be taken.

I hope I have answered your query.

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.

Thank you.
